Safe and simple to use with only one hand!
The BACK-UP is the new KONG fall arrester that follows the operator in both directions and stops all possible falls.
By shifting the special button on the lock mode, it can be used also as a positioning device or a normal locking device.
Due to its special manufacture, the BACKUP can handle the strongest stress (fall factor 2) in semi-dynamic way, and it avoids the shocking effects on the ropes caused by the traditional self-locking devices with toothed cams.
