Petzl 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 classic Prusik pulley system technique. The friction chain provides precision and fluidity when moving around. The pulley is mounted on sealed ball bearings to allow the slack to be taken up easily. Can be used on either doubled ropes or a single rope, providing great versatility. The lower attachment hole with high-efficiency swivel ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device. Detailed description Intuitive to use:- technique identical to 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 great control over his/her movements. Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement- easy to take up slack, thanks to the pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings and the separated and curved side plates- lower attachment hole with 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 ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system Durability:- steel construction for improved durability- separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance Rope compatibility: 11.5 to 13 mm diameter ZIGZAG PLUS allows the user to work in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard Video Specifications Material(s): aluminum, steel, nylon Weight: 425 g Rope compatibility: EN 1891 type A low stretch kernmantel ropes Working load limit: 140 kg Certification(s): CE, UKCA

Rock Exotica Akimbo

Opens easily to install/remove rope mid-line, without detaching from harness. Accepts wide range of rope sizes (See list of approved ropes). Friction adjusts easily without tools. Suitable for both SRS and MRS climbing methods. SRS chest attachment wire gate provides quick connect/disconnect for cord or small carabiner. Ascend, descend and position in the canopy without changing equipment. Lightweight and compact. For Ropes sizes 11.5mm-13mm Weighs 9.2lbs(261gm) The Akimbo is a unique arborist climbing tool that enables the climber to ascend, descend and position on both stationary rope and moving rope systems. The Akimbo features rope contact surfaces (Upper and Lower Bollards) that adjust to accommodate a wide range of rope sizes to suit the climber's needs or preferences—all without tools or disassembling components. The Bollards can also be adjusted to increase or decrease friction to accommodate changes in climber weight, changes in environment, or adjust for natural wear of the Akimbo's contact surfaces. The Akimbo opens easily to remove or install a rope mid-line in seconds, and compresses back down into a compact form factor both on and off the rope. When climbing on stationary rope, the chest harness connection point facilitates quick connections by way of an innovative wire gate. As opposed to a closed loop attachment, the wire gate conveniently allows the climber to use a small non-PPE carabiner to connect to the SRS attachment point, or directly to a loop of cord. APPROVED ROPES The following ropes are approved for use with the Akimbo at the Working Load Limit (WLL) shown below. Only approved ropes should be used with the Akimbo. Working Load is equal to the total weight of the climber including gear. Total Working Load of the climber must not exceed the Working Load Limit (WLL) for the rope listed below or slippage may occur! Suitability of approved ropes can be affected by environmental factors, condition of rope, and condition of Akimbo. Follow steps in the Akimbo User Instructions to test rope and verify friction settings before climbing. Check often for updates to the list of approved ropes.
