Descent Devices

Descent Devices

A descent device is a mechanical device which provides a means of controlled lowering on a synthetic rope for rescue and rope access work positioning. Generally, the rope is fed through or around a descender to create friction which can be controlled by the user to vary their descent speed and position. Descent devices come in a range of different styles and sizes. With descent devices from manufacturers like Petzl, ISC, WestFall Pro, DBI Sala, and more - we’ve got the equipment you need to help you descend safely.
