AWAH-Z3 is a new type of Power Ascender & Manual Descender that uses an electric drill to provide power. It adopts a rope clamp structure, which is as smooth and impact-free as normal descenders when lowering. The Z3 series features a dual self-locking system — if the ratchet locking device collapses, the built-in backup device quickly activates in case of a fall, greatly increasing safety.
