Tower Climbing with Next Generation Climb Assist
Limpet® systems are the only truly integrated tower climbing safety products on the market. Combining best in class powered climb assist, with fall prevention, work positioning, rescue, and evacuation features, deploying Limpet® is the best route to healthier, happier and more productive turbine technicians.

- Faster access via personnel lifting to top of blade rather than climbing internal tower to descend via ropes
- Easy and exertion free tool for ascent and descent. Inspectors are fresher and more productive
- Avoids any daily climbing limit restrictions that might impact blade inspection schedule
- Rapid rescue by lowering from main control unit in event of emergency. No need for rescuers to go to height
- Usable in wet weather conditions; no slip risk coming over hub as with normal rope access inspection
- Simple and fast to rig and derig
