The Petzl I'D® EVAC Self-Braking Descender is engineered for efficient lowering operations directly from an anchor point. Its ergonomic handle is specifically designed to manage loads from the anchor, providing comfortable and precise descent control. The device incorporates several safety features, including an anti-panic function and an anti-error catch, to minimize the risk of accidents due to user error. The AUTO-LOCK system enables automatic rope locking without manual intervention, facilitating easy retrieval of the rope once locked. Additionally, the safety gate allows for straightforward rope installation while the device remains connected to the anchor. The I'D® EVAC is compatible with ropes ranging from 10 to 11.5 mm in diameter and supports loads up to 250 kg.
