The Petzl ASAP® is an essential compact mobile fall arrester designed for reliable safety during work at height and rope access operations. Operating hands-free during normal movement, the device trails smoothly along the rope, eliminating manual adjustments. In the event of a shock load, rapid descent, or panic grab exceeding two meters per second, its specialized toothed wheel immediately locks onto the rope to arrest the fall. Built to perform on vertical, angled, or horizontal lifelines—even on dirty or frozen ropes—the ASAP® easily installs at any point on 10 to 13 mm ropes and pairs seamlessly with ASAP’SORBER energy absorbers for single-worker or two-person rescue applications.

• Hands-Free Trailing & Instant Arrest: Follows the user smoothly during movement and locks automatically on the rope if descent speed exceeds 2 m/s or if grabbed during a panic reaction.

• All-Condition Toothed Wheel: Integrated stainless steel toothed wheel ensures positive lockup even on muddy, wet, or frozen ropes.

• Easy Mid-Line Installation: Simple, compact design allows quick attachment and detachment at any point along the rope line.

• Versatile Orientation & System Compatibility: Functions on vertical, horizontal, or angled lifelines (10 to 13 mm) as a primary belay or backup fall-arrest system.

• Rescue & Energy Absorber Ready: Pairs with ASAP’SORBER energy absorbers for single users up to 140 kg or two-person rescue loads up to 250 kg with the AXESS model.
