The mechanical ZIGZAG prussic allows users to move efficiently in the tree crown.
A tool designed specifically for arborists to move in the crown of a tree.

- The technique is the same as the traditional prusik hoist system.
- The device is blocked immediately as soon as the friction chain is stretched.
- The spring-loaded release lever guarantees precise and sensitive rope blocking/releasing control. By changing the pressure on this lever, the rappelling speed is regulated.
- The friction segments progressively block the rope and allow precise and smooth movement in the crown.
- Integrated pulley with encapsulated ball bearing facilitates easy rope retrieval. Widely spaced sidewalls also allow for smooth passage of the rope.
- The bottom attachment hole is fixed to ensure alignment with the user's axis and optimize grip.
- Can be used for single-rope and double-rope techniques, offers excellent versatility.
- Used on all-purpose construction for better durability.
- Maximum permitted working load 140 kg
- Rope compatibility: diameter 11.5 to 13 mm
