Spinlock ZS Jammer
Technical details
Producer: Spinlock (UK)

High load jammers are recommended for bigger rope diameters and extreme loads. They require re-winching before release: a major safety feature. In Carbon and Alloy versions the largest ZS jammer now holds loads up to 12000kgs on 32mm lines.

ZS Alloy - High load jammers take lines from 8mm through to 18mm and loads to 4000kgs. With their minimal rope wear great for lines continuously under high load.

ZS Carbon - High load Carbon bodied jammers for a wide range of lines up to 32mm and 12000kgs. These hold very high loads whilst benefiting from the massive weight savings of carbon fibre.

ZS Open - The mobile version of the ZS jammer can be moved to any point on deck to secure an already loaded line. The ZS Open is an excellent safety device for any larger yacht where a spare winch may not always be available in an emergency.
