Snap-on Industrial Product: Tools@Height Drop Prevention
Application: Elevated work
Description: Snap-on works with their customers to determine the tools, attachment points, lanyards, pouches, and holsters needed for
a turnkey drop-prevention solution. Tools are configured to achieve
a reliable system that meets individual safety standards. Snap-on engineers and certifies attachment points that maintain tool functionality and are significantly more durable than “add-ons” which require assembly, frequent maintenance, and replacement. With 70% of drops occurring during tool exchange, Snap-on Tools@Height employs independent tethering to eliminate exchanges. This practice allows tools to be removed from, and returned to holsters or pouches using one hand, maintaining “three points of contact” when working at height.

Power Climber Wind Product: IBEX 1000P Climb Assist
Application: Intelligent climb assist for wind turbine technicians
Description: The IBEX 1000 climb assist system delivers personalized performance, increased safety, and better productivity.The IBEX 1000 allows user-adjustable support settings from 50
to 125lb (25 to 55kg), and provides constant load support, in both the up and down directions, regardless of climbing speed. These ride settings are stored in a load sensing EasyClimb Controller (ECC), attached between the climber and the belt, and can be changed at any time and anywhere. Motor power is controlled by signals from the ECC, which communicates climber behavior to adapt motor output for a consistent, comfortable climb. The motor responds to the climber rather than the climber responding to a constant speed and torque motor.
