TAZ - LOV2

The TAZ LOV2 is a multi-function rope-access device for work-at-height professionals. It is designed for use as a self-locking descender and mobile fall-arrest device on compatible semi-static ropes, with a straight rope path and locking sheave mechanism that grips the rope under load when correctly orientated.

For professional rope access, the LOV2 is useful where technicians need controlled descent, backup function and movement on vertical, tensioned or diagonal rope systems. It can be used as a Type A safety device or as a Type C working descender, provided it is used within the correct two-rope system and in accordance with the manufacturer’s technical notice. When used as a Type A device it must be backed up with an appropriate work or positioning system, and when used as a Type C descender it must be used with a separate Type A backup device on another rope.

The straight rope path also allows the device to be installed on a weighted rope without threading the full rope length through the device, which can be useful during rope-access setup, rescue planning and work-positioning transitions.

It might even come in useful if you are an avid climber wanting an option for top rope soloing, although this should only be done after checking the manufacturers guidelines!
