PETZL Rack Variable Friction Descender with Brake Bars - Silver

• VARIABLE FRICTION: Allows the user to adjust the amount of friction during the descent by swinging brake bars into or out of the rope path; ideal for changing loads or rope conditions.
• HEAT DISSIPATION: Distributes friction and heat over multiple bars, significantly reducing the risk of rope glazing or melting during long, fast rappels.
• EASY ROPE INSTALLATION: The swinging side plate allows for easy installation of the rope without disconnecting the device from the harness, reducing the risk of dropping it.
• LONG LIFE SPAN: Designed with replaceable brake bars; simply replace the worn bars rather than the entire device to extend its service life.
• CAVING & RESCUE STANDARD: The preferred descender for cavers and rescue professionals who need precise control on muddy, wet, or stiff ropes. Rope Compatibility: 9 to 13 mm.
