Column Climber’s patented design and function directly tackles many problems that face those who work in the structural steel industry: how to improve safety dramatically while also improving their productivity, convenience, and comfort. Column Climber also reduces reliance on slow and expensive positioning equipment (aerial lifts, ladders, etc) and can simplify the need for complex fall protectio
n systems in the first place. Column Climber’s wrap-around heel bar and high-temp, cut-resistant straps with quick-connect buckles allow you to securely step-in and step-out in seconds. The inclined jaw design allows Column Climber’s vise-like lock-and-release action to function intuitively with your body’s natural stepping-climbing motion, making ascending or descending a column as natural and easy as climbing stairs. It’s high-strength 514 steel footframe, engineered to support over 700 pounds per foot (model CC02 & CC13) supports the entire length of your foot eliminating any leg or foot fatigue during regular or extended use. Slip-resistant rubber soles permit sure-footed movement over typical jobsite surfaces like decking and concrete. Column Climber's grip is not impaired by mud, dirt, grease, water, ice, or even asphaltic coating on the steel. The leverage force applied by each foot is so intense that it cannot be dislodged by a sledgehammer blow (based on factory testing). When used with our exclusive Column Claw and T-Lanyard products, a worker can achieve unrestricted vertical mobility, 100% tie-off, and +/- 2-0 foot fall arrest. Column Climber™ allows a steel worker to securely and comfortably stand upright and work with two hands free, positioning himself correctly and safely to connect, bolt-up, weld, or inspect, increasing safety while at the same time increasing productivity. The need for costly aerial man lifts and even ladders is diminished because Column Climber™ can be used in many instances where formerly there was no other option. Column Climber focuses on direct, personal steel worker fall prevention, believing that it is preferable to never fall than to be protected after the fact.
