LOWESTOFT SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION CENTRE


POWERED CLIMB ASSIST SYSTEM Capital Safety’s DBI-SALA branded Powered Climb Assist System is ideally suited to extremely tall structures like wind turbines, which often have a fixed ladder installed inside the tower instead of a lift. Climbing the ladder several times in a single shift can be extremely tiring for maintenance engineers.


TRIALING THE SYSTEM Survitec’s wind energy relevant team members are trained and qualified experts in the system, and in other rescue and evacuation systems, so that they can provide clients with the prerequisite training. As a result, Survitec has been given access to Capital Safety’s dedicated wind turbine training facility. This will allow clients to trial the systems before placing an order.
