Anthron's Lory: basic application principles

This video clip on the use of Anthron's equipment is not exhaustive and is not a substitute for proper training and instruction's manual. Lory is a robust multipurpose device for use in industrial rope access and sport climbing applications. Its functionality spans the range from rope descender and abseiling device to semi-automatic belay and lowering device. Two sub-types of the device exist: LorySAFE with unimpeded movement of the cam (for industrial use) and LorySMART with impeded movement of the cam (for industrial and sport use). By pulling onto the working end of the rope the cam engages and jams the rope. By pulling the lever the cam gradually releases the rope. If the lever is pulled down to its terminal position the double-stop function is triggered which blocks the rope again.
