Working at heights on vertical fall protection systems is very challenging for workers in energy supply, telecommunications or other industries. For fall protection, solutions are therefore required that combine protective function and wearing comfort. With the “Speed” and “Speed Attach”, SKYLOTEC offers the world's only climbing protection runners for vertical rails that are equipped with two redundant fall arrest systems. In addition, they can be used with both the fall arres- or chest eyelet, which significantly increases comfort when ascending and descending. Now the two fall protection runners are also tested and certified for "Söll GlideLoc" rails under certain conditions*. This makes them compatible with a large part of the rail systems on the market.

The use of facade access systems and mobile elevated work platforms to clean and maintain complex building facades can often be costly and sometimes even impossible. SKYLOTEC now offers an alternative that makes working on such facade structures much easier: by combining the “Skyrail” rail system with the battery-operated “ACX” power ascender. This work device replaces access systems or mobile work platforms for building cleaners. “ACX” makes the place of work easier to reach and users can then carry out their work along the facade more efficiently and more flexibly.

SKYLOTEC has launched the “Multipin” single anchor point, which boasts several advantages when it comes to fall protection on trapezoidal sheet roofing. The anchor point, which is presented by the manufacturer at the Dach + Holz International trade fair in February, is suitable for just about any trapezoidal sheeting; it is smaller than comparable products and therefore helps to make logistics more efficient. This is because its ergonomic design allows retailers, steel construction workers, roofers and industrial fitters to optimise many of their processes in storage facilities and on the building site.

SKYLOTEC will be presenting its new Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and products for fall protection when working on roofs at SICUR 2018. The focus here is on easy operation and enhanced safety for workers.
