Climbing Technology Sparrow 200R Self Braking Descender 200Kg
Climbing Technology Sparrow 200R Self Braking Descender
The Sparrow 200R is a self braking descender made for heavy loads. The operator can position themselves on the working line, drop onto it, then ascend the same rope, which makes it ideal for assisted or simultaneous lowering of two people in a rescue.
The EBS Extraordinary Braking System gives superior braking, and the multi functional handle with automatic return provides controlled descent while limiting involuntary action. It allows you to unblock the rope without tying off, supports a short ascent, and can be built into a reversible haul system. A braking spur adds friction on the rope during descent without needing an extra connector, and a safety lever on the movable side plate makes it easier to feed the rope in at a re-anchor. It is a rescue descender certified to EN 341:2011-2A with a maximum descent of 180 m, and a rope adjustment device certified to EN 12841:2006-C with a 210 kg work load on EN 1891 type A rope from 10.5 to 11 mm. Under EN 341 the work load depends on the rope: 200 kg on Patron Plus 11, Tec Static Pro 11, Patron 11 and Static 11, and 150 kg on Static Aramid 11. CT state it must be used only with the ropes they list. Browse more ascenders and descenders and the wider rope access range, or pair it with the Skylotec Lory X work positioner.
