Will find a place in all work or rescue kits Breaking strength when used as pulley only: 10 kN x 2 = 20 kN Working load when used as pulley only: 2.5 kN x 2 = 5 kN Breaking strength when used as selfjamming pulley: 4 kN Working load when used as selfjamming pulley: 2.5 kN For use with ropes from 8 to 13 mm in diameter 164 g
Back up a belay, use it on a Tyrolean traverse, or haul up your haul bags, no matter the job, Petzl's Mini Traxion Pulley is equal to the task. You'll get your money's worth with this 3 in 1 device that provides you with a pulley, self jamming pulley, and rope clamp.
The Petzl Mini Traxion is a compact and lightweight self-jamming pulley.
A combination pulley, self-jamming pulley, and rope clamp/grab for rescue kits. Well suited for movement on a traverse or for rope climbing, it can be used to set up a hauling system or for self-belaying.
You can use the Petzl Mini Traxion Pulley for hauling on a multi-pitch climb, as a standard pulley, or for ascending a fixed rope thanks to it's unique locking design. The cam on the Mini Traxion Pulley allows you to pull rope through smoothly but prevents the rope from sliding in the opposite direction. It can also be locked open when you need a free pulley. Bring this 5.8-ounce self-locking pulley on a long trad route to haul your pack, or use it for crevasse rescue on your next mountaineering trip.
The Petzl Mini Traxion is a multipurpose 3 in 1 device (pulley, selfjamming pulley, rope clamp / grab) for hauling a sack, raising a person, setting up a hauling system or self-belaying.
Considering its small size, you might think that the Petzl Charlet Mini Traxion is a dedicated sack hauler, but it's sturdy enough to haul a human. Use it as a back-up belay, a hauler or a non-reversing pulley on a Tyrolean traverse. For use on single ropes ranging from 8 mm. to 13 mm. in diameter.
A pulley with self lubricating bushing and a rope clamp/grab ñall in oneî. A new concept in pulleys with anti return feature, the Mini Traxion can be used for sack hauling, but it can also be used for the attachment of a person. This pulley is great for setting up hauling systems, for back up belaying and for moving along a tyrolean traverse, where the cam operates as an anti return device.
The Mini Traxion from Petzl is a 3-in-1 multipurpose pulley/self jamming pulley/ rope clamp. You will appreciate it for setting up hauling systems, for back-up belaying and for moving along a Tyrolean traverse, where the cam operates as an anti-return device.
This unique pulley has a built-in cam that acts as an anti-return device--ideal for setting up hauling systems or moving along a tyrolean traverse.

Very multiuse, but you need education. | |

| Where do I start? I've been climbing since 1995. This little guy goes with me always. During snow school teaching crevase rescue, its a dream. Hauling "light" pigs on the big wall this system works. Go to youtube and search "El Capitan - Lurking Fear" to see a guy set up a haul system using this device. The "Pro-trax" is made for bigger loads, yet "Pass the Pitons Pete" has blown one up before. When I was learning to aid climb, no one would belay me for hours, so I set up a top fixed line, I used the Mini-trax to self belay up the line. Really the possibilities are limited to your knowledge. That said, READ, READ, READ. Just buying gear doesn't make you a climber. Almost everything I've learned, some climber wrote the book about it. Good luck, be smart, and be safe. Kevin | |

Good for hauling medium-wieght gear | |
| Rating: |  |
I've had one of these for about 7 years. When you need to haul gear, its nice to have the lock-out feature, so that you can use it as a simple pulley OR a hauling pulley, so that you don't end up carrying 2 pulleys or worse, a pulley and an ascender to catch. I haven't had trouble with it catching, but I've used it mainly for hauling lots of midwieght (30-50 lbs) bags on a fixed line, or something like scuba tanks that are heavier than you'd want to manhandle. I guess the only thing I'd like is if the lockout handle was metal instead of plastic, but I'd say that about all new Petzl cam devices. | |

very good top rope solo device | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought this product because it was one of the few product listed as a rope solo device. I don't like to purchase anything that only has one primary use so that limited me on gear options. When doing research I found than many people use this product to work various projects. In the end I use this product once a week with great results (I have not died yet). I like that it is simple to use and that the rope feeds easily through it. It is very tough for me to give any product 5 stars since there is always things that could be improved upon. In this case there are very few. | |

The Pig... | |
| Rating: | |
what we been using to haul a small bag up on these OW and Chimney routes at Red Rocks, i.e. Epinephrine and Lady Wilson's Cleavage....with a Black Diamond Guide and double ropes, I rig both the 2nd and the bag at the same time. The 2nd is still within reach obviously if he/she needs to help the pig through a tight squeeze....does not take much elbow grease to haul a desert sized bag up...in fact, can bring both up at the same time, just like two climbers...this pulley catches and holds...thus why you need it if you are going with my method...real light weight and works like a charm. | |

Great For Top Rope Soloing | |
| Rating: | |
I use one of these as part of my solo top roping system, and it works very well. Feeds smoothly and with little effort, and catches positively when weighted. I've never done any hauling with it, but I imagine it would work pretty well for anything under 50 pounds or so. Of course, like any "toothed" cam device, this can remove the sheath from your rope in short order if you subject it to heavy dynamic loading, so (like any rock climbing equipment), proper training and a sufficiently redundant system are mandatory prerequisites of use. Over all, a very well built and versatile piece of gear. | |

Too Cool Not to Own | |
| Rating: | |
| I've used my mini traxion in a variety of interesting ways over the years that I've owned it. Its great as a pulley in a haul line, or to back up any load bearing rope, such as in a rescue. I've had the opportunity to experiment with it for caving purposes, too, usually as part of a vertical ascent system. In all cases, and withstanding all abuse, the mini traxion has proven itself a useful ally and even an essential tool in times of need. You won't regret having this around if you need to get out of a tight spot fast. | |

Glad I bought it | |

| Nice little device. I do a lot of solo rock climbing & use a Silent Partner as my main self belay device. Previously when leading a sport route, I would have to clip in to a bolt to free my hands to re-tie a feeder loop or look for a good rest spot to do so. Using this device as a rope clamp, now allows me to adjust the feeder loop on the fly. It also is a wonderful backup for top ropes, allowing me to rest on difficult climbs without weighting,locking & then unlocking my Silent Partner. | |

I wouldn't change a thing. | |

| After much research I bought this to go top rope soloing. I've always felt very secure wether its vertical, roofs, or even traversing. The rope runs through without having to do any manual feeding. Locks you in place instantly when you come off. Best thing I've found out there for top rope soloing. I've also used this a a self jamming pulley while for hauling on big walls, It worked really well at that too. The Pro Traxion on big walls was a little better suited for hauling big loads though. | |

Some many uses | |
| Rating: | |
You can use this thing in a lot of ways WITH the PROPER training. Ideally, you would NOT do heavy hauling with it, the main pulley is too small and you will lose too much of your pulling power with this system. But a small day pack, crevasse rescue or as a fixed line soloist (again PROPER training) it is an amazing little unit. | |

Great product | |
| Rating: | |
| Good product for aid climbing. Can be used to haul light loads or in combination 3:1 pulley systems. Also great for a backup when jugging/cleaning vertical pitches. GriGri with solo modification works much better for solo aid and/or cleaning wandering/traversing pitches. Can also be used on your zip line for pulling up extra gear/water/food on a long aid pitch. | |
