PowerQuick - Powered Personnel Ascender

PowerQuick is a safe, cost-efficient tool that can allow a person to scale surfaces with a variety of loads or haul equipment via a remote control. When it comes to scaling vertical surfaces, a large percentage of tasks only require lifting a person and their tools or other load. 

The primary methods typically available are the use of large lifts, hoists and other equipment. This can be very costly and is overkill for many jobs. The other alternatives available are standard climbing techniques, which employ ropes, pulleys or winches, brute strength and stamina to hand-climb to the top. This poses the potential for fatigue, lowering productivity, and, in the worst case, personal injury.

Both PowerQuick models showcased are compatible with standard climbing gear and designed for use with static (low stretch) 11 or 12.7mm kernmantle rope.
