Product information & specifications
PETZL CHICANE — Auxiliary Brake for Single Rope Tree Care with ZIGZAG
The PETZL CHICANE is an auxiliary braking device that allows ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks to be used on single ropes, providing crucial additional friction for a more controlled descent.
It's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Petzl dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
When paired with a ZIGZAG or ZIGZAG PLUS, the CHICANE provides continuous additional friction on descents, giving arborists finer control over speed and position. The excellent compatibility of the CHICANE and mechanical Prusik as an assembled unit ensures smooth rope glide through the brake during ascents, preventing snagging and maintaining efficiency during upward movement. An ergonomic handle offers excellent grip and facilitates movement, particularly when limb walking, and an openable side plate makes installation on the rope quick and easy.
Key Features & Benefits
- Allows ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS to be used on single ropes
- Continuous additional braking via two friction pins
- Used with an Am'D or OK connector (not included)
- Ergonomic handle facilitates limb walking
- Openable side plate with triple-action unlocking for easy, secure installation
- Friction pins available as replaceable spare parts
- Enables use in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard
