ASAP and ASAP LOCK compatibility with ASAP’SORBERs explained

With the release of the 2026 range of ASAP devices, questions have been raised as to the compatibility between generations of devices. ASAP and ASAP LOCK are generally used with an ASAP’SORBER energy absorber. Each generation of ASAP or ASAP LOCK is compatible and certified with the same generation of ASAP’SORBER. Tests were conducted by Petzl to validate certain compatibility across generations. We have provided resources below to assist.

For more information on the compatibility, please refer to the following TechTip issued by Petzl. https://www.petzl.com/INT/en/Professional/ASAP-and-ASAP-LOCK-Generations---Compatibility-with-ASAP-SORBERs?ActivityName=Rope-access-and-confined-space
