Maestro® l descender - Petzl

The Maestro ® L is designed for technical rescue operations, the integrated pulley allows the use for loads up to 280 kg. It facilitates the handling of heavy loads, both downhill and hoisting, and can be used both as a main system or as a back - up. This versatility allows rescuers to adapt to all configurations that may be encountered at the intervention site. The ergonomic handle and the integrated brake allow you to comfortably control the descent. The passage from the lowering position to the hoisting position is immediate, without having to take up the load again. The integrated progress capture pulley, with very large diameter sheave on sealed ball bearings, ensures excellent hoisting performance. The Auto - Lock system automatically locks the rope when the handle is not in use. Once blocked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. - Great versatility of use, ideal for technical rescues: Blocking system with integrated progress - capture pulley allowing use of the same device for lowering and hoisting, Can be used both as a single or double main system and as a counter - belaying, Lower connection point allowing different types of hauling to be carried out, Hole in the handle allowing the installation of a remote control cord. - Ease and simplicity of use: Easy installation of the rope, thanks to the markings indicated on the device, Ergonomic handle allowing progressive release of the rope and comfortable control of the descent, Immediate passage from the descent to the hoisting position, without having to take the load back, Auto - Lock system allowing the rope to be automatically locked when the handle is not in use. Once blocked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. - Efficiency when handling heavy loads: Integrated progress capture pulley, with very large diameter sheave on sealed ball bearings, with a single direction of rotation providing excellent hoisting efficiency, Faceted sheave allowing the addition of friction zones with the rope for additional braking on descent, Brake integrated into the device to modulate friction according to the load and the diameter of the rope, Handling of heavy loads up to 280 kg.
