ORTOVOX Probe Alu 240 Light avalanche probe, silver

ORTOVOX Probe Alu 240 Light avalanche probe

Lightweight and compact probe made of hardened aluminum. With this probe, you will appreciate the intuitive depth marking and the Quick Lock folding system with a wider flat loop for quickly folding the probe, which will make rescuing a buried person much easier and faster.

Intelligent depth marking

The 1m depth marking will decide for you which direction to dig from and save you valuable minutes during the rescue.

• side kick if the marking is 1 m under the snow
• kick from above, if the marking is above the snow surface

This recommendation is based on the latest IKAR methodological guidelines. When digging, the penultimate blue part serves as a warning that you are approaching the backfill. The last neon-orange part at the end of the probe is a warning for more careful digging to avoid injury to the buried. The probe has a depth marking of 5 cm.

Folding the probe in one quick movement

The QUICK LOCK locking system allows you to quickly assemble the probe with one movement and also to tighten the probe using the thread. You can fold the probe in one continuous motion directly when removing it from the packaging - just pull the wide loop of the probe and then secure the Aramid cable at the top of the probe. The conical approaches will help you assemble the probe easily and without snagging. When folding, you just need to easily release the Quick lock system. Controlling the probe is easy, even if you are wearing gloves.

You can rely on the probe even in hard snow

• The probe diameter is 11 mm and provides sufficient rigidity
• Aramid rope is strong, lightweight and 6x more durable than steel
• The probe material is 7075 Alu T6 duralumin alloy, which is used in the aerospace industry and is characterized by high strength.
• The steel conical tip is wider than the diameter of the probe, which eliminates friction and freezing of the probe against the walls of the puncture, making it easier for the probe to penetrate the snow.
