Skylotec ACX Power Ascender
A variety of different ropes and rope lengths available.
In combination with our proven SKYRAIL, the battery-operated ACX POWER ASCENDER forms a highly flexible facade access system for the simple cleaning and maintenance of complex building structures. The SKYRAIL is mounted to the facia or facade and both the working rope (e.g. SUPER STATIC 11.0) and the backup rope are connected to a SKYRAIL runner. For building cleaners and maintenance technicians, it is child's play to move across a facade or rope up loads, because no muscle power is required. Movement with the device is possible from top to bottom and from left to right and vice versa - so any desired working position can be achieved. In addition, no expensive facade access system or mobile elevated work platform is required. In an emergency, the ACX can be controlled by remote control. The operation and use of the ACX is quick and easy to learn.
