LEEA award winner

A height access and fall prevention system has won the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association's inaugural Product Innovation Award.

Developed by Limpet Technology and distributed in the UK by Lift Turn Move (LTM), the Limpet L5 is a portable, multifunction unit that combines powered climb assistance for personnel working at height with integrated fall prevention, rescue and evacuation capabilities.

John Jones, MD for LTM, said: "We have only been marketing the Limpet L5 for a matter of months and the response has been extremely positive.

It is particularly useful in applications that put a real strain on workers in terms of climbing, such as stage rigging and wind turbine maintenance.

This award underlines what a major step forward the Limpet represents in terms of both speed and safety."
