Skylotec FIXPRO Positioning Bracket for Karabiners
Skylotec FIXPRO Positioning Bracket for Karabiners
A positioning bracket that keeps a karabiner correctly aligned with the system, rope or object it is attached to. Cross loading is one of the quietest failure modes in height safety, and this is the cheapest thing that removes it.
The Fix Pro captive bar is sold and priced individually. The price shown is for one bar, so order one per karabiner you need to fix.
With the Fix Pro fitted, the minor axis of the connector cannot be loaded beyond what the bracket allows. It is affixable without the use of tools and is compatible with Pillar, D-Shape, Concept and Snappy connectors in their light alloy, steel or stainless steel versions. It is supplied in orange with a stated maximum service life of 10 years. The positioning bracket is not PPE and is not designed to support any type of load.
Fit it to a connector from karabiners, maillons and hooks, such as the FS 90 ALU. Access gear is in rope access.

What problem does it solve?
Cross loading. A karabiner left free to rotate can end up loaded across its minor axis, where its strength is a fraction of the rated figure. The Fix Pro holds the connector aligned to the system, rope or object it is attached to, which reduces loading across the minor axis.
Which connectors does it fit?
Pillar, D-Shape, Concept and Snappy connectors, in their light alloy, steel or stainless steel versions.
Is it rated?
No, and this is important. The positioning bracket is not PPE and is not designed to support any type of load. It positions the connector, it does not carry anything.
Does it need tools?
No, it is fitted without tools.
