Skylotec ActSafe ACX: The Ultimate Battery-Powered Solution for Heavy-Duty Vertical Access
For industrial maintenance teams, wind energy technicians, and technical rescue squads, manual climbing and hauling are inefficient and physically exhausting. The Skylotec ActSafe ACX Power Ascender Kit transforms vertical operations by providing a motorized, battery-operated personal elevator system that climbs standard 11mm static ropes instantly. This comprehensive kit eliminates the fatigue of long ascents on wind turbines, building facades, and masts, allowing technicians to arrive at the workspace fresh and ready to perform complex tasks.
Engineered for the harshest institutional environments, the ACX features a robust, water-resistant (IP55) housing and a high-capacity lithium battery system capable of lifting a 100kg load up to 550 meters on a single charge. Its defining feature for rescue and material handling is the bi-directional remote control, which operates up to 150 meters away. This allows a ground operator to send the unit up to retrieve an incapacitated victim or lift heavy tools without putting another climber on the rope. With a safe working load (SWL) of 220 kg (485 lbs), it is fully rated for two-person rescue scenarios.
Key Benefits:
- High-Speed Access: Ascends at variable speeds up to 24 meters/minute, drastically reducing downtime during tower climbs or high-angle access.
- Heavy-Duty Capacity: Boasts a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 220 kg (485 lbs), making it compliant for two-person rescue loads or heavy equipment hauling.
- Remote Operation: Includes a Bluetooth remote control with a 150m range, enabling unmanned lifting of gear or remote casualty extraction.
- All-Weather Reliability: Rated IP55 for resistance against dust and water jets, ensuring performance in offshore, wind, and industrial wash-down conditions.
- Continuous Operation: The kit includes two hot-swappable batteries; while one is in use, the other charges in just 90 minutes, allowing for near-continuous uptime.
- Versatile Rigging: Can be utilized as a personal ascender (traveling with the climber) or a fixed stationary winch (lifting loads/people).

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Is the ACX Power Ascender certified for lifting personnel or strictly for material handling?
The Skylotec ACX is fully certified for personnel lifting in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, provided it is used in conjunction with a primary suspension rope and a secondary safety backup system (such as a guided type fall arrester). It serves as a dual-purpose device, capable of acting as a personal man-riding winch for facade access or a heavy-duty material hoist for wind turbine maintenance. This regulatory compliance ensures that facility managers can standardize a single device for both human external cargo (HEC) and equipment transport, streamlining asset management.
-
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) and maximum ascent speed for this unit?
The ACX features a robust Safe Working Load (SWL) of 200 kg (approximately 440 lbs), allowing it to easily lift two operators or a rescuer and patient in a "pick-off" scenario. The bi-directional throttle allows for precise speed control ranging from 0 to 24 meters per minute, giving the operator granular control during delicate positioning tasks. This high torque capacity is maintained throughout the battery's charge, ensuring consistent lifting power without the voltage sag common in consumer-grade electric hoists.
-
How does the remote control functionality enhance safety during rescue operations?
The included Bluetooth remote control functions up to a range of 150 meters (492 feet), allowing a second operator on the ground to take full command of the unit if the primary user becomes incapacitated. This feature is a critical safety redundancy for confined space rescue or solo work-at-height, as it permits an immediate remote-controlled descent or ascent without requiring a complex rope-to-rope rescue intervention. It effectively transforms a passive standby rescue plan into an active, immediate response capability.
-
What is the expected battery duty cycle and charging time for continuous field use?
With the standard high-capacity lithium-ion battery, the ACX delivers a working range of up to 200 meters (656 feet) of continuous ascent with a 100 kg load at 20Ā°C. The intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) protects the cells from overheating and deep discharge, while the rapid charger can replenish a depleted battery in approximately 90 minutes. For projects requiring zero downtime, the "hot-swappable" battery design allows crews to rotate between the two included packs, ensuring continuous uptime during long shifts.
-
Does this system require proprietary rope, or can it use standard industrial static lines?
The ACX is engineered to operate specifically with 11mm semi-static kernmantle rope certified to EN 1891 Type A standards (such as Skylotec Super Static 11.0). While it is compatible with various high-quality 11mm static ropes, utilizing the manufacturer-recommended Equipment Lifting Rope (ELR) is crucial for maintaining the device's traction calibration and warranty status. Using incorrect diameters or dynamic climbing ropes can compromise the self-locking rope grab mechanism and result in slippage under load.
