The ultralight, compact entry-level ActSafe ICX power ascender has been developed for a safe and efficient transport
of persons in hard-to-reach areas. Paired with a rope, the ActSafe ICX forms an incredibly flexible system for the
straightforward and cost-efficient cleaning and maintenance of complex structures. Its intuitive operation is
effortlessly managed with a thumb wheel, enabling precise work.
Equipped with a high-performance "Husqvarna"
BLi200 battery, the hoist achieves an ascent speed of 24 m/min. The maximum battery range is 230 m with a 100

themselves. Operating and utilizing the ActSafe ICX is quickly and easily learned through user training
