News For Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.

Leading Edge Attachments, Inc. Goes to Mount Everest Base Camp!

Mike Carney at Mount Everest

Michael Carney, an investor in, and a board member of Leading Edge Attachments, Inc., hiked to Mount Everest Base Camp.

"There are many challenges to using the LEA attachments here around Mount Everest.

- There is not much automation here, like none, everything is done by hand.

- The trails are only suitable for people, yaks, and horses. No bikes, or any motorized vehicles are capable of using the trails leading up to base camp.

- Getting the heavy attachments here must be done by helicopter.

I have no doubt that LEA attachments could be used here but it may be many years before changes are made to make this happen."

Picture below is of Base Camp rocks and ice, that would be easily handled by LEA attachments
