Q Why should HSE International readers choose
SKYLOTEC GmbH for their fall protection systems?
What sets you aside from your competitors?
“At SKYLOTEC, we’re distinctive as one of the very few
family-run businesses completely focusing on working at
height. Almost all of our training and sales staff have technical
backgrounds in working or climbing at height and have been
involved with training, contracting and rescue; whether in
industry or rescue organisations such as mountain rescue.
“However, SKYLOTEC is more than just a supplier of
fall protection equipment. We are a full service provider;
consulting clients on all aspects of working at height and
rescue / evacuation – from detailed risk assessments via
order and delivery, to PPE and rescue training. We also work
extensively with confined space access and rescue equipment.”
We are SKYLOTEC.
We protect people
from falling.
“We enable people to
both work at height and
climb, providing high-
performance products
‘Made in Germany’ with the
highest levels of safety.”
