Skylotec SKA Rope Clamp Rope Devices
Skylotec SKA Rope Clamp
The Skylotec SKA rope clamp is a rescue tool for reaching a casualty who is hanging out of easy reach, such as below the edge after a fall. It is placed on the lanyard or fall arrester rope of the casualty to create a fresh anchor point, so the rescuer can then lift the casualty until their own lanyard is unloaded and can be released.
That single, focused job makes it a valuable part of a rescue and retrieval kit, where the priority is to take the load off a suspended worker quickly. It is made from stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, weighs 0.67 kg and carries a 150 kg working load limit. It fits rope from 12 mm to 16 mm. Used regularly and stored in a standard bag its service life is 10 years with an annual check; stored unused in a Seal Pac that extends to 15 years, and up to 30 years once the Seal Pac has been resealed. Browse the wider rescue range, more rope access gear, or the full Skylotec range. It pairs with the Sirius compact descender and the ISC D5 descender.
