Skylotec Easy Access Fall Arrest Device for Rope Access
Skylotec Easy Access Fall Arrest Device for Rope Access
A fall arrest device built specifically for rope access work under EN 12841-A. It is designed to sit above the user on the safety line at all times, which is what keeps the potential fall factor down.
The device allows safe climbing up and down a vertical rope and stops the user immediately in a fall. A lanyard lets the user pull it down while descending, and a second hole can be used to unlock it while loaded. It attaches directly to the harness with a LINK 20 or LINK 40 (140 kg working load) and must be used only in combination with the LINK 20 or LINK 40. Net weight is 0.19 kg, maximum lifetime is 30 years, and a serial number is mandatory.
For a device with Go and Rest modes on the same kind of line, see the Easy Speed rope fall arrester. Descent gear is in rope access and two person work sits with the rescue range.

Why does it sit above the user?
Keeping the device high on the safety line keeps the potential fall factor low. A device that has slid down below you turns a slip into a much longer fall.
How do I bring it down as I descend?
It has a lanyard the user pulls to draw the device down while descending, and a second hole that can be used to unlock it when it is loaded.
How does it attach to the harness?
Directly, using a LINK 20 or LINK 40 (140 kg working load). These are the only connectors approved for use with this device.
Is it for rope access only?
Yes. It was designed specifically for rope access operations under EN 12841-A and should not be substituted for a general purpose fall arrest device.
