ICM International Climbing Machines

World Leader in Suction Held Robots

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.
