Edinburgh based Limpet Technology has equipped the Windhoist training centre in Irvine with its Limpet L5 multi-function height safety and access system.
Installed at the base of Windhoist’s 25-metre-high training tower, the Limpet L5 will allow working at height trainees to experience its best-in-class climb assist capability, enabling them to ascend the ladder with only 10% of the normal effort. They may also be reassured to know that, if they slip off, they will fall a distance of less than 10mm thanks to Limpet’s Proactive Fall Prevention feature.
If worst comes to worst, and they need to be rescued, the Limpet’s in-built Rapid Remote Rescue will allow the trainer to lower them to the ground with no need for the trainer to climb to height.
Windhoist’s head trainer Jeremy Weiss said: “I’ve seen Limpet systems in action over the past few years and to my mind it’s absolutely the best climb-assist out there with its integrated fall arrest, rescue and lifting features. I’m very excited to have it here and it adds another great element to our height safety training courses”
