Because OSHA requires workers to maintain three points of contact when climbing ladders, the current method of carrying solar modules by hand creates both safety and compliance challenges. The Fluke PV Module Lift addresses this issue by providing a simple, reliable method for lifting solar panels to rooftops with an existing extension ladder.</p>     <p>&#34;Solar installers shouldn&#39;t have to choose between productivity and safety,&#34; said Will White, Senior Solar Product Manager at Fluke Corporation. &#34;The Fluke Module Lift gives crews a simple, practical way to move solar modules onto rooftops while reducing physical strain, supporting OSHA ladder safety requirements, and eliminating the complexity, cost, and setup time associated with traditional powered hoists. It&#39;s a solution that easily solves a challenge installers face every day.&#34;</p>     <p>Unlike traditional ladder hoists – commonly adapted from the roofing industry – the Fluke Module Lift requires no gas engine, electrical power source, or bulky equipment. The compact system fits easily in a service vehicle, sets up quickly, and costs significantly less than many powered alternatives, making it an ideal solution for residential and light commercial solar installations.</p>     <p>The Module Lift&#39;s patent module hook securely grips the frame of a solar panel to prevent lateral movement during lifting. Integrated ladder ramps help panels move smoothly over ladder transitions, while a built-in braking mechanism prevents the module from sliding back down the ladder if the lifting rope is released prematurely.</p>     <p><b>Key Benefits of the Fluke PV Module Lift&#x2122;</b></p>     <p>   </p>  <ul><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:6pt;">Supports OSHA ladder safety requirements by eliminating the need to carry solar panels up ladders</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:6pt;">Reduces worker fatigue and physical strain during rooftop installations</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:6pt;">Sets up in less than five minutes by a single installer</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:6pt;">Lightweight, rugged, and easy to transport</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:6pt;">Compatible with existing Werner or Louisville fiberglass extension ladders</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:6pt;">Requires no electricity, fuel, or external power source</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:6pt;">Available with 60-foot and 80-foot rope configurations</li></ul>  <p>   </p>  <p>For more information about the Fluke TMPV2 Module Lift, please visit  <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=YMCIp2muP_cxFwJeBgSdp57RkX0gs6It7c8kCZjTKsSsMdUo_dICb79Koe2NwuZC8j2sFzumuN8AynNSZZ006k0CK28PfJjkkQ69GqViXzqPLFIcRguJqefLclu5Bjq3e0D7RAr2TTbgnq_xdRpmpxJs5OPNGOnQmw4SPBJgIhXxUd9wA49OSaZj0d_j8nGX8HwOUwI47gogvFepXrfVmw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fluke PV Module Lift</a>. </p>  <p><b>About Fluke</b> <br></br>Founded in 1948, Fluke Corporation is the world leader in compact, professional electronic test tools and software for measuring and condition monitoring.
