FAQ

Has this risk caused any personal injury?

As of March 22, 2022, we know two cases of trolley breakage while they were being used in a system with a second lanyard (redundancy). These ruptures did not result in any personal injury.

Where can I find the serial number?

Your TRAC CLUB’s serial number is located on the frame of the product.

If I choose an exchange, can I use the TRAC GUIDE LT in place of my TRAC CLUB?

Yes. The TRAC GUIDE LT has the same bearings as the TRAC CLUB, which provide a durability and travel speed on cable similar to the TRAC CLUB. Its ergonomics, however, are the same as the TRAC GUIDE.

If I choose a refund for my TRAC CLUB, what amount will I be refunded?

Your local Petzl after-sales service will refund you the purchase price.

        

Are the TRAC GUIDE trolleys affected by this recall?

No. No other trolleys are affected by this recall.

 

When will the TRAC CLUB be available again?

We are unable to provide an answer at this time. We are working on a technical solution to the problem and will keep you informed.
