The Kong Back-Up Magnet is an innovative positioning accessory designed to maintain the proper orientation and tracking performance of the Kong Back-Up Device during rope access and work-at-height operations. By keeping the Back-Up Device aligned correctly on the rope, the system allows technicians to move freely while ensuring smooth and reliable operation throughout ascent and descent.

The integrated magnet and lanyard system enables hands-free movement along the rope, eliminating the need to manually advance the Back-Up Device during normal operation. The carefully engineered lanyard length and attachment position help maintain a fall factor below 1, while the system remains compliant with applicable standards and Kong's guidance for two-person rescue loads. When used in conjunction with the Kong Back-Up Device, the complete system complies with EN 353, EN 358, and EN 12841 requirements.
