The Petzl Rig Descender is a compact, self-braking descender for use in rope access by experienced users. It features an ergonomic handle that allows for a comfortable descent control and its auto-lock system allows users to easily position themselves at the work station, without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. The safety gate allows the rope to be installed with the device remaining connected to the harness.

The CMC Clutch is the latest evolution in rescue and rope access hardware. This device was designed and engineered in collaboration by two companies with a collective 90 year history in rope management under heavy loads.

The CMC Multi-Purpose Descent Control Pulley allows you to go from lowering to raising without changing hardware. The MPD’s high-efficiency pulley, with an integral rope-grab mechanism, allows it to be used as a lowering device on the main line and belay line systems and be quickly changed over to a raising system without switching out or replacing hardware.

The Megawatt is the new universal descender from Edelrid, it's intuitive and reliable with a wide range of potential uses when working with ropes and in rescue scenarios. Edelrid have focused on keeping compact dimensions and a low weight during the development of this descender, and it fulfils four important work safety standards. The lever itself is made of a two-component material with rubber inserts for maximum grip. The integrated anti-panic function significantly reduces the risk of an accident in the event of a loss of control.

The ISC D4 Work/Rescue Descender is a double-stop device with an auto-lock function and a panic brake which is not overly sensitive in normal use.

The Petzl I'D descender is a self braking descender with an anti-panic function for work at height and rope access work. It has an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. The integrated anti-panic function and anti-error catch limit the risk of an accident due to user error.
