7.2 AFTER THE FOLLOWING ABSEILING PERFORMANCE, SKYLOTEC
GB
RECOMMEND AN INSPECTION BY A SKYLOTEC TRAINED COMPETENT
PERSON
• Abseiling distance 3,000m with one person up to 75kg
• Abseiling distance 2,500m with one person up to 100kg
• Abseiling distance 1,000m with one or two persons up to 150kg
• Abseiling distance 400m with one or two persons up to 200kg
• Abseiling distance 200m with two persons up to 260kg
• Abseiling distance 200m with two persons up to 280kg (with deflection)
7.3 PERFORMANCE ACC. THE STANDARDS

7.3.1 ABSEILING

The MILAN and MILAN 2.0 abseiling device has been tested according to
EN 341:2011/1A. The following requirements have been met Class A Abseiling:
• W (Work) =7,5 x 10
or 10,000 m abseiling distance with a load of 1 person: 75kg)
• 1 x 500m min. load 1 person 30kg (child)
• 1 x 500m max. load 1 person 140kg
In addition to EN 341:2011/1A, testing under extreme loads has also been performed. The device
is capable of abseiling with a considerably heavier load. It is essential to note that the abseilings
must be reduced to a minimum in this case and the permitted number should not be exceeded.
• 1 x max. abseiling load capacities, 200m, 2 persons with overload: 260kg
• 1 x max. abseiling load capacity, 200m, 2 persons with deflection and 280kg
(
Caution: tested with + 25% according to EN 341.Never use with this reserve!

7.3.2 LIFTING

The rescue up function has been tested according EN1496:2006 with loads of 30kg, 150kg and
250kg, each time with a dry and wet rope.
The maximum nominal rescue up load for Milan devices according to EN 1496:2006 is 120kg,
80m. The device can, however, support loads of up to 250kg, 10m in emergencies. In this case,
manual forces and rope wear increase and no longer correspond with standard specifications.
A safe rescue is still possible.
Lifting puts a greater strain on the device and the rope than abseiling. This can create slip
if the lift is frequently used. This does not in general mean that there is a danger. The person
can still be safely abseiled.
These values are maximum values from the approval tests and have no additional safety factor.
SKYLOTEC recommends for the evacuation of larger groups and/ or over longer distances
to use multiple devices and not exceed these maximum values.
