Move efficiently in a tree with the innovative mechanical Prusik of the Petzl ZIGZAG plus. Using the classic Prusik pulley system technique, the friction chain and sealed ball bearings provide smooth movement, and the pulley can be used on either single or double ropes, providing great versatility and adaptability.
Designed to allow a controlled descent and ascent in a tree, this mechanical Prusik is easy to use and provides excellent precision when moving around. The Petzl ZIGZAG plus locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends, while the rope feed is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever. The Petzl ZIGZAG plus is versatile for use on doubled ropes or a single rope, providing great versatility and the ability to gear up or down quickly.
ZIGZAG® PLUS
Mechanical Prusik with high-efficiency swivel for tree care.
The ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusik allows the user to move around efficiently in a tree using the classic Prusik pulley system technique. The friction chain provides precision and fluidity when moving around. The pulley is mounted on sealed ball bearings, allowing the slack to be taken up easily. It can be used on double or single ropes, providing great versatility. The lower attachment hole with a high-efficiency swivel ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device.
Description
Intuitive to use:
- technique identical to the classic Prusik pulley system
- the device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends
For efficient movement within the tree:
- rope feed is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever, allowing the user control over his/her movements. Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement
- easy to take up the slack, thanks to the pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings and the separated and curved side plates
- lower attachment hole with a high-efficiency swivel ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device
Versatile:
- for use on either doubled ropes or a single rope, thanks to the CHICANE accessory, which offers more friction on the descent, and the KNEE ASCENT assemblies, which facilitate the ascent
- upper attachment hole for the rope end when using a doubled rope or for the CHICANE auxiliary braking device when using a single rope. It has a flexible positioning ring that helps keep the connector oriented along its major axis
- auxiliary attachment hole for adding a ZILLION lanyard or connecting a second system
Durability:
- steel construction for improved durability
- separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance
