Skylotec Milan 2.0 Hub CRD Auto-descent Rescue Device(50m)

The Skylotec Milan 2.0 Hub is one of the world's most popular auto controlled rate descending devices, which enables two people to be evacuated simultaneously and speedily from a structure, be that a wind turbine, tower crane, telecomms mast etc. using a centrifugally controlled reinforced brake which keeps the speed constant during the entire descent.

This 'Hub' (with wheel) version also enables an accident victim to be lifted a short distance (for instance if the rescuer needs to unattached the casualty from the structure i.e. if they have fallen onto their lanyard/s), the victim can then be safely lowered to the ground.

The rope has connectors at both ends to enable it to be used in a yo-yo fashion, so that as soon as the first evacuees are on the ground, further evacuees can attach themselves and escape without having to recharge the device / pull rope through (if the rope length is the same height as the height of the structure. If it is not then a temporary attachment point can be tied into the rope when the first evacuees have safely landed on the ground).

Using Super Static 9mm rope, the Milan 2.0 rescue kit is small compared to rescue devices which use ropes of 10.5mm in diameter. The housing is constructed of milled aircraft grade aluminium making it very robust. 

The Skylotec Milan 2.0 has a tweaked design from the original and now features 'bull horns' rather than the 'pig-tail' and an integrated rope clamp in the body rather than the protruding cam cleat.
