Discover the Petzl MAESTRO S Descender for Rescues

Petzl MAESTRO S Descender

Expertly engineered for technical rescue operations, the Petzl MAESTRO S Descender offers unparalleled versatility for handling heavy loads. Whether used for lowering or hauling, it performs seamlessly as part of a primary system or backup belay and empowers rescuers to adapt to a wide range of challenging scenarios.

The Petzl MAESTRO S promises smooth, precise control during descents. Transitioning between lowering and hauling modes is quick and effortless while eliminating the need to transfer the load. Its integrated progress-capture pulley, featuring a large-diameter sheave on sealed ball bearings, delivers exceptional hauling efficiency.

The AUTO-LOCK system enhances safety by automatically securing the rope whenever the handle is not engaged. Once locked, the rope can be reeled in without additional adjustments. Designed for ropes ranging from 10.5 to 11.5 mm in diameter, the Petzl MAESTRO S Descender can manage loads of up to 250 kg, making it an indispensable tool for demanding rescue scenarios.

Features:

• 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 back-up belay
• Lower connection point can be used to create different types of hauling systems
• Hole in the handle for installation of a distance control cord

Easy to Use:

• Easy rope installation, thanks to the markings on the device
• Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released progressively and enables comfortable control of the descent
• Immediate shift from lowering position to hauling position 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 to adjust the friction based on the load and the rope diameter
• Handling of loads up to 250kg
