An integrated swivel maintains optimal alignment and reduces twisting, while the upper carabiner's positioning, opposite the user, makes feeding rope through effortless and doubles as an attachment point for V-rigs or 3:1\/4:1 pulley systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-technique\u003c\/strong\u003e — switch between SRT and DRT without removing the rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-button mid-line attachment, no detaching from harness required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated swivel for optimal alignment and reduced twisting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper attachment point doubles for V-rigs and 3:1\/4:1 pulley systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall-bearing pulley for comfortable slack take-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotatable cam on the friction amplifier for personalised adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated chest harness carabiner attachment for ascent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo included cams for different rope diameters\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;\"\u003eEN 12841 Type B\/C\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;\"\u003eCompatible Rope Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e11.2–13mm (two brake jaws: A 11.2–11.9mm, B 11.9–13mm)\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;\"\u003eRescue Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eApproved for rescue, two persons, single or double rope\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;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e609g\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;\"\u003eService Life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:18px 20px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#111;\"\u003e7 years from first use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCertified Protection Explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEN 12841 Type B\/C\u003c\/strong\u003e certifies the BlackBird for rope adjustment devices used in rope access work — Type B covers ascending devices and Type C covers descending devices on a working line, with the BlackBird combining both functions in one unit.

Built for experienced arborists who prioritise faster movement in the canopy, the Aeris delivers smoother slack tending, quicker limb walks, and rapid yet controlled descents while retaining the Vertec’s original CE certification. Installation takes less than a minute using a 5 mm Allen key, making it an easy workshop or field upgrade for professional climbing systems.
