It works in a stationary rope system without an auxiliary brake and can also be used in a moving rope system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for demanding conditions in the canopy, it helps limit wear and is repairable with a repair kit, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpenable design for easy midline attachment, even while connected to your harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStationary rope use without additional friction, plus moving rope use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth, precise rope feed from a release lever and a wide pulley on sealed ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepairable: the upper part of the friction chain can be replaced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy Midline Attachment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can attach the ZigZag Shift mid-rope while it is connected to your harness, which gives you freedom and ease of movement in the canopy. The opening side plate and friction chain design lets you install the rope in a spiral motion, and the upper link with its two-piece lever keeps the rope inside the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIntuitive Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shift uses the same technique as a Prusik with a friction chain like the ZigZag, so it feels familiar quickly. The friction chain gives smooth, precise movement between branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe release lever gives smooth, precise rope feed as you move along the rope.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wide pulley on sealed ball bearings makes it easy to take up slack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou control your speed by adjusting the pressure on the lever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe device blocks on the rope when the friction chain extends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fixed lower attachment point aligns the system and suits left- or right-handed use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVersatile Rope Systems\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a stationary rope system the Shift needs no additional friction, giving a simple, compact progress system. The upper attachment point for the end of the rope lets you use it in a doubled rope system. For long descents or heavy loads, you can add the Chicane auxiliary brake for more control and comfort. The auxiliary attachment point connects a second system, shoulder straps, or an SRS chest harness for ascending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDurable and Repairable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe components that see the most wear are made from steel, and the separated, curved side plates resist wear better. When the friction chain wears, you can replace its upper part with a repair kit, sold separately, to extend the usable life of the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications in Brief\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZigZag Shift takes ropes from 11 mm to 12 mm in diameter and has a working load limit of 140 kg. It is made from aluminium, plastic, stainless steel and steel, and is tested to ANSI Z133 (the American safety standard for arboricultural operations) and CE (conformity with the applicable European safety requirements).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete your kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/products\/petzl-chicane-and-zigzag-mechanical-prusik-climbing-kit\"\u003ePetzl Chicane and Zigzag Climbing Kit\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eCompare with:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/products\/petzl-zigzag-plus-mechanical-prusik\"\u003ePetzl Zigzag Plus\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/products\/petzl-zigzag-mechanical-prusik\"\u003ePetzl Zigzag\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso Known As\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetzl ZigZag Shift, ZigZag Shift, Shift mechanical prusik, Petzl Shift friction device\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo I need an auxiliary brake on single rope?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. In a stationary rope system the Shift works without additional friction.
