Skylotec Ergogrip SK16 Pole Strap Work Positioning Device
Skylotec Ergogrip SK16 Pole Strap
The Skylotec Ergogrip SK16 is a work positioning pole strap whose length is set with a runner. Passed around a pole, mast or structure and back to the harness, it holds the user hands free at the work position. The runner adjusts easily with one hand.
It uses a 16 mm kernmantle rope that is edge loadable, abrasion resistant and stays soft in damp conditions for a long service life. The 2 m and 3 m versions are certified to AS/NZS 1891.1:2007, and the minimum tensile strength is 15 kN. The end fittings differ by length. The 1.8 m has a 20 mm gate triple action steel karabiner on the runner and a 64 mm gate aluminium and steel double action scaffold hook on the rope end. The 2 m has a 22 mm gate triple action alloy karabiner and a 22 mm gate double action alloy hook. The 3 m has a 20 mm gate triple action steel karabiner and a 22 mm gate double action alloy hook.

Product Documents
What is a pole strap used for?
It passes around a pole, mast or structure and back to the harness so the user can lean back and work hands free at the work position. The runner sets the working length.
What lengths are available?
The SK16 comes in 1.8 m, 2 m and 3 m. The end fittings differ: only the 1.8 m ships with a 64 mm gate scaffold hook. The 2 m and 3 m ship with a 22 mm gate double action alloy hook, so check which end fitting you need before ordering.
How is it different from the SK12?
The SK16 uses a heavier 16 mm rope and scaffold hook ends suited to pole and tower work, while the SK12 uses a 12 mm rope for general work positioning. Both adjust with one hand.
Is a pole strap a fall arrest device?
No. It is for work positioning only, certified to AS/NZS 1891.1:2007 on the 2 m and 3 m versions, and must be used together with a separate fall arrest system.
