Product Description
Product Features
- 8 mm temporary anchor made of a twisted aluminum plate and a steel pin for suspension and caving equipment.
- Instant setup by activating the release piston and complete extraction by pressing the piston and pulling on the plate.
- Locking wheel for prolonged use or group settings and interchangeable plate for easy maintenance.
- Design limits corrosion underground for more responsible and controllable equipment use.
- Certified resistances: shear 15 kN and pull-out 12 kN (concrete 50 MPa) with CE EN 795 certifications.
Design and Materials
The Petzl Pulse 8 mm combines a twisted aluminum plate and a stainless steel pin (with polyamide components depending on variants) to provide a lightweight, strong, and durable anchor. The plate keeps the connector parallel to the wall, facilitating equipment use and reducing stress on connectors.
Quick Installation and Removal
Setup is instantaneous thanks to the release piston: a simple action locks the anchor. For extraction, pressing the piston along with pulling on the plate completely removes the anchor, simplifying the operation for cavers.
Safety and Group Use
The notched locking wheel ensures reliable holding for prolonged or group use, even when wearing gloves. The mechanical characteristics (shear and pull-out) guarantee performance suitable for loads encountered in caving.
Maintenance and Responsible Use
The design minimizes corrosion underground, allowing visual inspection of the anchor's condition and simplified maintenance thanks to the interchangeable plate, contributing to a more respectful use of underground environments.
