Height access system SKYTAC

SKYTAC – Height access system with fall-arrest device at a fixed guidance EN 353-1

The SKYTAC Height Access System allows for fallproof climbing up and down to any height and depth at installed vertical ladders. It is used at towers, chimneys, elevated tanks, bridge piers, masts, antenna supports, machine and operating facilities, high-bay racks, industrial installations, buildings and façades, in shaft installations and pits, as well as at pools in the water supply and waste water area. The worker to be secured wears a rescue harness with an attached catching device running in a fixed guide rail. Should the user fall, the rescue device arrests in the rail and thus avoids an accident.

The climbing protection rails with a C-profile are made of hot-dip galvanised, 3 mm steel, and the rungs are provided with an extra zinc layer for better protection against corrosion. The upwardly profiled, punched rungs make the ladder particularly slipproof and provide the worker with a sound standing. The short rescue distances of the SKYTAC system assure tight falling distances and high safety.

  • Rung distance: 280 mm
  • Step width per side: 150 mm
  • Recommended mounting distance: 1,400 mm - max. 1,680 mm
  • Max. catching distance: 55 mm


The runner slides over large steel rolls carried in ball bearings. Thus the device absorbs impacts practically jerk-free. Overhangs up to 8 degree can be overcome due to the distance between the bottom of the runner and the back of the rail. The laterally swivelling swivel-snap carabiner is a threefold safety device: an elastomer arrester reduces the falling impact. It regenerates after a fall and thus allows for safe descending. The fall indicator indicates the fall being caught. Thereafter, however, an inspection of the runner is compulsory.
