Petzl Zigzag – PET048/2
The Petzl ZIGZAG PLUS Mechanical Prusik gives arborists smooth and precise control while climbing. It mirrors the feel of a traditional Prusik system but adds modern efficiency and durability. This makes it a trusted choice for professional tree work.
The device uses a steel friction chain to deliver fluid movement through the canopy. It grips the rope instantly when weighted, which increases safety and confidence during positioning. You can move freely while maintaining full control.
A responsive release lever lets you control your descent with precision. Apply light pressure for slow movement or increase pressure for faster descent. This gives you accurate positioning at all times.
The integrated pulley improves efficiency when moving through the tree. It runs on sealed ball bearings, so you can take up slack quickly and with minimal effort. This reduces fatigue during long climbs.
A built-in swivel keeps the device correctly aligned. It prevents rope twisting and improves rope glide. This creates a smoother and more stable climbing experience.
You can use the ZIGZAG PLUS with both doubled rope (DdRT) and single rope (SRT) systems. Pair it with the Petzl CHICANE to add friction for SRT climbing. You can also use it with knee ascender systems to make climbing easier.
The device includes multiple attachment points for added versatility. Use the upper hole for rope connection or CHICANE integration. The flexible ring helps keep your carabiner aligned. The auxiliary hole allows you to attach a lanyard like the Petzl ZILLON or add a second system.
Petzl builds the ZIGZAG PLUS with aluminium, steel, and nylon. This combination delivers strength without adding unnecessary weight. The device weighs just 425 grams, so it stays light on your harness.
The ZIGZAG PLUS works with 11.5 mm to 13 mm EN 1891 Type A ropes. It supports a working load limit of 140 kg. It meets CE certification and complies with ANSI Z133 standards.
Choose the Petzl ZIGZAG PLUS if you want smooth operation, reliable control, and long-term durability. It performs well in pruning, dismantling, and general tree maintenance.
