Highest-capacity powered ascent in the ACE range, rated to 180 kg

The ASAT ACE-24 is a battery-powered rope ascender — a personal powered elevator that drives a worker up and down a fixed rope for fast, efficient access where climbing is hard or impossible. It is the highest-capacity model in the ACE range.

It runs on an Ø11 mm EN 1891 A semi-static rope with stepless speed control, carries a rated 180 kg (397 lb) — 260 kg working load limit — and ascends at up to 30 m/min and descends at up to 40 m/min, powered or manual. The swappable battery charges in under an hour and covers roughly 700 m of alternating up/down travel — or 300 m of continuous ascent — at 150 kg. Overheat protection, an IP56 rating, a −30 to +60 °C range and 0–150 m remote control round it out.

Key specifications

  • Rated load: 180 kg (397 lb) · WLL: 260 kg
  • Ascent: 0–30 m/min · Descent: 0–40 m/min (powered or manual)
  • Rope: Ø11 mm semi-static, EN 1891 A
  • Range: ≈700 m alternating / ≈300 m continuous ascent @ 150 kg
  • Swappable battery, charge < 60 min · Remote 0–150 m · IP56 · −30 to +60 °C
  • Weight: 18 kg (40 lb) incl. battery · 31 × 23 × 35 cm

Certification: CE marked under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The ACE range is covered by EC type-examination certificate 3400220822, issued by Safenet Certification Services (Notified Body 2805).

Important: a powered ascender is a work/access device used on the working rope. It must always be used together with a separate backup fall-arrest device on an independent safety rope.

The ASAT ACE-24 in the ASAT range

The ASAT ACE-24 power ascender is the one to specify when capacity and range decide the job. Where portability matters more, the ASAT ACE-22 power ascender is backpack-sized at 10.5 kg and the ASAT ACE-51 power ascender weighs 3.5 kg without its battery. All three ASAT power ascenders run on the same Ø11 mm EN 1891 A rope.

ASAT ACE-24 · CE type-examined · Machinery Directive

Two hundred and sixty kilos, three hundred metres, minus thirty degrees.

The ACE-24 is the largest ascender ASAT builds and the highest-capacity unit we stock. It carries a rated 180 kg with a 260 kg working load limit — enough for two people with kit, or an operator bringing a casualty down — and it does it on the same Ø11 mm rope as the rest of the range.

Range is what sets it apart. One swappable battery covers 300 m of continuous climbing at 150 kg, or around 700 m of alternating up-and-down travel. That is a full turbine tower without coming off the rope, and a recharge takes under an hour.

It is rated from −30 °C to +60 °C, the widest window in the range, with overheat protection built in and an IP56 sealed body. It ships in a wheeled metal transport case, because at 18 kg you roll it to the anchor rather than carry it.

Why it stands out

Built for the jobs the others cannot take

260 kg working load limit

Rated 180 kg, with a 260 kg limit — two people with equipment, or a rescue load.

300 m of continuous ascent

At 150 kg, on one battery. Around 700 m if you are going up and down. Recharge under an hour, and the pack swaps out.

Works at −30 °C

The widest temperature window in the ACE range, from −30 °C to +60 °C.

Powered or manual descent

Descends at up to 40 m/min under power — and at the same stepless speed by hand, without power.

Overheat protection

Built into the drive, for long continuous runs under load.

IP56 and a wheeled case

Sealed against dust and powerful water jets, and it rolls to the anchor in its metal transport case.

Product overview

Range that finishes the tower

Most powered ascenders are specified by how much they lift. The ACE-24 is specified by how far it goes with that load on: 300 m of uninterrupted climbing at 150 kg, or roughly 700 m of alternating travel, on a single swappable battery that recharges in under an hour. On a turbine, that is the difference between one ascent and three.

Capacity with somewhere to put it

A 260 kg working load limit is not just a bigger number — it changes what the unit is for. Two technicians on one rope. An operator with a full tool bag and a replacement part. A rescue where the casualty comes down with the rescuer. The ACE-24 is the unit you specify when the load is not one person travelling light.

Cold, wet and long

Rated from −30 °C to +60 °C with overheat protection and an IP56 sealed body, the ACE-24 is built for the sites where the weather does not cooperate and the shift does not get shorter. It travels in a wheeled metal case with the charger and the remote, so the whole system moves as one piece.

Safety built in

A work device, on a working rope

Manual descent

Controlled lowering by hand at up to 40 m/min, stepless, without power — documented by the manufacturer for this model.

Overheat protection

The drive protects itself on long continuous runs under load.

Stepless speed control

No steps and no jolts in either direction, so the load never takes a shock it did not need.

Sealed and temperature-rated

IP56 ingress protection and a −30 °C to +60 °C operating range.

Always on an independent safety line

The ACE-24 is CE marked under the Machinery Directive as a powered access and lifting device. It is not personal protective equipment and it is not a fall arrester. It goes on the working rope; your fall-arrest device goes on a separate safety rope. No powered ascender, from any manufacturer, replaces your fall protection.

Type-examined — and clear about what it is

The ACE-24 is CE marked under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, with EC type-examination carried out by Safenet Certification Services, Notified Body 2805, certificate 3400220822.

In the case, not on request

Every unit ships with its EC Declaration of Conformity and its final inspection report — in the case, not on request.

What that means in practice

The ACE-24 is certified as a powered access and lifting device. It is not personal protective equipment and it is not certified as a fall arrester. It is used on the working rope, with an independent safety rope and a certified fall-arrest device. Any supplier who tells you otherwise is selling you a risk.

About 300 m of continuous climbing at 150 kg, or roughly 700 m of alternating ascent and descent. Recharge is under an hour and the battery swaps out, so an extra pack covers a long shift.
Yes. Manual descent is a documented function on this model, at the same stepless 0–40 m/min as powered descent.
No. It is CE marked under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC as a powered access and lifting device, not as personal protective equipment. It is used on the working rope alongside an independent safety rope fitted with a certified fall-arrest device.
Yes — EC type-examination certificate 3400220822, issued by Safenet Certification Services, Notified Body 2805. The EC Declaration of Conformity and the unit's final inspection report ship in the case.
