Petzl Maestro L Rescue Descenders

Petzl Maestro L Rescue Descenders

Built for technical rescue operations, the Petzl Maestro L Rescue Descenders is a robust descender designed to handle heavy loads with ease.

Ideal for use in both primary systems and backup belays, it offers the versatility rescuers need to adapt quickly in complex and demanding situations.

The MAESTRO L features an ergonomic handle and integrated brake for smooth, controlled descents. Its intelligent design allows for an immediate transition from lowering to hauling without transferring the load. The integrated progress-capture pulley, equipped with a large diameter sheave and sealed ball bearings, delivers outstanding hauling efficiency.

With the AUTO-LOCK system, the rope is automatically secured when the handle is released. The system also allows rope to be taken up without having to touch the handle, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Compatible with 12.5 to 13 mm ropes and capable of handling loads up to 280 kg, the MAESTRO L is a powerful and dependable solution for professional rescue teams.

Features:

• Great versatility, ideal for technical rescue:
  - Locking system with integrated progress-capture pulley allows the same device to be used for descent and hauling
  - Can be used in both a single or twin primary system and in a backup belay (more information on this technique in the Instructions for Use and technical tips at www.petzl.com)
  - Lower connection point can be used to create different types of haul systems
  - Hole in the handle for installation of a remote control cord
• Easy to use:
  - Markings on the device make it easy to install a rope
  - Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released progressively and enables comfortable control of the descent
  - Immediately changes from lowering to hauling without having to transfer the load
  - AUTO-LOCK system allows the rope to be blocked automatically when the handle is not in use; once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle
• Efficient for handling heavy loads:
  - Integrated progress-capture pulley with very large diameter sheave mounted on sealed ball bearings; rotates in only one direction for excellent hauling efficiency
  - Sheave is faceted, creating additional friction zones for the rope and thus additional braking on descents
  - Integrated brake on the device adjusts friction based on the load and rope diameter
  - Can handle loads up to 280 kg
