KONG Duck Emergency Rope Clamp | 8–13 mm

The KONG Duck is an innovative, ultra-compact emergency rope clamp for professional arborists, rope access technicians, climbers, and technical rescue personnel. Its lightweight construction and versatile design make it useful for emergency ascents, recovery maneuvers, self-rescue, rope progression, and adjusting compatible lanyards and webbing systems.

Designed for single ropes measuring 8 to 13 mm in diameter, the Duck is also compatible with KONG Yaku Vario and Aro Sling Tubular webbing products.

Its compact design allows easy installation, even one-handed, while the large attachment opening lets compatible locking carabiners rotate freely. Manufactured entirely in Italy from aluminum alloy, the Duck combines low weight with practical functionality for professional rope systems.
