Skyvest by Skylotec

SKYVEST is inflated via a pressure bottle equipped with a pyrotechnic release. The inflation unit is connected to an electronic sensor unit that detects a fall situation based on parameters such as movement, acceleration and position of the person. In this way, not only the chest and back, including the spine, are protected, but also the back of the head and the coccyx.

The waistcoat is put on with three click fasteners and is reusable after the airbag has been deployed. In addition, the airbag waistcoat can be used flexibly, independently and universally over a period of 24 hours.

Universal use in various fields of application

The waistcoat is suitable, for example, for electricians or workers in building management, for truck drivers, dock workers, service technicians, garage builders, workers in machine maintenance and servicing or even private individuals who perform activities on a ladder. The patented system can also be combined with a PPE harness. A back eyelet extension is required for this.

The SKYVEST has been tested by the Bertrandt Research Centre for crash tests and certified by TÜV as personal protective equipment

SKYVEST is a category 2 PPE certified by TÜV and is designed to protect and reduce injuries in case of falls from low heights. The reflective vest with integrated airbag made of tear-resistant material inflates within 200ms in case of a fall. The airbag system is inflated via a CO2 pressure bottle equipped with a pyrotechnic release. After a fall, the inflator can be replaced by the user and is therefore reusable. The inflator unit (included), which is connected to an electronic sensor unit, detects fall situations based on parameters such as movement, acceleration and position of the person. Not only are the chest and back, including the spine, protected, but also the back of the head and coccyx. Also worn over a conventional harness, SKYVEST in combination with PPEgA can greatly reduce the risk of injury in pendulum falls, for example. With a battery life of up to 40 hours, it is flexible, independent and universally applicable - the perfect addition for all areas where PSAgA is not applicable.
