Petzl Asap Back Up

Introduction

Overview

Mobile fall arrester

With its unique locking system, the ASAP sets the standard in fall protection for workers at height. In normal use, the device moves freely along the rope without any manual intervention and follows the user in all his/her movements. In case of shock or sudden acceleration, the ASAP locks on the rope and stops the user. Depending on use, the ASAP may also be combined with an ASAP’SORBER or ASAP’SORBER AXESS energy absorber to work at a distance from the rope.
