Description

The I’D L self-braking descender is primarily designed for technical rescue. It has a multi-function handle that allows control of the descent speed, positioning at a work station without the need to tie off the device, and fluid movement along inclined or horizontal terrain. The integrated anti-panic function and anti-error catch limit the risk of an accident due to user error. Its rugged construction makes it particularly suited for hauling and lowering heavy loads.

• Designed for rescue: no gate.
• Multi-function handle allows the user to:
  - unlock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
  - move more easily on horizontal or inclined terrain, thanks to the button on the handle
  - position himself without having to tie off the device
• Anti-panic function activates if the user pulls too hard on the handle: it brakes and stops the descent automatically
• Anti-error catch to reduce the risk of an accident due to incorrect installation of the device on the rope.
• Pivoting cam facilitates taking up the slack in the rope. Can also be used to make a reversible haul system, and for short ascents (in conjunction with a FOOTAPE or FOOTCORD foot loop and an ASCENSION handled rope clamp).
• Lowers heavy loads up to 272 kg (only for expert users; consult the Instructions for Use for the device at www.petzl.com)
• Available in two colors: red and black
