ART Lockjack 2 (Sport) with swivel

Description

Take control of your climbing system with the ART LockJack 2 with Swivel. It delivers smooth ascent, controlled descent, and efficient rope handling in a compact mechanical friction device designed for professional arborists.

To begin with, the LockJack 2 replaces traditional friction hitches in doubled rope systems. As a result, it provides consistent performance without the variability of knot-based systems. You get smoother operation, faster adjustment, and improved climbing efficiency.

In addition, the integrated swivel improves movement in the canopy. It reduces rope twist and prevents harness rotation during work. Therefore, you maintain better body positioning and reduce fatigue during longer climbs.

Because the device uses a mid-line attach system, you can install it directly onto the rope without threading. This saves time during setup and makes mid-climb adjustments easier. In turn, it improves workflow when moving between work positions.

Furthermore, the aluminium construction provides a strong but lightweight frame. It is built for professional use and supports high working loads while maintaining durability in demanding environments. The system also includes replaceable wear parts, which extend service life and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

The LockJack 2 works with 11–13 mm EN 1891 climbing ropes and is certified to EN 358 standards. It also includes interchangeable clutches for different rope diameters, allowing better compatibility across setups.

However, correct carabiner selection is critical. The device must be paired with approved, appropriately shaped connectors to ensure safe operation and prevent interference with the release mechanism. Proper inspection before use is also essential in all climbing applications.

Overall, the ART LockJack 2 with Swivel delivers a highly efficient, smooth-operating, and professional-grade climbing system. It improves mobility, reduces physical effort, and enhances control for arborists working in complex canopy environments.
