Skylotec SKN BFD SK11 Fall Arrest Device
Skylotec SKN BFD SK11 Fall Arrest Device
The Skylotec SKN BFD SK11 is a guided type fall arrester with a small integrated energy absorber, which makes it suited to a wide range of settings. It is used for vertical ascents on 11 mm ropes and has been tested for users up to 140 kg. Because it is edge tested in compliance with RFU CNB/P/11.075 Rev. 2, building edges can also be worked on horizontally.
The device runs on the rope and locks under a fall, while the energy absorber keeps arrest forces controlled. It ships in 5 m, 15 m and 30 m rope lengths so it can be matched to the working height. Pair it with a full body harness from the safety harness range, browse the wider rope access gear, or compare the handled SKA rope clamp for ascent work.
