The integrated pulley runs on sealed ball bearings for easy slack-taking and efficient rope manoeuvres. It works on either doubled ropes or a single rope, and the fixed lower attachment hole keeps the device aligned with the worker's axis, optimising grip and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntuitive to use — technique identical to a classic Prusik pulley system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevice locks automatically once the friction chain extends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease lever gives precise control over rope feed and movement speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed ball-bearing pulley with curved side plates for easy slack-taking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on doubled or single rope, with CHICANE and Knee Ascent compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper attachment hole for rope end or CHICANE auxiliary brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuxiliary attachment hole for a ZILLON lanyard or second system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction with curved side plates for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:600px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;box-shadow:0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,.03);overflow:hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:42%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:58%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f8f8f8;font-weight:600;text-align:left;padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eCertification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eCE; compliant for ANSI Z133 use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f8f8f8;font-weight:600;text-align:left;padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eRope Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e11.5–13mm, EN 1891 Type A low-stretch kernmantle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f8f8f8;font-weight:600;text-align:left;padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eWorking Load Limit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e140kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f8f8f8;font-weight:600;text-align:left;padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eAluminium, steel, nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f8f8f8;font-weight:600;text-align:left;padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;color:#111;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;\"\u003e365g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the Petzl ZIGZAG?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePetzl\u003c\/strong\u003e is a globally recognised leader in climbing and rope access hardware, and the ZIGZAG is the standard, more affordable entry into Petzl's mechanical Prusik system.
