Nano Traxion

The Petzl NANO TRAXION is an ultra-lightweight, compact progress-capture pulley designed for rescue. At 53 g, it is the smaller sibling of the Petzl MICRO TRAXION, and the two differ in one way that matters when choosing between them: the NANO TRAXION has no lockout function, while the MICRO TRAXION's cam locks open so it can also run as a simple pulley.

Rescue teams, rope access technicians, and mountaineers use the NANO TRAXION wherever a light, compact progress-capture pulley is needed: sealed ball bearings give it 91% efficiency, including on frozen or muddy rope, for crevasse rescue, hauling, and self-rescue. A hole in the body lets a Petzl Sm'D carabiner be tethered to the pulley with a cord so it cannot be dropped during a transfer.
