Edelrid FUSE Rope Access Back-up Device

Posted on Apr 20, 2023 By HD Sales Team

Looking for ultra smooth movement up-and-down the ropes - plus maximum safety on-the-job? Then check out this new and unique back-up device combo from Edelrid. It's just landed and available to buy online and in-store now.

This is one dynamic duo you can't refuse

FUSE Fall Arrester

This smooth operator raises the bar for mobile fall arresters, meets more safety standards and is approved for both vertical and horizontal application

Rescue DEFUSER

Made for heavy loads (and for exclusive use with the FUSE), this compact energy absorber reduces maximum arrest shock to 30% below the standard

So many reasons to choose a FUSE

	Integrated centrifugal brake for super-smooth movement — even with a payload up to 140kg
	It's safer and more reliable due to separation of the locking mechanism and speed-dependent activator
	It has super-fast activation of clamping cam (at a speed of 2 metres per second)
	Locking function keeps rope taut for belaying in the working position and prevents sagging ropes
	Absence of a toothed cam means less rope damage - plus blocking mechanism can release without fully relieving the load
	Easily attaches and detaches from a 10-12mm rope without separation from your carabiner
	An integrated RFID chip makes for simpler operational documentation

Setting the Standard for safety

Whilst comparable to Petzl's ASAP Lock, Edelrid's FUSE is one of the only securing devices on the market (for a payload up to 140kg) that meets all applicable European and North American standards

Get enthused about the FUSE

The high load capacity of this back-up device combo also supports work with heavy equipment and offers a higher reserve in the event of a rescue situation.
