Kong Back-Up Fall Arrester

Description Kong Back-Up Fall Arrester – Italian One-Hand Mobile Fall Arrest Device The Kong Back-Up is an innovative Italian-made mobile fall arrester that can be operated with one hand — following the operator both upward and downward on the rope, and converting to a positioner or blocker with a simple lever action. Made entirely in Italy to Kong’s demanding standards, it delivers top-tier quality at a highly competitive price point. Key Features The Back-Up is designed for single-handed operation throughout all phases — attachment, ascent, descent, and positional arrest. A lever action converts the device between fall arrest mode and positioner or blocker mode, giving the operator flexibility to adapt to different working configurations without removing or replacing equipment. Compatible with 10 to 12 mm ropes and certified across multiple international standards.
