Kong Italy Back-Up Locking Device with Ovalone Carbon Auto Block ANSI | One-Handed Fall Arrest

Overview

Meet the Kong Italy Back-Up Locking Device with Ovalone Carbon Auto Block ANSI—an advanced fall-arrest tool designed for one-handed operation at height. Built to respond smoothly as you move, it can follow you in both directions and help manage a stop to a potential fall. The locking modes are adjustable with a simple button, enabling you to switch between securing a rope, positioning a user, or locking in place for a hands-free moment.

Why it matters at height

With a focus on reliability and ergonomic control, the Back-Up is crafted to handle semi-dynamic loads more gracefully than traditional toothed-cam self-lockers. This means fewer jolts on the rope during dynamic movement, and a steadier feel under tension. The carbon-fiber Ovalone auto block contributes to a lighter, sturdy profile that holds up under challenging conditions.
