Lift and Access magazine has announced the innovative new products recognised as the top scorers in its Leadership in Lifting Equipment and Aerial Platforms (LLEAP) competition for 2014.  The Latchways Personal Rescue Device won the category of 'Aftermarket Support Products or Services' which covers 'products and services developed and sold specifically for end users'.

The judges made their evaluations of entries based on product literature, photographs, videos, technical drawings, and customer testimonials. The panellists judged each LLEAP entry on:

  • Innovation: Is this an innovative product?
  • Influence: Will this influence the market in a positive way?
  • Benefit: Will this product benefit the owner and/or operator?
  • Leadership: Is the manufacturer a leader in the industry?

The judges' comments on the Latchways PRD were:

"Self-activated system shortens rescue time and reduces risk to rescuers." and "A 'must' for anyone working alone at height."
