Tower Talks With Inside Towers

Tower climbing has been cited as one of the most dangerous jobs anywhere. Even though industry associations and government agencies go to great lengths to establish safety standards and practices, working above ground level is still dangerous.Beyond just working at heights, a big part of the problem is the physical toll that climbing up and down tall structures demands. Fatigue becomes a critical factor and raises the risk level for workers.Tools are available to assist climbers in a variety of at-height work activities on cell towers, wind turbines, utility high-power transmission towers, and more.Bryant Bertrand, CEO of Ronin Revolution has been instrumental in developing such tools. He discusses with John Celentano, Inside Towers’ Business Editor, his company’s invention of, and applications for, the Ronin Lift, an ascender product designed to assist climbers.Support the show
