Just a few years ago, fitters and mechanics rarely had to climb onto the roof of a bus, but today the picture has changed completely. Newer generation buses are equipped with air conditioning systems, hydrogen and natural gas tanks or countless batteries. All these tanks and modules have to be maintained, replaced and, if necessary, refuelled and are almost exclusively located on the roofs of the respective vehicles. Safe and efficient access is therefore essential.

Customised work platforms made to measure

The options for roof work stands and work platforms from the KRAUSE factory are as varied as the commercial vehicles themselves. Stationary or mobile, height-adjustable or with a fixed working height. From the supposedly simple mobile work platform to the fully automatic, electrically adjustable version with loading crane, which fits the entire bus with millimetre precision. KRAUSE develops customised access solutions for every customer, tailored to their needs and space conditions. Supply connections for electricity and compressed air further increase efficiency. From the choice of step and platform coverings to the individual powder coating of the components in CI colours, all the customer's wishes can be taken into account if technically feasible.

But KRAUSE constructions are not only a great help in the maintenance and repair of commercial vehicles, KRAUSE access technology is also used in the assembly of vehicles in modern production lines. Be it as a permanently installed roof working platform, as a crossover for short distances or as a mobile construction in flow production. KRAUSE solutions increase work safety and efficiency, reduce employee downtime and thus contribute to a better working environment.

From the first meeting to acceptance - everything from a single source

Whatever the requirements in the industry, KRAUSE products adapt perfectly to the conditions - whether for an existing assembly hall or production line or for initial commissioning. The project team ensures this right from the initial on-site analysis in dialogue with the customer. When planning new roof work stands, many aspects of occupational safety must be taken into account, which must be guaranteed for all possible work situations. Optimising access and workplace design is therefore a worthwhile investment for employees and their work processes. During the realisation and after-sales phase, KRAUSE is also available to its customers at all times as part of its 360° competence, providing an insight into the current project status and offering comprehensive service support.

At BUS2BUS in Berlin, KRAUSE employees are looking forward to many interesting discussions and a lively exchange with manufacturers, bus companies and interested trade visitors.
