Rock Exotica DownRigger Aerial Friction Device
The Rock Exotica DownRigger is an aerial friction device, used for lowering limbs quickly and efficiently. With its light weight and compact size, it can be connected and operated overhead, or at the base of the rigging system.
The DownRigger applies friction to the rigging line when weighted by the load, allowing the operator to control the descent by hand. Unweighted, the line pulls easily back through the device to reset the system. The DownRigger features the well-known Rock Exotica swivel top that allows for easy alignment with the load, and the double-locking side plate that makes rope installation more efficient.Details

It has its place
It's a great option to lower moderate loads with minimal setup, quick climb for a reduction or hanger. Inexperienced grounding or self lower while waiting. We intend to use it in combination with main rigging for multiple points and butt control on limb lifts. I'm glad to have it's options to keep speed and safety together.
