Petzl RIG Descender – Gold
Professional Descender for Rope Access Experts
The Petzl RIG Descender – Gold is a compact, high-performance descender designed for experienced rope access technicians and rescue professionals. Built for daily use, it offers precise control, durability, and efficiency in demanding work environments.
Ergonomic Control and AUTO-LOCK Safety
An ergonomic handle provides smooth, controlled descent, while the AUTO-LOCK system automatically blocks the rope when the handle is released. This allows users to position themselves securely at a workstation without tying off or adjusting the device manually.
Easy Rope Installation and Versatile Use
The RIG features a safety gate on the moving side plate, enabling quick rope installation without disconnecting from the harness. It supports two descent modes—over the side plate or through the V-shaped friction channel—for improved control and reduced rope twisting.
Durable and Built to Last
Designed for intensive professional use, the RIG includes reinforced wear zones and an optimised cam shape to reduce friction damage and extend the lifespan of the device in demanding environments.
