Petzl I’D® L Self-Braking Descender

The Petzl I’D® L Self-Braking Descender is a specialized device designed primarily for technical rescue operations. It offers enhanced safety features, ergonomic design, and versatile functionality to meet the demands of rescue professionals.

• Ergonomic Handle: Facilitates comfortable control of descent speed and allows for smooth movement along inclined or horizontal terrain.
• Anti-Panic Function: Automatically stops the descent if the user pulls too hard on the handle, reducing the risk of accidents due to user error.
• Anti-Error Catch: Helps prevent incorrect installation of the device on the rope, further enhancing safety.
• AUTO-LOCK System: Enables users to position themselves at a workstation without manipulating the handle or tying off the device; releasing the handle automatically locks the rope in place.
• Safety Gate: Allows for easy rope installation while the device remains connected to the harness, streamlining setup.
• Versatile Descent Modes: Offers two descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel, providing flexibility based on user preference and situation.
• Stainless Steel Wear Plate: Enhances durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone, extending the device's lifespan.
• Handle Storage Position: Automatically returns to a storage position when the rope is removed, reducing the risk of accidental snagging when the descender is carried on the harness.
