Also in this winter the guarantor for more safety in the road traffic: The “Ice-free scaffold” enables the fast and safe cleaning of truck roofs

The last winter has shown it: Falling snow and ice mean significant danger and a high safety risk for the road traffic. Vehicle drivers must procure for that reason that the roofs of their vehicles are clean at travel start.

The “Ice-free scaffold” of KRAUSE has here the ideal solution for forwarders, petrol stations and service areas. It offers perfect service for utility vehicles, everywhere, where cleaning-, repair- or maintenance-works must be executed. The driver reaches to the top by a non-slip stair ascent in order to de-ice the roof space of this vehicle fast and comfortable from dangerous roof load. Driver and contractor will so be discharged from liability for possible accidental damages by means of falling roof loads and the road traffic will become more safe. As specialist for climbing and scaffold technology the KRAUSE-Werk of Alsfeld developed a special solution which unifies several advantages.

Who does not know this: You are driving behind a truck, during start, in a curve or during increasing the speed large quantities of snow and ice fall suddenly from the roof of the truck on the carriageway or your vehicle: A dangerous situation for all parties – often with fatal consequences. Contractor and vehicle driver are under obligation according to § 23 of the traffic regulation to clean their vehicles before start of the drive from dangerous roof load. Contractors must in addition to it teach their staff preventively. If this is not done, inconvenient consequences will occur in case of damage. These range from simple infringements to negligent bodily injury or, in the worst case, negligent homicide. Especially with utility vehicles the complete reaching of the roof space is however often difficult.

The stationary “Ice-free scaffold” is very safe due to grating steps, non-slip steel sheet platforms and a stable rail all around very safe in the usage – also in case of bad weather. The scaffold is designed as stationary scaffold and can be fitted in the length according to the space conditions. This ensures always a close drive up and an easy use. The system offers also in the summer months several applications. With an additional platform level in the height of one meter cleaning- or maintenance works on the roof space and at the sidewise body can be executed quickly and safely. The scaffold can in addition be used for works in and at buildings.
