Description
Rope access descender with variable friction and high capacity for abseiling, ascending,
lowering, hauling and rescue
Features:
• Multiple configuration, can change between configurations under load
• Double-braking mechanism
• High, 200kg load rating
• All component parts visible
• Stainless steel friction surfaces
Multiple threading configurations provide different levels of friction. User
can switch from one configuration to the other while device is loaded:
Normal Friction – will brake if the handle is released or if it is squeezed
fully. Prism does not require additional friction from a second karabiner to
hold higher loads.
Reduced Friction – used for: ascending, paying rope in and out, or under
partial load, such as when moving across a horizontal surface towards an
edge prior to abseiling.
Meets selection criteria of IRATA International Code of Practice, March
2013, 2.7.5.4.
Locks if handle is released or squeezed too hard.
Suitable for 2 person loads.
Patented duo brake mechanism increases friction under heavy loading
and reduces rate at which friction is released.
Inspection and cleaning is simple as all component parts of device are
visible and accessible.
Stainless steel friction surfaces for reduced wear and consistent
performance.
Can be used as a releasable anchor in rig for rescue systems
