Ortovox Probe Alu avalanche probe

The ORTOVOX ALU 240 avalanche probe is the ideal choice if you are looking for a light and small probe without compromising strength and length. You will appreciate the intuitive indication of the depth of the buried object and the Quick Lock system for quick folding of the probe, which will make it much easier and faster to save the buried object.

• QUICK LOCK locking system.
• Tip wider than probe parts.
• Tapered ramps for faster assembly.
• 1 m depth marking.
• Marking the depth after 5 cm.
• Weight 200 g.

Intelligent depth marking

Marking a depth of 1 m will decide for you from which direction to dig and save so many precious minutes during the rescue .

• kick from the side if the marking is 1 m below 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 movement right when you take it out of the package - just pull the end of the aramid cable and then secure it at the top of the probe. The conical approaches will help you assemble the probe easily and without snagging. When unfolding, 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 diameter of the probe is 11 mm and provides sufficient rigidity.
• Aramid rope is strong, light and 6 times more durable than steel.
• The material of the probe is duralumin alloy 7075 Alu T6, which is used in the aviation 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, which makes it easier to penetrate the snow with the probe.

Sufficiently long but compact avalanche probe

• The probe length of 240 cm is sufficient even for large deposits in the avalanche zone
• 6 parts 43 cm long.
• The new Quick Lock system is simple and resistant to damage.
