Sliding fall arrest device for rope, pin-free and with LOCK function
An indispensable component in your fall protection system, the ASAP LOCK accompanies you in your daily work with ropes in difficult accesses. Under normal use, during your rope movements, the device moves freely without needing to be handled. In the event of a fall or uncontrolled descent (more than two meters per second), the device locks onto the rope and stops you. The integrated LOCK function allows you to immobilize the device to reduce your fall height. The connection arm facilitates the passage of fractions, making your system pin-free, and the triggers simplify the installation of the rope. To tackle rescue situations, the ASAP LOCK is used in combination with the ASAP’SORBER AXESS energy absorber.

The PETZL ASAP LOCK FALL ARREST DEVICE is more than just a safety device; it is an essential tool for professionals working in high-risk environments. Its compact and lightweight design means it does not add unnecessary weight to the user's equipment, but its robustness ensures its durability in extreme conditions. Made of high-quality aluminum and stainless steel, this device is prepared to withstand the elements and daily wear and tear.
One of the most notable features of the ASAP LOCK is its ability to stop falls quickly, regardless of speed. This is achieved through a gear technology that ensures a firm and effective grip on the rope. This functionality is crucial, as falls in a work environment can be unexpected and dangerous. Moreover, its efficiency is maintained even in adverse conditions such as icy or muddy ropes, ensuring the user's safety at all times.
The installation system of the ASAP LOCK is intuitive, allowing users to easily adjust its position on the rope without the need for additional tools. This ease of use is a significant advantage in emergency situations or when every second counts. The opening triggers are designed to facilitate the installation and removal, enhancing the equipment’s functionality during quick operations and could make a difference in critical situations.
Additionally, the ASAP LOCK can be used in combination with various energy absorbers, such as the ASAP’SORBER AXESS for rescues involving multiple people, which expands its usage possibilities and makes it an adaptable component for different work scenarios. This versatility in application allows professionals to customize their equipment according to the specific demands of each task.
Finally, the integrated LOCK function is a key feature that not only helps to reduce the height of a fall but also prevents the rope from sagging in strong winds. This additional functionality ensures that workers can focus on their tasks without worrying about their safety systems, adding an extra level of confidence in using the device.
