Petzl Professional Mobile Fall Arresters
In this category you will find guided type fall arresters for different applications. The fall arresters allow a quick installation on the rope and follow the movements on the rope without manual intervention. The guided type fall arresters are used for fall protection during work at height in order to mitigate a possible fall to the maximum. The suitability of the devices ranges from sport climbing and light work at height to work at heights that are difficult to access, e.g. for industrial climbers.
Matching ropes and fall arrestors to complete the maximum protection can also be found in this category.
