Skylotec OTTO L Figure of Eight Descender

The Skylotec OTTO Big is a classic figure of eight descender in aluminium, supplied in mixed colours, and it supersedes the earlier A-008 code. Skylotec build it for abseiling and for belaying a leader dynamically, and list it for rescue and tactical rope work. A figure of eight creates friction as the rope runs through it, which is what gives the operator control of the descent, so the rope is fed and held by the person on it rather than locked off by the device. It weighs 0.13kg, carries a 30 year maximum service life, is rated from -30 to +40 degrees C and can be packed in a SEAL PAC. It is not a fall arrest device and has no self-locking function: it is used by a trained operator as part of a rope system with an independent backup.

FAQ

What is the OTTO Big?

A classic figure of eight descender in aluminium, supplied in mixed colours. Skylotec list it for abseiling and for belaying a leader dynamically, in rescue and tactical rope work.

What is it rated to?

It is a friction descender rather than a rated connector, so it is not sold on a kN figure. It weighs 0.13kg, is made from aluminium and carries a 30 year maximum service life.

Is it personal fall protection?

No. It is a descent control device with no self-locking function, so it must be used by a trained operator within a rope system that has an independent backup.
