Petzl ZIGZAG® PLUS: Advanced Mechanical Prusik with High-Efficiency Swivel for Tree Care Professionals

The Petzl ZIGZAG® PLUS is an enhanced mechanical Prusik designed for arborists, facilitating smooth and efficient movement within trees by employing the classic Prusik pulley system technique. Its integrated high-efficiency swivel and robust construction provide optimal performance and durability in tree care operations.

Key Features:

• Intuitive Operation: Utilizes the traditional Prusik pulley system, allowing seamless integration into existing climbing techniques. The device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends.
• Efficient Movement: The release lever enables precise control over rope feed, allowing users to adjust movement speed by varying pressure on the lever. The pulley, mounted on sealed ball bearings, facilitates easy slack management.
• Integrated Swivel: The lower attachment hole features a high-efficiency swivel, ensuring stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device.
• Versatile Use: Compatible with both doubled ropes and single ropes when used with the CHICANE auxiliary braking device, enhancing adaptability in various climbing scenarios. The upper attachment hole accommodates the rope end or the CHICANE device, while an auxiliary attachment hole allows for the addition of a ZILLON lanyard or a second system.
