About Us – What is AWAH?

AWAH stands for Artisans Working At Heights — a name that embodies our commitment to professionalism, safety, and innovation for those working in elevated environments.

We are not just a brand — we are a team of engineers, rope access specialists, and safety innovators focused on solving real-world lifting and descent challenges in industrial, rescue, and maintenance sectors.

Who We Are

AWAH was founded to support professionals who work at heights — whether they are HVAC technicians, rope access operators, emergency responders, or industrial riggers. Every product we design is the result of hands-on experience, user feedback, and a relentless pursuit of safer, more efficient tools.

What is an Drill Powered Pulley?

Our core product line revolves around electric lifting and descent devices, commonly referred to as “Drill Powered Pulley.” These tools are powered by a handheld drill and are designed to raise or lower personnel or equipment with precision, safety, and ease.

Unlike traditional manual pulley systems, AWAH devices provide automated lifting, controlled descent, and advanced self-locking safety mechanisms, making them ideal for:

  • Rope access and industrial maintenance
  • Air conditioning and building facade work
  • Emergency rescue and firefighting
  • Material lifting in confined or hazardous areas
