Gemtor, when your life is on the line

Ladder Climber's Safety System

Designed for installation on fixed, permanent ladders of virtually any height, Gemtor ladder climber’s safety systems feature a safety sleeve that automatically follows the ascending and descending movements of a worker along a fixed ladder. If a slip or fall occurs, a locking mechanism engages, limiting the fall to a few inches and reducing the possibility of serious injury. 
All Gemtor ladder systems share the following common features:
  • Full-body harness
• 100' of stainless steel cable (other lengths available, 30' minimum)
• Most installations can be completed by maintenance personnel in less than one hour.

Additional sleeves can be added to the cable to accommodate more than one worker at the same time.
