Northern Strands is proud to announce that our Bin Safe System won 1st Place in the Agricultural Equipment category at Ag in Motion this year!
Ag in Motion celebrated their 5th Anniversary with over 30,000 people attending the 2019 show. At the show, Northern Strands featured a variety of rigging products and the Grain Bin Fall Protection System.
The Bin Safe System is inexpensive and is designed for ease of use. Users simply wear the fall protection harness, attach the lanyard to the rope grab, and climb the bin. The system is designed to mitigate the potential risks of climbing very tall grain bins.
Northern Strands' innovation was also featured on a number of podcasts. To listen to these podcasts to learn more about Bin Safe and Ag in Motion, click the following links:
