The self-braking RIG descender is designed for difficult-access work and rescue professionals. It allows the user to

access the work station and then easily position himself by using the handle to lock the device in place on the rope. Easy to grasp, this descender is intuitive and comfortable to use. With its innovative and compact design, the RIG offers a simple, efficient alternative to traditional descenders.
