Skylotec SCOUT Type 1 Fall Arrester with Rope (Available in 5m -100m)
Skylotec SCOUT Fall Arrester with Rope
The Skylotec SCOUT is a guided type fall arrester that runs on its own rope lifeline, giving hands free fall protection as the user climbs or moves. An integrated strap allows a wide range of motion, and the device slides smoothly along the rope without unnecessary resistance.
It suits both vertical ascents and horizontal work on fall edges thanks to its edge suitable design, and the integrated panic function locks immediately in a fall. It is approved for users up to 150 kg and certified to EN 353-2, with a fall indicator on the device. Available in 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 30 m, 50 m, 75 m and 100 m.

How does the SCOUT work?
It is a guided fall arrester that clamps onto its own rope lifeline. It follows you up or down the rope hands free, then locks on the rope if a fall starts.
Can it be used horizontally?
Yes. It is edge suitable, so it works for horizontal jobs on a fall edge as well as vertical ascents on masts, towers, ladders and shafts.
What is the panic function?
If the device is grabbed or shock loaded in panic during a fall, it locks immediately on the rope rather than releasing, which keeps the user secure.
What lengths and weight rating are available?
Rope lengths run from 5 m up to 100 m on 11 mm rope, and the system is approved to EN 353-2 for users up to 150 kg.
