ORTOVOX PROBE ALU 240 PFA ALUMINIUM silver 240cm

In emergency situations, speed is the most important thing. This is why we have made our 240 cm aluminum probe even more efficient. Thanks to the optimized PFA system, the ALU 240 PFA has become MORE COMPACT and simultaneously easier to use. The quick-tensioning system allows it to be opened and extended rapidly with a single movement. To determine burial depth and facilitate subsequent shoveling operations, all our probes are equipped with a clearly legible NUMERICAL INDICATION and a clear 1 METER mark. The lowest segment in neon orange signals the proximity of the victim during shoveling operations. The new and improved RUBBER GRIP of the ALU 240 PFA allows the probe to be used in all weather conditions. GREATER SPEED That’s what counts. In every detail. We develop highly specialized probes for every need and for the most diverse user groups. At the core of everything for us is the search for PRECISION and SPEED. Because in case of need, this is exactly what can save a life. We focus our attention on details to make rescues even more intuitive and to be able to reach buried persons even faster, thanks also to the A.R.T.VA device and our shovels. PFA 2.0 QUICK-TENSIONING SYSTEM The optimized model of our much-imitated quick-tensioning system has become even SLIMMER and easier to STOW while maintaining the continuously adjustable position lock. The NEW QUICK-TENSIONING CABLE allows the probe to be extended directly from the cover. Tensioning occurs by pressing with the thumb on the lid. ERGONOMIC GRIP The thin and light rubber coating guarantees perfect grip for quickly extending the probe. PROBES VISUAL SIGNALING SYSTEM The intuitive visual signaling system offers you valuable information on burial depth at all times. Thanks to the clear 1m marking, the STRONG DEPTH SCALE CONTRASTS and the END SEGMENTS IN DIFFERENT COLORS, you can OPTIMALLY ADAPT your SHOVELING METHOD, thus SAVING precious time. The lowest segment, in neon orange, shows you if you are approaching the victim. QUICK-RELEASE COVER The quick-tensioning cable allows you to open and QUICKLY EXTEND the probe WITH A SINGLE MOVEMENT, without having to first remove it from its cover. LARGER PROBE TIP The significantly wider diameter of a probe element allows for better penetration into the snow.
