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.”
