VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK

Product Description

The Petzl VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK is a connector designed specifically for use with progression lanyards in work positioning and rope access applications. Its twist-lock gate mechanism requires a rotational action to open, providing reliable accidental opening resistance during active movement on structure — a critical feature for connectors used in progression systems where the lanyard is frequently clipped and unclipped as the worker moves between anchor points. The 25 mm gate opening accommodates a wide range of anchor points, structural elements, and rigging hardware encountered in tower climbing, construction, and rope access work.

The VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK is optimized for one-handed operation, allowing the worker to clip and unclip efficiently while maintaining contact with the structure. The twist-lock mechanism strikes a balance between security and speed of use — more resistant to accidental opening than a standard snapgate, but faster to operate than a screwgate or triple-action lock in progression applications where frequent clipping is required. Major axis strength is rated at 25 kN, with an open gate strength of 8 kN.

Certified to CE EN 362, UKCA, and GB/T 23469 / B, the VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK meets European, UK, and Chinese connector standards for use in fall protection and rope access systems. It is backed by a 3-year guarantee and is part of Petzl's connector range designed to support efficient, safe progression on structure.
