AWAH Z3 Series
The AWAH Z3 is an innovative electric lifting and lowering device under the AWAH brand. Both Z3 and Z2 are powered by a drill. Unlike Z2, the Z3 uses a rope-clamping structure, offering smooth and impact-free lowering, similar to traditional descenders. The Z3 series features a self-developed dual self-locking system. In case the ratchet locking system fails, the built-in backup system activates during a fall, significantly enhancing safety.
