Wind - onshore & offshore
WTG climbing access, rescue and evacuation for onshore and offshore turbines.

The wind industry has seen a massive growth in turbine construction and demand for skilled technicians. The RenewableUK accredited training course has become a standard requirement for anyone wishing to work within the UK wind industry. Accredited courses are available at many of our Height Safety Centres.

At our main site in Kendal we have a WTG training simulator with tower, hub, yaw and roof which allows training to take place in a safe, but realistic environment. A cost-effective solution preventing downtime for operators.

heightec has developed dedicated wind turbine work access equipment and rescue systems to meet the demands of wind turbine work both onshore and offshore.

The Cirrus harness has been developed following consultation with major wind turbine operators and provides technicians with a durable, cost effective solution to their harness needs. It is available separately or part of the WTG Climbers kit.

MicroPack - a compact self-contained rescue system has also been developed with the wind industry in mind, with an offshore and onshore version available. This system can be used for self rescue or rescue of others.
