Petzl ASAP® Mobile Fall Arrester
Mobile fall arrester for rope
The Petzl ASAP® is a mobile fall arrester designed for professional work at height and rope access applications. During normal use, it moves freely along the rope without manual operation, following the user during vertical, horizontal, or angled movement. In the event of a fall, slide, or uncontrolled descent, the ASAP locks onto the rope and helps stop the user.
Its unique locking system activates even if the device is grabbed during a fall, ensuring reliable backup protection in demanding environments. The ASAP can be used as part of a fall-arrest system or as a backup device in rope access systems.
