Different rescue situations call for different descent technologies. SkySaver’s portfolio includes equipment based on friction control and mechanical braking, selected according to the device and its intended application. The system is CE marked, manufactured to ISO 9001:2015, tested by Gravitec USA, the Standards Institution of Israel, TÜV Germany and SZU Czech Republic, protected by patents in the USA, the EU, China and other countries, and covered by Lloyd's of London product insurance for the 9th consecutive year.
Put the backpack on and secure the integrated full-body harness. It fits over everyday clothing in seconds and carries users of 66–300 lbs (30–135 kg).
Attach the stainless-steel cable to a pre-installed anchor point at the window or balcony. Each anchor bolt is rated to 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg) and takes the full load.
Step out and descend at a steady 1.6–6.5 ft/sec (0.5–2 m/sec). The operating mechanism varies by product, and systems are supplied for descent heights of about 80, 160, 260 and 390 ft (25, 50, 80 and 120 m), with Easy Rescue low-altitude systems for 20, 30, 40 and 50 ft (6, 9, 12 and 15 m).
SkySaver offers multiple controlled-descent technologies, including friction-based and mechanical braking designs. The operating mechanism varies by product.
Secure the wearer and distribute supported loads through the body.
Regulate lowering at a controlled rate, using the mechanism specified for each model. Automatic Descent is a feature of applicable devices.
Connect the system to an appropriate rated attachment point.
Adapt compatible configurations to particular rescue needs, including assisted evacuation.
Every component is selected to support reliable, controlled evacuation in demanding emergency situations at height.
A stainless-steel 7x19 cable, rated to carry over 1,760 lbs (800 kg) — not rope or webbing.
A sealed Automatic Descent Device governs a constant 1.6–6.5 ft/sec (0.5–2 m/sec) descent mechanically. No electricity required.
The Automatic Descent Device withstands temperatures up to 302 °F (150 °C), so the braking mechanism keeps working in the heat a fire produces.
Built and tested to ASTM F1772-24, ANSI Z359.4, EN 1497 and EN 341 (up to 265 lbs / 120 kg). The professional harness is compatible with most 3M and Honeywell controlled descent devices.
Several thousand units of the 13 previous models have been sold. Over 1,000 descents have been performed with the current model, of which more than 5,800 units have been sold to date in 43 countries.
After a drill or a real descent, the device can be rewound by the manufacturer or an authorized local dealer. Manufacturer’s warranty of 7–25 years, depending on the product.
