Ergo Open Latch

The ERGO WIRE connector represents a refined evolution of the well-known Ergo platform and is the same trusted model used in the Panic system. Designed for demanding environments such as adventure parks and via ferrata routes, it integrates intelligent mechanics with long-term durability and enhanced user ergonomics. Its innovative gate system is engineered to remain open until it comes into direct contact with the bolt. At that precise moment, the internal mechanism releases and the connector closes automatically. This design allows for faster, more intuitive clipping while maintaining security. Additionally, the mechanism prevents accidental gate opening when the connector is under load, offering an important layer of protection in dynamic use situations. The connector’s asymmetric bent D-shape improves opening capability and handling efficiency, while its slim profile reduces bulk and enhances maneuverability. The geometry is particularly suited for users with smaller hands, such as women or children, allowing for more comfortable operation without compromising performance. Purpose-built for high-friction applications, the ERGO WIRE features a self-lubricating marine bronze safety lever positioned in the upper section. This bronze insert improves glide along steel cables and significantly reduces wear in the area most commonly subjected to abrasion in adventure parks. By protecting the aluminum body from direct cable contact, the connector maintains structural integrity and long-term safety even after extensive cycles of use. The wire gate construction further enhances durability, offering a lifespan up to four times longer than traditional solid bar gates—an essential advantage in environments where opening and closing cycles are extremely frequent. Certified to EN 12275/B and UIAA standards, and tested piece by piece, the ERGO WIRE is fully developed and manufactured in Italy. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, it delivers 25 kN major axis strength, 8 kN minor axis strength, and 8 kN open-gate strength, all while maintaining a lightweight 80 g profile. Engineered for reliability, built for high-volume use, and designed with both safety and ergonomics in mind, the ERGO WIRE is a professional-grade connector for high-demand vertical environments.
