Naja friction saver leads Petzl’s updated lineup

With four adjustment positions to adapt to different branch diameters, the Naja comes supplied with a 1.5 m high-visibility yellow strap, and work can be carried out on larger trees by replacing or linking the strap to another 1.5 or 2.5 m strap. Weighing just 400 g, the product has a breaking strength of 25 kN.

A press release added: “Rope ascents and movement in the tree are optimised with the high-efficiency pulley, which facilitates rope glide at the anchor. The included retrieval ball makes the system easily retrievable from the ground.” 

Elsewhere, Petzl’s 2023 lineup for arborists includes a range of toolbags – from 1.5 to six litres – and an extendable drop-prevention tether (Tooleash) for tools weighing up to 5 kg. 

Meanwhile, several ultra-compact and versatile ARIA headlamps are noted as the “most exciting addition” to Petzl’s offering. The Aria 2R and 1R are available in a standard battery or rechargeable battery version. 

The press release stated: “Accessing the inaccessible is a routine requirement for most professionals who use our products. And it’s an honour for Petzl to contribute to their work.
