Petzl works together with professionals to improve, update and upgrade the equipment and safety techniques used in offshore work environments and conditions, including solutions and techniques for work-at-height and difficult-access rescue. Equipment range includes harnesses, helmets, rope clamps, tool holders and descenders.
NEWTON FAST - FALL ARREST HARNESS
Harness for protection from falls from height fitted with two EN 361 attachment points, on the chest and the back. The Newton Fast is suitable for non-suspended work at height. Features include:
- Forms a modular system with accessories: PAD work positioning belt, LIFT spreader, and JAK jacket
- Very easy to put on: upper and lower parts distinguished by different colours
- Comfortable to wear (due to the light weight and flexibility of the webbing)
- Rapid adjustment with four self-locking DoubleBack buckles
- Easy clipping of attachment points: chest attachment point of stitched rope loops and rear attachment point of aluminium with curved shape
- Two attachment points for the LIFT spreader
CARITOOL - TOOL HOLDER FOR HARNESS ATTACHMENT
A carabineer-shaped tool holder designed to organise gear attached to a harness. Features include:
- Ice-screws, pitons, cams, as well as small tools, can be arranged and accessed single- handily
- Slips easily onto the harness waist belt
- The clip on the inside of the carabineer helps stabilize its position on the harness
- The shape of the carabineer allows for easy organisation of gear
- There is a small hole at the top for attaching a keeper cord, to help prevent dropping critical gear
- Strong and lightweight
ASCENSION - HANDLED ROPE CLAMP / GRAB IN LEFT AND RIGHT HANDED VERSIONS
Designed for ascending fixed single ropes from 8mm to 13mm. Features include:
- User-friendly handled rope clamp / grab
- High performance device: toothed cam in chrome steel for optimal hold as well as optimal sliding up the rope
- Two lower holes for the attachment of a foot loop using a maillon and for attachment of a lanyard
- Two upper holes allow a carabineer to be clipped around the rope: easier sliding up the rope when used for self-belaying, use in hauling systems.
- Two colours for easy recognition of right-handed and left-handed versions
I'D - SELF-BRAKING DESCENDER AND BELAY DEVICE FOR SINGLE ROPE
For descending a rope and for belaying, with an anti-panic function. Features include:
Swinging side plate with safety catch:
- Decreases risk of dropping device
- Allows rapid installation of the rope into the device
- Increases efficiency when passing intermediate anchor points
Increased safety:
- Anti-error feature to help avoid accidents due to incorrect installation of the rope in the device
- Self-braking system: if the handle is released during descent, the cam rotates to pinch the rope and brake the user's descent
- Anti-panic handle: the I'D® will lock onto the rope if the user pulls too hard on the handle
Comfortable to use:
- To descend, simply pull on the handle; the rate of descent is controlled by varying the grip on the free end of the rope with the other hand
- For work positioning, the handle can be rotated to secure the I'D® in place on the rope, thus eliminating the need to "tie off" the device
- Ascending the rope is possible without changing the position of the device: simply add a footloop and a handled rope clamp / grab
- May be used to belay a leader or a second
May be used as a progress capture device in a haul system; allows rapid conversion between raising and lowering.
Technical specifications:
- Individually tested
- For rope diameters from 10mm - 11.5mm: #D20 S
- For rope diameters from 11.5mm - 13mm: #D20 L
- Weight: 530g
