In industrial and production plants, efficiency is often the key to economic success. Nevertheless, delays in the operating process are not uncommon - for example, when machines can only be reached via improvised or temporary access aids, resulting in safety risks. Bypassing obstacles such as conveyor belts or pipework also unnecessarily lengthens routes and costs valuable time. Maintenance work on vehicles or large systems becomes a challenge if no suitable work platforms are available. At the same time, rigid access systems that cannot be adapted to changing production conditions quickly lead to expensive new purchases. The sum of these everyday problems affects not only safety but also productivity, and yet they are avoidable.

Mobile and height-adjustable work platform with staircase from KRAUSE

Customised solutions that think ahead

KRAUSE offers customised access technology solutions that are precisely tailored to the needs of industrial environments. Whether stationary or mobile, as platform stairs, crossovers or accessible maintenance platforms - every design is made of high-quality aluminium, complies with the applicable standards (including DIN EN ISO 14122) and combines stability with low weight. The focus is not on the product, but on the solution: safe working at all levels, relief for employees and a significant improvement in operational processes. If required, the constructions can also be fitted with suitable accessories such as tool trays or additional safety features in order to optimally fulfil the respective application requirements.

Crossovers as an efficiency factor in the material flow

A classic example of this philosophy are individually planned crossovers. In many companies, conveyor systems, pipe routes or machine components are permanent obstacles that force employees to take detours, often involving hundreds of metres of walking per shift. A precisely dimensioned crossover shortens these distances in the long term, reduces physical strain and increases cycle times in production and logistics. In a production plant in the food industry, for example, several walkways over fully automated packaging lines could be safely bridged, significantly improving the flow of personnel while minimising the risk of accidents.

Mobile platform solutions for maintenance and servicing

Flexible height access is particularly important when servicing or converting machines - especially if no structural facilities are available or work is frequently carried out in different locations. This is where mobile platform stairs and working platforms from KRAUSE come into play, which can be perfectly adapted to different requirements thanks to castors, central brakes and optional height adjustment. Depending on the version, height adjustment can be carried out manually using crank mechanisms or electrically at the touch of a button. For example, an international plant manufacturer uses mobile platforms for the maintenance of vehicle-mounted systems, where the access heights vary depending on the model. The customised solutions from KRAUSE have not only improved working comfort, but also reduced set-up times by more than 20%. In addition, the work platforms can also be used as travelling constructions in flow production, for example to actively support assembly or testing processes along the production line.

Constructions that grow with you for dynamic production environments

What fits today may have to be rethought tomorrow - many production environments change due to conversions, new machines or modified processes. KRAUSE takes these dynamics into account right from the planning phase: the modular designs can be extended, relocated or converted as required without losing safety or stability. This not only creates a long-term solution, but also a real investment advantage.

Safety and efficiency are not a contradiction in terms

Especially in an industrial environment, safety doesn't cost money - it saves money. Accidents caused by improper access to heights, physical overload due to long distances or inefficient maintenance procedures lead to downtime and consequential costs. These risks can be consistently minimised with well thought-out access technology solutions. Systems from KRAUSE not only create safe workplaces, but also actively contribute to increasing productivity - through shorter distances, safe access and better working conditions.

Customised access technology - a benefit all along the line

Where standard solutions are not enough, experience, flexibility and an understanding of industrial processes are required. KRAUSE combines all this into customised access technology systems that intelligently combine safety and efficiency. For safety officers a reliable tool for accident prevention - for purchasers a sustainable contribution to process optimisation and economic efficiency.
