Skylotec ACX Hire: Safe, Certified, and Ready for Your Project

When you hire equipment, you want more than just the gear itself, you want confidence, protection, and expert support from start to finish.

Our Skylotec ACX hire service delivers exactly that. Whether you’re looking to trial a power ascender before committing to purchase, or you have a short-term project where buying isn’t cost-effective, our ACX hire options give you the flexibility you need.

Why Choose REAX for Skylotec ACX Hire?

We’re proud to be accredited by the Hire Association Europe (HAE) and certified under their SafeHire scheme, the UK benchmark for excellence in hire operations.

That means when you hire from us, you benefit from:

  • Regular inspection and testing of all hire equipment to the highest standards.
  • Qualified, experienced support from our trained team.
  • Rigorous health, safety, and environmental policies in place for every hire.
  • External audits to ensure continuous compliance and improvement.

This isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about ensuring you’re working with safe, reliable, well-maintained kit that’s backed by a company committed to your success.

ACX Hire for Short or Long-Term Use

The ActSafe ACX Power Ascender is trusted in rope access, rescue, and industrial work-at-height projects worldwide.

Hiring an ACX is ideal for:

  • Short-term jobs where purchase isn’t practical.
  • Project trials before investing in your own unit.
  • Seasonal or peak workload demands.

We offer both short-term and long-term hire packages to suit your needs — all with the same high standard of service and maintenance.

Key Considerations When Hiring an ACX

When you hire an ACX, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Device Care - Keep it protected from dust, debris, and impacts.
  • Battery Management - Proper charging cycles extend battery life and performance.
  • Associated Equipment - Use approved ELR and PLR lifting ropes, plus battery tethers for safety.
  • User Competence – Operators should be properly trained to ensure safety and maintain equipment condition.

We highly recommend that all ACX hire customers complete the Skylotec-accredited ACX training course. As an accredited provider, REAX can deliver this training across the UK.
