The AUTO-LOCK system automatically locks the rope when the handle is not in use. Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. The MAESTRO S descender is compatible with 12.5mm - 13 mm ropes and allows handling of loads up to 280 kg.
- For use on rope 12.5mm to 13mm
- Maximum working load: 617 lbs (280 kg)
- 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
- 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
- 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
