Skylotec RAPTOR W Retractable Fall Arrester
Skylotec RAPTOR W Retractable Fall Arrester
The RAPTOR W is a fall arrester with a self retracting textile strap and an automatic blocking feature, so it keeps the line taut as you move and locks instantly if you fall. Its modular design allows individual components to be replaced, which reduces inspection time and maintenance cost, and an energy absorbing inlet damper protects the housing and internal mechanics from repeated impacts.
Two fall indicators are visible from the outside so the user can confirm the device is serviceable, with a red indicator when inspection is due. It is certified to EN 360:2002, secures users from 40kg to 140kg, and comes in 6m or 8m. It is certified for vertical use only: Skylotec do not edge approve the RAPTOR W, so for work over an edge use the edge approved RAPTOR C. For a longer stainless steel cable version see the RAPTOR CS, compare the HK Plus SRL and the compact Peanut, or browse all retractable fall arresters.
