CLIMB AUTO SYSTEM
ECONOMIC VALUE CALCULATOR

The 3S Lift Climb Auto System can add considerable value to your wind turbine project. The CAS eliminates the need for climbing completely, improving Health & Safety and increasing wind technician employee retention. Installing the 3S Lift CAS results in more tower ascents and increased uptime and AEP. Compare the CAS with installing a Climb Assist or a Service Lift and find out how much economic value the CAS can create for you!
