PETZL ZIGZAG PLUS – Mechanical Prusik with High-Efficiency Swivel for Tree Care

Experience enhanced efficiency and fluidity in your tree climbing with the PETZL ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusik. This advanced device is designed for tree care professionals across the UK, allowing you to move around a tree efficiently using classic Prusik pulley system techniques, now with the added benefit of a high-efficiency swivel.

The core of the ZIGZAG PLUS's performance lies in its friction chain, which provides exceptional precision and fluidity when moving around. This ensures controlled and smooth descents and ascents. The integrated pulley is mounted on sealed ball bearings, which facilitates easy slack taking and ensures excellent efficiency during all rope manoeuvres.

A key advantage of the ZIGZAG PLUS is its great versatility: it can be used effectively on either doubled ropes or a single rope, adapting to various climbing techniques and setups. The most significant upgrade in the "PLUS" version is the lower attachment hole with a high-efficiency swivel. This innovative feature ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik, preventing twisting, and guarantees optimal rope glide through the device for even smoother and more efficient movement in the canopy

Key Features

• Intuitive to use:
  - technique identical to classic Prusik pulley system
  - the device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends
  
• For efficient movement within the tree:
  - rope feed is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever, allowing the user great control over his/her movements. Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement
  - easy to take up slack, thanks to the pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings and the separated and curved side plates
  - lower attachment hole with high-efficiency swivel ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device
  
• Versatile:
  - for use on either doubled ropes or a single rope, thanks to the CHICANE accessory, which offers more friction on the descent, and the KNEE ASCENT assemblies, which facilitate the ascent
  - upper attachment hole for the rope end when using a doubled rope or for the CHICANE auxiliary braking device when using a single rope. It has a flexible positioning ring that helps keep the connector oriented along its major axis
  - auxiliary attachment hole for adding a ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system
  
• Durability:
  - steel construction for improved durability
  - separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance
  
• Rope compatibility: 11.5 to 13 mm diameter
  
• ZIGZAG PLUS allows the user to work in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard
