Product information "SIRIUS"
SIRIUS combines the advantages of the best descenders for industrial and rescue applications into an extremely compact design—for better handling and long-lasting durability. SIRIUS fits perfectly in your hand. Its self-locking lever has a particularly small range of motion, allowing you to work quickly and precisely—and thus more comfortably and safely. During rope loading, which is intuitive and simple, the carabiner on your harness can remain connected to the device. We’ve designed the rope path to protect the rope from twisting and excessive wear. SIRIUS is engineered for continuous use under the harshest conditions. That’s why it’s made entirely of metal—with no vulnerable plastic parts. SIRIUS. Superior handling and exceptional durability in its most compact form.
