Spiders' kit

Product design

Rapid economic development has resulted in more and more city skyscrapers. In addition to this, it has created work for countless 'Spidermen'. These are the people who hang from ropes hundreds of meters above the ground in order to wash the windows of tall buildings. About 6% of these high-altitude cleaners die every year in China due to equipment failure and unsafe operation. Therefore, the key concepts behind this design are "safety", "speed" and "economy". The cleaning kit enhances the stability and comfort of the product, creating a safer and more secure working environment for high-altitude cleaners.
