  • Automatic Self-Braking: The device’s cam-and-clamp mechanism engages on handle release, instantly arresting rope movement to prevent uncontrolled descent and improve user safety during rope-access or rescue.
  • Rope Compatibility & Versatility: Works reliably with 10.0–12.0 mm diameter kernmantle ropes — covering a broad range of standard rope-access and fall-protection setups.
  • Lightweight, Corrosion-Resistant Build: Aluminium alloy body with anodized finish delivers a low-weight yet robust structure, reducing fatigue while maintaining strength and resistance to environmental corrosion.
  • Secure Attachment via Karabiner: Steel quarter-turn locking karabiner (PN113) enables firm, secure connection to harness or anchor points — ensuring stability and preventing accidental disengagement.
  • User Comfort & Safety Features: Polymer-coated cover over friction surfaces reduces heat and wear during descent, enhancing comfort and reducing risk of rope-burn or overheating under load.
  • Rope Access & Maintenance: For façade cleaning, painting, building maintenance, chimney or tower maintenance, where controlled descent and rope management are required.
  • Rescue & Emergency Services: Suitable for lowering or rescuing personnel from height or confined-space environments, enabling controlled descent and secure anchor connection.
  • Industrial & Construction Work at Height: Use in tower work, structural maintenance, inspection, or any scenario requiring reliable descent control and secure rope-access equipment.
