What you need to know about ICX Hire
To get the most from your ICX hire, it’s important to consider a few key factors. Device care is essential, protecting the unit from dust, debris, and impacts will extend its life. Proper battery management through correct charging cycles ensures maximum performance, while compatible equipment such as approved ropes, ELR/PLR lifting lines, and battery tethers must always be used.
Most importantly, user competence is critical for both safety and equipment longevity.
For this reason, we strongly recommend completing the Skylotec-accredited ICX Training Course, available through REAX at our dedicated UK training centre or delivered directly on-site nationwide.
REAX is an accredited provider of the ICX training courses across the UK.
