Effectiveness and occupational safety in the maintenance and production of commercial vehicles

Access solutions for buses, trains and other commercial vehicles play a central role in commercial vehicle production and the transport industry, particularly in terms of safety and efficiency. These systems include a variety of technical and structural devices that facilitate access to the vehicles, be it for boarding and alighting passengers, for maintenance and servicing work or for access to specific vehicle areas.

As a renowned provider of access solutions, KRAUSE offers a wide range of customised solutions that are specifically tailored to the requirements of bus, rail and commercial vehicle operators. The individual KRAUSE aluminium solutions for trains, buses and trucks range from simple bridging steps to complex service units. These solutions offer flexible, safe and convenient access for working under, above and to the side of vehicles. For work that is carried out over a longer period of time, large, stable and comfortable work areas offer protection against fatigue and prevent postural damage during work.  

Flexibly expandable thanks to modular system 

A key aspect of the KRAUSE solutions is the modular design, which allows flexible adaptation to the specific requirements and conditions on site. The access solutions can be designed for both mobile and stationary use. Particularly noteworthy are the customised platforms and stair systems, which are optimised for access to different vehicle heights and areas. These systems are equipped with non-slip surfaces, handrails and other safety features to ensure the highest safety standards. 

The modular system was specially developed to be able to react flexibly to changing customer requirements and needs. It enables simple customisation and expansion of existing access solutions without the need for a completely new development. This allows companies to optimise their investments and at the same time ensure that their access systems always meet the latest technical and security requirements. The KRAUSE modular system offers a wide range of components and modules that can be individually combined and configured to create customised solutions for each specific application. Whether it is a matter of integrating additional platforms, railings or access steps or extending existing systems with new functions such as automatic entry control, crane integration or collision detection - the flexibility and adaptability of the KRAUSE modular system ensures that every access is perfectly tailored to the specific operational requirements and spatial conditions. This makes the modular system an indispensable tool for companies focussing on long-term flexibility and efficiency. 

Efficient access solutions for the production process and for areas that are difficult to access  

Access solutions must be flexible to ensure a smooth and effective production process. KRAUSE offers mobile access solutions such as mobile maintenance platforms and stairs, which are particularly important in the railway sector. These mobile systems enable fast and safe access to vehicles, regardless of whether they are on the track or in maintenance halls. Thanks to their mobility, they can be used flexibly and quickly at different locations, which is particularly advantageous for companies with large vehicle fleets. 

Mobile access solutions can also be used in flow production, where they can follow the production flow along the entire production line, using access ladders and work platforms specially adapted to the local conditions. KRAUSE also offers special solutions for accessing the roof areas of buses and trains, which are often difficult to access. These roof working platforms offer a stable and safe stand and are easy to operate. They are particularly suitable for maintenance and repair work on the vehicle roof, such as servicing air conditioning systems or installing roof edges. 

KRAUSE customised solutions - as individual as their users 

Thanks to innovative production techniques and the connection of PLC controls, KRAUSE realises solutions such as flexible contour adjustments to avoid fall points on complicated track contours through to the complete control of a special construction. Your individual access systems are also characterised by a wide range of equipment options, ranging from different coverings and railing types to extensive electrification options for height adjustments and contour adjustments to the design of components in RAL colours. 

The areas of application for KRAUSE access systems are diverse. In the bus industry, they are often used in depots and maintenance facilities to provide access to the upper areas of vehicles for inspections, maintenance and repairs. In rail transport, they are used both in railway stations and in special maintenance hangars, where they facilitate access to wagons and locomotives. KRAUSE systems are also in demand in the commercial vehicle industry, especially for large lorries and other special vehicles, to ensure efficient and safe maintenance processes.
