"I am impressed that
a battery operated device can do what this one does. "

We found your product to
be extremely useful and innovative. We rigged a
rappel/ascend setup off the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge
which carries Interstate 71 over the 200 ft deep Little
Miami River Valley in Lebanon, Ohio.
Everyone was
comfortable with the safety and reliability of the
device. Ropes were easy to rig in the device.
We got over 800 ft of
ascending on a charge, battery life was good.
Universally,
people said it was much easier to pull the trigger and
ascend 200 ft than doing it the old fashioned manual
way.
Steve Byrum, president of GMT Service Corp in Houston Texas
sent us some video from one of his tower jobs. In this video Field
Manager Adrienne Quinn uses the PowerQuick ascender with a spreader bar and the remote
control to allow full access to the work site. GMT has been instrumental in
helping us identify and develop solutions specific to the tower industry.
