Base Station Hydraulic Lifter
Telecom Lifters provides an alternative approach to using a crane for lifting a base station. The Telecom Lifters unit is hand carried to the rooftop to be assembled rigidly onto the base station. A small motor provides hydraulic power to lift the base station while a crew completes work below the unit, such as installing a battery backup cabinet or fixing a leak in the roof. The amount of power needed to lift and lower the base station is roughly equivalent to heating a cup of tea in a microwave oven. www.telecomlifters.com |

A rescue kit for workers at height, the TR may be used for assisted rescue where the subject is lowered alone or suspended rescue where the rescuer and rescue subject are lowered together.
