Petzl Zigzag Plus Descender

The Petzl ZIGZAG PLUS is a mechanical Prusik designed for efficient and fluid movement during professional tree care. It uses a friction chain that operates similarly to a traditional Prusik pulley system, providing intuitive control when ascending, descending, and moving through the canopy.

An integrated pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings makes slack tending smooth and efficient, while the lower attachment point incorporates a high-efficiency swivel to help maintain correct device orientation and improve rope glide.
