Product information & specifications
Petzl ZigZag Plus Mechanical Prusik
Experience enhanced efficiency and fluidity in your tree climbing with the Petzl ZigZag Plus mechanical Prusik. Designed for tree care professionals across the UK, it lets you move around a tree efficiently using classic Prusik pulley system technique, with the added benefit of a high-efficiency swivel at the lower attachment hole.
The friction chain at the core of the ZigZag Plus provides precise, fluid control when moving through the canopy, while the pulley — mounted on sealed ball bearings — makes slack-taking effortless. It's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Petzl dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
Key Features & Benefits
- Intuitive Prusik-style technique — the device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends
- Smooth, precise rope feed via the release lever, giving full control over ascent and descent speed
- Effortless slack-taking thanks to the sealed ball-bearing pulley and separated, curved side plates
- High-efficiency swivel at the lower attachment hole prevents twisting and keeps the device correctly positioned
- Doubled-rope or single-rope use — pairs with the CHICANE accessory for extra descent friction, or KNEE ASCENT assemblies for ascending
- Steel construction with curved side plates for durability and wear resistance
- Compliant with the ANSI Z133 arborist safety standard
Technical Details
Why Choose the Petzl ZigZag Plus?
Petzl is the reference brand in rope access and tree care equipment, and the ZigZag has been the industry-standard mechanical Prusik for arborists worldwide since its original release — the "Plus" version refines it further with the added swivel. Where a traditional Prusik knot needs manual dressing and can slip or bind unpredictably, the ZigZag Plus's friction chain locks automatically and glides smoothly, so you spend less time managing the hitch and more time working.
Choose the ZigZag Plus over a standard ZigZag when twisting and misalignment on the lower attachment point has been a problem for you — the high-efficiency swivel is the main upgrade and resolves this directly.
Pairs Well With
Add the Petzl CHICANE auxiliary brake for extra descent control on single-rope setups, or save by choosing the Petzl Chicane and ZigZag Mechanical Prusik Climbing Kit bundle if you need both together.
