International Climbing Machines (ICM)
We Make Climbing Robots
World Leader in Vacuum Held Robots
Climb, Clean & Capture
ICM has developed a technology to radically alter how elevated height work is performed. Our portable, remote-controlled devices can scale virtually any vertical or inverted surface, and, because they are operated safely from the ground, humans are not exposed to dangerous heights or to dangerous chemical or toxin environs.
Our machines can climb walls, tanks, ships, building structures, dams, towers, etc.
ICM Climbing Robots
Faster • Safer • Smarter
Let The Robot Do It
Perfect for Hazardous and Dangerous Missions
ICM machines can be employed on an array of dangerous missions, such as: lead paint removal, surface decontamination, removal of radiological, chemical and biological agents.
ICM machines may also be utilized to perform testing, inspections and surveys.
