A Legacy of Excellence: Lock Jaw Ladder Grip Named Finalist in the 2019 Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards

Success doesn’t happen overnight. Long before the Lock Jaw Ladder Grip became a global safety phenomenon, we were hard at work proving that a backyard invention from Brisbane could take on the world. A pivotal moment in our journey was being named a finalist in the 2019 Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards.

This recognition served as an early "stamp of approval" for our international strategy, acknowledging our growth in the global marketplace and our commitment to Queensland’s manufacturing excellence.

The 2019 Premier’s Export Awards celebrate companies that demonstrate excellence in international trade. For Lock Jaw Ladder Grip, being named a finalist was more than just a title; it was validation of our mission: to make working at heights safer for everyone, everywhere.

The Road to Global Safety

  • Scalability

  • Innovation

  • Resilience

Why Looking Back Matters

While we have since gone on to win the e-Commerce category in 2025 and secure other major honors like the Best of IBS™ Awards, our status as a 2019 finalist remains a foundation of our story. It represents the moment we shifted from "local tool" to "global solution."

For our customers and partners, this legacy of award-winning performance provides peace of mind. When you invest in a Lock Jaw Ladder Grip, you aren't just buying a clamp—you are buying a product that has been consistently vetted and praised by industry experts and government trade bodies for over half a decade.
