The pulley [4] is a device that allows reducing the friction on a rope under load through the rotation of the
ball bearings [4a]. The locking cam [5] stops the movement of the rope in one direction, while allowing it
in the opposite direction (
Turbolock can be used as a simple pulley (the rope can move in both directions) or as a progress capture pulley (the
rope can move in one direction only).

It is necessary to assess the need for a safety line in parallel to the line on which the Turbolock is used.
Use as EN 12841/B ascender for work lines and as EN 567 rope clamp.
Turbolock can be used as a work line ascender device in rope access systems and as rope clamp for mountaineering.

For use in rope access systems (EN 12841/B), the work line loaded by the user must always be integrated with a
second safety line equipped with a rope adjustment device in accordance with EN 12841 Type A. Avoid any lateral
point of a suspension and fall arrester harness in accordance with EN 813/EN 361 using a connector and/or a lanyard
in accordance with EN 354 with a maximum length of 1 m.
To use in progression when mountaineering (EN 567), connect Turbolock to a harness in accordance with EN 12277
using a connector and/or a sling in accordance with EN 566 with a maximum length of 1 m.
