The Descender Rig is a compact self-braking belay device designed for experienced rope access operators. It has an ergonomic handle that allows for a controlled and comfortable descent. The Descender Rig has an autolock function, which means that as soon as you release the handle, it returns to the locked position. The autolock function also makes it easy for the rope access worker to position themselves on the work site without having to adjust the handle. The product has no panic function.
