Okay, so the operation that we did here was a high angle pick-off. And what we do is, we start with our double-long tail bowline. So we approach the victim, we take one of the tails and secure that to their second point of attachment on their harness. At that point we need to unweight …

The Petzl REEVE carriage pulley and some of its common uses. The REEVE is made from two high-efficiency pulleys mounted onto a rigging plate. This design simplifies setting up rescue systems on a highline by reducing the amount of equipment needed as well as reducing the overall height of the system. The pulleys open on …
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW PETZL PULLEYS & WHY YOUR TEAM WILL WANT THEM After the SPIN L1 models last year, in 2022, the range of pulleys continues to expand with the arrival of the SPIN S1 and the SPIN S1 OPEN. And of course we can’t forget the REEVE, a combination …

Installed on a safety rope, mobile fall arresters follow the user automatically as they move, whether on an inclined or vertical surface. In the event of a shock load or sudden acceleration, they lock onto the rope and stop the fall. For years, the ASAP and ASAP LOCK models have set the standard for those …
When we developed ideas into courses, we considered many things. Yes, we went through the SWOT analysis as well. Know this will get you What, Where, When, and How! Strengths Opportunities Weaknesses Threats I will let you reference this, however we went through all 4 elements before we engineered, designed, went to production and released …
PETZL MAESTRO (Small and Large) is a descender designed for technical rescue operations. It facilitates the manipulation of heavy loads, for lowering or hauling, and may be used in both the primary system or in a back-up belay. This versatility allows rescuers to adapt to any situation they may encounter on the rescue scene. The …

The PETZL MAESTRO is a descent control device with an integral progress capture pulley for technical rescues. Additional MAESTRO benefits include: Shifting from a haul to lower is immediate and efficient without having to transfer the load Can efficiently haul and lower heavy loads Serve as the primary or back-up system A small hole on …
From Gear In Use: Technical Rescue ~ 5.1 Drop loop haul on the MAESTRO for urgent rescue In certain cases of extreme urgency requiring a very rapid response, the rescuer can access the victim by descending on one rope. Once the emergency has been addressed, upward evacuation can be done at a “normal” level of …
There can be a big difference between the theoretical efficiency of a pulley system and its actual efficiency. Here are test results from the Petzl lab. From Gear In Use 4: Rope Access and Confined Space 1. Efficiency depending on the device used at the head of the system. The force required to raise a …

MAESTRO and I’D allow for efficient hauling, releasing the lock at any time and a controlled lower of the load. The two devices have different ergonomics and different specifications (working load and efficiency). Hauling The MAESTRO’s efficiency enables effective use of simple pulley systems. If a complex pulley system is needed to increase efficiency, it …
