Jail Brake 7R Standard
The Jail Brake is a floating, friction-based lowering device for use in the tree industry. Its innovative design eliminates the problems that come with using a typical cylindrical-style lowering device like the Port-a-Wrap.
NO MORE ROPE TWISTS: By eliminating the wrapping of the rope around a cylinder, the Jail Brake doesn't produce hockles, rope twists, or kinks. This saves your groundsman time and you money.
SAVE YOUR ROPE: Aluminum construction with engineered venting means the device is one of the most efficient at drawing heat away from your rope. Load isn't concentrated on one part of the device, which means your rope isn't generating nearly as much heat or wear on your equipment.
EASY TO USE AND TEACH YOUR NEW GUYS: No hidden cleats or confusing rope path. Simply make sure the rope is through the top pigtail, around the bottom rung, and out through the bottom pigtail. Easy to see even from up in a tree.
