Petzl ASAP Mobile Fall Arrest Devices

Petzl revolutionised the way back up devices functioned and created a device that combined hands free movement up and down the rope along with minimal deployment time and a predictable arrest distance. Both the ASAP and ASAP-LOCK provide constant fall protection for falls, slides and uncontrolled descents on vertical or angled rope exceeding 2 metres per second. The device is easily installed or removed from any point on the rope and moves freely without any manual intervention and accompanies the user in all his movements. In case of shock or sudden acceleration due to a fall, the device locks on the rope and stops the user, even if grabbed during a fall. Petzl’s design team continued to watch how people work at height and noted the evolving techniques that are allowing workers to overcome new access challenges. The toothed wheel is effective in a variety of rope conditions, such as frozen or dirty ropes.

The ASAP can be used as a primary belay device in a fall-arrest system or as a back-up belay in a rope access system. It may also be combined with an ASAP’SORBER (for use with a single user up to 140 kg) or ASAP'SORBER AXESS energy absorbing lanyard to work at a distance from the rope. The latter can be used for loads of up to 250 kg in two-person rescue situations.

Building on the ASAP core features, the ASAP-LOCK includes an integrated locking function allowing the user to immobilise the device to reduce the length of a fall. In case of a strong wind, this function also prevents the rope from being blown upward. The connection arm of the ASAP-LOCK makes the system drop-resistant when passing intermediate anchors.​ ASAP LOCK can be used as a back-up belay device in a rope access system or as a primary belay device in a fall-arrest system.The ASAP LOCK is also available in pre-assembled kits for a ready-to-use solution, with ASAP’SORBER AXESS or ASAP’SORBER and OK TRIACT-LOCK or Bm’D TRIACT-LOCK connectors.
