TetherLock - The future of tool safety

Tool tethering system for industrial climbers

TetherLock is an innovative tethering system that allows industrial climbers to secure their tools in a safe and efficient way. By storing unused tools on a base connected to the harness and only tethering the actively used tools, TetherLock streamlines tool handling and reduces clutter. At the core of this is the TetherLock mechanism that is integrated into the tools and allows the technician to easily switch from storage to actively tethered in a matter of seconds. During this process, the tool is always connected, which ensures maximum safety.
