At LiftWerx, we always open our doors to bright young minds. We'd like to introduce Cera, Aric, Nora, Gurman, Marissa, Imogen, Cameron, Isaac, Sonny, and Amira, most of whom are finishing internships with this LiftWerx this week. Nora, Marissa, Sonny, and Cam have already completed previous internships with LiftWerx, and we are honoured that they decided to come back to work with us for a second time.

Although we hire students from many colleges and universities across the USA and Canada, most of our interns are hired from the University of Waterloo, which offers an impressive co-op program, placing countless thousounds of students each year into good-paying jobs across a wide variety of industries. These jobs are offered around the globe. Thousands of employers such as LiftWerx rely on Waterloo's co-op program as a trusted source of young talent.

Congratulations to Andrew Collins! Yesterday, Andrew completed the Rock and Roll Half-Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee.

If life, we don't always get what we deserve. We get what we focus on. Andrew worked diligently to prepare for this race, focusing on health, fitness, and hard work, sometimes resulting in pain and setbacks along the way. But as a result of his strong focus and perseverence, he accomplished his goal.

Let's tip our hats to Andrew for achieving this milestone!

Kudos to Team 695, who just finshed this pitch bearing exchange project at a wind farm in the midwest US. After being plagued with high winds for several days, which prevented the rotor from being safely hoisted, the team took advantage of a rare occurrence of calm weather in the middle of the night. Motivated to take full advantage of the good weather, the rotor was hoisted, all cranes were dismantled, and the turbine was returned to service on the following day. Thanks for a great wrap-up, guys!

Who are these masked men? This is LiftWerx Team 708, enjoying some team-building activities at a local racetrack.

It's great to see the team's dedication to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Go-karting is a fun sport, but in the past, it was also the cause of many head, neck, and trunk injuries. These risks are considerably mitigated through the use of high-quality helmets and 3-point seatbelts. Looking good, guys!

It's been less than seven years since we deployed our first GenHook™ crane. But since that time, we've expanded our fleet to 15 GenHook™ cranes. And along the way, we've already performed complex repairs on 1,435 wind turbines.

GenHook™ cranes offer the safest, simplest, and most cost-effective way to exchange major components on wind turbines in the 1.5MW to 15MW range.

And that's why we we have 9 more GenHook™ cranes currently in production.

Rigged and ready to lift the rotor on a GE2.X-116 wind turbine, this is RotorHook™ 728, assisted by a GroundHook LTM1450. This team just wrapped up this pitch bearing exchange project in the midwest USA, and is now heading to Texas to start their next repair.

These days, our test tower in Cambridge is a busy place. The facility is used for technician training, crane maintenance, load-testing, and site acceptance testing for new cranes.

Over the next year, we'll be adding a second test tower to our facilities, allowing us to perform parallel activities. In addition, the new test tower will offer far higher payload capacity, allowing us to test and train on the larger cranes of the future.

These photos were taken last week during the testing of RotorHook™ and GenHook™ up-tower cranes. Kudos for a great job, guys!

Our work is 100% dependent on weather. All of our equipment is designed to operate within specific wind limits. So in the spirit of safety, it's paramount that we only work when weather conditions are safe to do so.

Accordingly, repairing wind turbines is not a 9-to-5 job. It's not a 5-days-per-week job, either. Our teams carefully evaluate weather conditions every day, and they strategically choose their working days and working hours in such a way to avoid unsafe weather conditions such as high winds, lightning events, extremely hot or low temperatures, and ice.

What's the result? Although our technicians have plenty of home time, our teams are scheduled to operate seven days per week. Our most critical activities are performed at any time of day, sometimes in the middle of the night, when the winds are calm. By doing so, we're able to bring assets online faster for our customers, and with higher quality.

At LiftWerx, we're putting more focus on technician training than ever before. Here's a list of training investments that we've made in 2025 and are continuing to roll out in 2026:

💡 Investments of Heli-Hook™, GenHook™, and RotorHook™ cranes which are solely utilized for training purposes

💡 Investment of the LiftWerx Academy, a new training school located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Scheduled to open in 2026, this impressive facility will be used for employee onboarding, and will include world-class facilities for technician training using up-tower crane technology

💡 New high-capacity test tower at our headquarters in Cambridge, which will augment the capabilities of our existing test tower

💡 Acquisition of three wind turbine nacelles, which are solely utilized for teaching LOTO procedures and assembly of up-tower crane systems

💡 State-of the-art GWO training tower, located in-house for teaching standard working-at-heights skills, as well as high-angle rescue techniques

💡 Expanded training courses using a variety of media, including extensive in-person classes, E-courses, and hands-on courses which utilize virtual reality environments

Training our type of work isn't easy. Not only do we work with proprietary equipment which isn't found elsewhere, all of our work is located in remote locations and in extreme industrial environments.

These new training facilities and investments will enable us to raise the bar once again, so that when new technicians are deployed to the field, they are set up for success.

Welcome to sunny Kansas, the Sunflower State. Renowned as the "Breadbasket of the World" for its massive wheat production, Kansas is also a Top 5 state in the USA with respect to wind energy production. Located at the geographical center of the contiguous USA, Kansas presently boasts a wind power capacity of close to 9GW, producing around 25 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually from wind sources.

At the moment, LiftWerx has two large corrective teams working in Kansas, including Team 695, who are performing pitch bearing exchanges on this GE2.8-127 wind turbine.

Congratulations to the Callisburg Wildcats, an 8u baseball team who are playing very well this season in north Texas. Remmy, the handsome player at top left, is 9 years old, and his dad is a longstanding member of the LiftWerx team.

At LiftWerx, we work hard to ensure that all our employees have plenty of home time, so that they can balance their work lives with family, friends, and hobbies.

Making a good living is an important necessity in life. But what's even more important is to participate in special and timeless family moments, like watching the Callisburg Wildcats hit home runs.

After working with a Liftra LT-1000 crane for several years, this longstanding LiftWerx team recently upgraded to a brand new GenHook™ crane.

What are the benefits of a GenHook™ crane compared to the previous Liftra technology? This list is impressive. GenHook™ cranes offer the following benefits to our teams:

💡 No winch on the ground
💡 Simpler assembly process
💡 Lower capital investment
💡 25% higher lifting capacity, more suitable for larger wind turbines
💡 Highly-reliable wireless controls, which avoid wifi systems
💡 No need to install the container in the adjacent field beside the tower
💡 Crane mats are rarely required
💡 All crane systems are fully-electric and carbon-free (no diesel engines)

Our Liftra crane has been sold, and we're happy to announce that, going forward, all LiftWerx teams are now operating the most modern and efficient up-tower cranes in the industry, with fleets entirely comprised of RotorHook™ and GenHook™ cranes.
