ART positioning brake BLACKBIRD

Product detailed description

The ART Blackbird is designed to provide maximum comfort and efficiency when working at height. It allows for easy switching between SRT and DRT techniques without the need for tools or removing the rope from the device.

Its thoughtful construction ensures identical descent behavior in both SRT and MRS modes. The device can be fully opened with a push button and is mid-line attachable without needing to disconnect it from the harness.

The integrated swivel ensures optimal alignment of the device during work. The upper attachment point is angled away from the user, making rope insertion easier. A built-in ball-bearing pulley ensures smooth operation even with minimal rope slack. The rotating cam allows for fine-tuned adjustment based on user preferences. Additionally, the device can be connected to a chest harness for a comfortable ascent.

Its compact design and low weight enable easy handling and minimize fatigue during extended use. The device is compatible with various rope types and features intuitive control for smooth and precise positioning.
