Use with ropes according to EN 1891, 11-13 mm.Ready for use with just one carabiner
Attachment of the Spiderjack to the harness and securing the termination requires only one carabiner. This makes your whole climbing system very compact, plus the hand-over-hand movement becomes really efficient.
Extremely smooth rope passage even when under load. As soon as you pull the line above the device the Spiderjack turns from locking into running position. This allows for two-handed as well as single-handed ascent or adjusting of work positioning even when there is little rope weight below to speed up the rope run. Self-tending at it's best!
Ergonomic release combined with line control The ergonomically designed release lever of the Spiderjack features a groove on its inner side giving a redirection of rope. This way the climber‘s hands will not be affected by rope friction at all.
Thumb brake allows for precise control of movement Some practice with the unique thumb brake will facilitate a very precise control of rope passage – from extremely slow to extremely fast. Trained experts really enjoy the Spiderjack induced high-speed precision landings. Of course the brake system works just as well in „normal“ use. The brake pad is made of Guajak wood (guaiacum), a very hard wood, friction resistant and extremely durable.
NOTE
Using the Spiderjack requires wearing a harness with a low attachment point. The lower the Spiderjack is attached, the longer are the arm pull movements.
The Spiderjack has no panic-function! Therefore it is necessary to follow user instructions especially in the learning phase!
