{"product_id":"petzl-zigzag","title":"Petzl ZigZag","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePetzl ZigZag\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Petzl ZigZag is a mechanical Prusik designed to support efficient, controlled movement when working in the tree canopy. Built around the familiar principles of a classic Prusik pulley system, it allows arborists to climb, reposition, and work with precision while benefiting from mechanical consistency. The friction chain delivers smooth, fluid rope control, supporting confident movement during both ascent and work positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFamiliar Prusik technique with mechanical consistency \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZigZag operates using a technique identical to a traditional Prusik pulley system, making it intuitive for experienced climbers to adopt. As the friction chain extends, the device locks automatically on the rope, providing immediate and reliable grip. This predictable behaviour supports confident positioning and controlled transitions when moving through the canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSmooth rope handling and stable alignment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRope feed is smooth and precise, with speed regulated by the release lever, allowing the climber to fine-tune movement with controlled pressure. A pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings makes taking up slack efficient and reduces effort during repeated adjustments. The separated and curved side plates improve rope flow and durability, while the fixed lower attachment hole keeps the device aligned with the axis of the climber, helping optimise grip and stability during work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVersatile use across climbing systems\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZigZag can be used on doubled rope systems or adapted for single rope techniques when combined with compatible accessories. An upper attachment hole supports correct rope end positioning on doubled rope setups or connection of an auxiliary braking device for single rope use. A flexible positioning ring helps keep connectors aligned along their major axis, while an additional attachment hole allows integration of a lanyard or secondary system, supporting adaptable and efficient work configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Prusik using classic Prusik pulley system technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction chain delivers smooth and precise movement control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic locking as the friction chain extends on the rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease lever allows controlled adjustment of movement speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed ball bearing pulley supports easy slack management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed lower attachment hole maintains alignment with the climber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with doubled rope and single rope configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuxiliary attachment hole supports lanyard or second system use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for ropes between 11.5 mm and 13 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCE certified and compliant with ANSI Z133 tree care standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"0763669f-eebe-4d1f-b0f2-f2372f533390\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-231\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"db9f2530-9a6a-4fed-8520-e471eb25eb04\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"71\" data-end=\"134\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eWorking load limit of 140 kg supports professional climbing use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Petzl","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52574143185239,"sku":"D022AA00","price":168.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0785\/8263\/files\/Petzl-ZigZag.jpg?v=1768802037","url":"https:\/\/treeworker.com\/products\/petzl-zigzag","provider":"www.treeworker.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
