Wind Energy

Silent, Strong and Flexible

The new battery operated power ascender ActSafe ACC is the result of unconventional and innovative thinking in combination with ActSafes experience in this field. The ActSafe ACC works as a personal elevator that ascends or descends standard EN 1891 rope. It enables revolutionary working methods for safe and ergonomic work at height.

Working Methods that are Gaining Ground

Operations, inspections and rescue at height are in many cases complex, expensive and time consuming. The ActSafe ACC power ascender allows this work to be carried out in a safe, efficient and economical manner. It is simply a matchless alternative for lightweight work at height. The use of ActSafe power ascenders has become a well established access method for rescue and industrial use with telecom, power, wind energy, building & construction and rope access industries. The ActSafe ACC is a durable tool for frequent use. It is easy to operate. With a powerful electric motor it offers accurate, clean and silent operation making it ideal for use in confined spaces such as a method of access in a wind turbine tower.

Advantages of the ActSafe ACC Power Ascender

• The short setup time involved means that work can be done in a manner that is quick, safe and less expensive than if performed with a traditional sky lift.
• Clean and silent operation makes the ActSafe ACC ideal for use in confined spaces.
• Improved ergonomics; repetitive climbing on ladders, rope etc. can lead to wearing injuries on knees, arms and feet. The ActSafe ACC will act as a personal elevatort that can easily ascend or descend a technician, including his gear, and hence eliminate a lot of hard climbs.
• The working method requires the user to be hanging on a rope therefore the risk for falls is reduced.
• The ActSafe ACC is a lightweight alternative to wire winches. The combination of the high lifting capacity and the sophisticated up/down control makes it perfect for lifting or dragging materials and equipment.
• ActSafe ACC can be used in places where it is impossible to use a sky lift or powered platform.
