I’ve been in wind for fifteen-and-a-half years. I climbed pretty much the whole time until we got the Climb Auto System. What I like about this automatic climber is that I feel it has made my career longer. I was getting to a point where the daily climb was beating me down. It was just wearing on things – my shoulders, my knees, everything. I feel blessed to have the Climb Auto System now because it means I can continue to work in this job. I definitely feel that now I can stay with this job until retirement.

The Climb Auto System by 3S Lift is an amazing device that can extend the longevity of a wind turbine technician. Climbing keeps you in shape, but it also fatigues you very much. It wears out your knees and other joints. Constant climbing is really a burden to the wind tech job and pushes people out of the industry. I’d like to see more people stick around. If they had a Climb Auto System they could work in this job for a longer period of time.

What’s special about the Climb Auto System is that I feel a lot safer on it than I did in some of the Service Lifts that I rode on in the past years. I think the system is just inherently safe. I think it’s well designed, well put together, well-engineered, and it seems like it’ll last for quite a long time.
