Climb Auto System Expanding Across North America

3S LIFT marks the milestone of 10,000 Climb Auto Systems sold in the United States and Canada. Owner-operators have retrofitted over 160 wind farms, improving wind technicians’ health and safety and enabling improved turbine operational efficiencies.

The Climb Auto System, a single-technician ladder-mounted lift, enables technicians to reach the top of turbine towers without putting strain on their muscles or joints. Keeping technicians healthy and vibrant reduces turnover costs and enhances technician retention. This innovative system can transport people and objects to the top of an 80-meter tower in five minutes and be installed on existing ladders in only 8 hours without costly structural changes. Employing this streamlined climb helps decrease the climbing duration and increase AEP (annual energy production) and turbine uptime.
