KRAUSE access technology stands for quality, innovation and safety, from standard products to specially developed customised solutions. KRAUSE demonstrates its strength particularly in the area of customisation: the company develops tailor-made solutions for demanding tasks that are specifically tailored to customer requirements and guarantee reliable safety and efficiency even under the most difficult conditions.
KRAUSE 360° competence: Comprehensive service for maximum safety and efficiency
Good service makes the difference, as the KRAUSE 360° competence shows. Whether purchasing a ladder, planning and assembling complex customised solutions, product inspections and seminars on occupational safety or supporting the specialist trade - with KRAUSE, users have a reliable and competent partner at their side.
The KRAUSE 360° competence concept bundles the company's expertise in all areas and provides customers with comprehensive support - from the initial consultation and planning, through precise delivery and installation, to regular maintenance and inspection. This concept not only offers maximum safety and efficiency, but also sustainable added value for companies and users.
KRAUSE ACADEMY: Knowledge and safety from a single source
A particular focus is on the KRAUSE ACADEMY, an innovative training programme that includes training courses and seminars for specialists. The practice-orientated training and further education courses not only provide in-depth knowledge about the safe handling and professional use of access technology, but also address legal requirements and industry-specific challenges. With specially developed modules and experienced trainers, the KRAUSE ACADEMY offers invaluable added value for companies that value safety and expertise. The aim of the KRAUSE ACADEMY seminars is to impart comprehensive specialist knowledge that enables participants to carry out regular inspections and the safe provision of work equipment independently.
In addition to the seminars, which take place nationwide in attractive hotels or directly at the KRAUSE factory, the access technology professionals also offer on-site seminars customised to the company. The access technology products used in the company are integrated into the seminar to ensure maximum practical relevance - from the practical execution of a ladder inspection to the assembly of the existing rolling tower. In addition to training your employees to become "qualified persons", the individual seminars can also be used as instruction or user training for users of access technology and as product training for dealers.
KRAUSE INSPECT: Safety through expert testing
For all companies that do not have a "qualified person" themselves or whose "qualified person" is unable to attend, KRAUSE offers professional inspection of work equipment as an on-site inspection service. KRAUSE inspectors visit companies, carry out the inspections and prepare the necessary inspection documents. The range of inspection includes ladders, steps, mobile scaffolding (mobile working platforms), fixed ladders, tanker ladders, ice-free scaffolding, customised solutions, shelving systems, power-operated windows, doors and gates, forklifts, PPE against falls from a height, fall protection systems and stationary electrical systems and machines.
The service includes inspection work equipment for proper condition in accordance with statutory regulations, preparing legally compliant inspection documentation including digital inventory, testing the completeness and effectiveness of safety equipment, testing the completeness of labelling and signage, compliance with the inspection logbook and affixing inspection stickers.
Product innovations: Innovations for the future
As every year, KRAUSE has once again developed exciting new products to complement the range in 2024. These include the telescopic step ladders, which can be used on landings and stairs thanks to four extendable rail extensions. Available in single and double-sided versions, they have all the product benefits that also characterise the conventional versions of these step ladders.
The newly developed, mobile, single-sided telescopic platform ladder SkyMatic is an indispensable tool for working safely and comfortably at different heights. Thanks to the generous standing platform and the all-round guardrail, it offers maximum safety and ease of use. Certified to DIN EN 131-7 and specially designed for professional use, the ladder combines the highest safety standards with optimum functionality. Thanks to the patented ClickMatic-System, the height-adjustable platform ladder enables convenient and smooth adjustment of the working height and offers different working heights in one version.
In addition to these new ladder variants, numerous access technology accessories have also been added to the KRAUSE portfolio. For example, the practical bucket hook, which can be hooked into the flanged steps or rungs before the ladder is erected. The ability to attach tools and materials directly to the ladder makes work easier for the user, as they do not have to constantly climb up and down to reach the required items. This saves time and reduces potential distractions. By attaching tools and materials securely to the ladder, the risk of accidents caused by falling objects is minimised. This not only protects employees, but also people and objects in the vicinity of the construction site.
In addition, KRAUSE is now cooperating with wosatec to offer its customers state-of-the-art digital solutions for the inspection and documentation of work equipment. The strategic partnership combines 360° occupational safety expertise with wosatec's innovative technologies and focuses on paperless inspection processes. The benefits include equipping KRAUSE products with wosatec labels, automatic inspection interval reminders, digital work equipment management and the direct availability of labels and licences via KRAUSE. This innovation increases efficiency, safety and sustainability: work equipment can be managed via ID tags, assigned to locations and inspection reports can be created as PDFs. The wosatec web app also enables offline inspections and ensures that inspection documents are always up to date - a pioneering step in terms of occupational safety and environmental protection.
