Petzl VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK

Petzl VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK — connector for progression lanyards

The Petzl VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK is an automatically locking connector designed for use at the ends of compatible progression lanyards, including Petzl PROGRESS ADJUST and JANE systems. Its ergonomic shape supports frequent handling when passing intermediate anchors.

The large gate opening makes connection easier, while the Keylock nose helps prevent the connector from snagging accidentally. The TWIST-LOCK mechanism automatically locks when the gate closes and can be opened with a simple sleeve rotation.

Specifications

VERTIGO in a standard zipline equipment set

For commercial zipline and adventure-park operations, the VERTIGO TWIST-LOCK can form part of a trolley-and-lanyard system consisting of:

• A Petzl TRAC GUIDE for frequent, high-throughput operation, or a TRAC GUIDE LT for lighter-duty or lower-frequency use
• A compatible Petzl JOKO I pulley lanyard

Equipment selection and configuration must be assessed as a complete system. Operators must follow Petzl’s technical instructions, verify compatibility between components and implement the inspections, training and procedures required for their installation.
