Petzl – RIG

The Petzl RIG is a compact, self-braking descender designed for experienced rope access professionals. Built for efficiency, control, and safety, it’s the ideal tool for those who need reliable descent and positioning capabilities in demanding vertical environments.

With an ergonomic handle, the RIG provides precise and comfortable descent control. Its intuitive design features Petzl’s AUTO-LOCK system, which automatically locks the rope when the handle is released, allowing the user to stay securely positioned at their workstation without the need for tie-offs or extra steps. Once locked, the user can take up slack without touching the handle, streamlining operations in real-time. A safety gate on the side plate allows the rope to be installed without detaching the device from the harness, improving efficiency and safety when transitioning between tasks.

Compact, durable, and designed with the needs of professionals in mind, the RIG is a powerful descender for day-to-day rope access and work-at-height operations.
