Grip Descender

Model PN401 · Karam

Overview

The PN401 Grip Descender is designed to give users controlled and confident movement during rope-based tasks. The device works by threading the rope through the clamp and engaging the cam mechanism with a simple push of the spring or lever. Once activated, it grips the rope firmly and prevents any unwanted slipping. Its self-braking action automatically activates when the handle is released or clasped too tightly, adding an extra layer of safety.
