KRAUSE niche products – specialised solutions for special requirements

Not every working environment can be optimally equipped with standard products. In many industries, individual requirements for function, safety and ergonomics are crucial. KRAUSE has been known for decades as one of the leading manufacturers in the field of access technology and, in addition to extensive series solutions, also develops specialised niche products. These are tailored to specific occupational groups, application environments and operating conditions. These include shelf ladders, roof and chimney sweeper ladders, plastic ladders, the TeleBoard-System, guardrail systems and robust aluminium boxes – each a precise response to special requirements.

The innovative KRAUSE TeleBoard in use

Shelf ladders – efficient and safe access to shelving systems

KRAUSE shelf ladders enable safe access to heights in archives, order picking warehouses and sales areas. They are made of lightweight, sturdy aluminium and are available in various designs. The hook-on version can be easily removed and stowed away when not in use. Alternatively, it can be moved to the parking position if it has four hooks. The rollable version, on the other hand, is permanently guided on the rail system and can be easily moved along the shelf. There are different types of rails to choose from for installation: a classic round tube rail, a T-rail and a round tube solution for double shelves, where the ladder can be used on both sides. This creates a flexibly configurable system that adapts precisely to the existing shelf structure and promotes efficient workflows.

Job-specific ladders – precisely tailored to craft requirements

KRAUSE offers special ladders for various trades that are precisely tailored to the respective activities. Roof ladders, for example, enable safe access to sloping roof surfaces. They are designed to adapt optimally to the shape of the roof, distribute the load evenly and provide a slip-resistant, stable standing surface. Available in aluminium, wood or a combination of aluminium and wood, they can be selected to suit the respective requirements. These features are particularly indispensable for roofers and solar installers, as their work often takes place at great heights and in changing weather conditions.

Chimney sweeper ladders are permanently installed on the roof and provide chimney sweeps with safe and standard-compliant access to the chimney. Their semi-circular rungs ensure that the ladder rests securely on different roof pitches and that the user maintains a stable footing. The 90-millimetre-high side rail ensures that the prescribed minimum distance of 60 millimetres between the rung and the roof surface is maintained. This is crucial for a safe footing. As the ladders are available in natural aluminium as well as in red, brown and anthracite, they can be colour-coordinated with the existing roof and blend in inconspicuously with the building envelop.

In addition to these specialist solutions, KRAUSE also offers plastic ladders, which are available with either plastic rails or as a solid plastic construction. They are available as leaning ladders, extension ladders or double ladders and are suitable for work areas where an electrically insulating ladder structure or the absence of metal components is required.

TeleBoard – variable work surface for large-area tasks

The TeleBoard-System expands the KRAUSE portfolio with a telescopic working platform that offers advantages wherever larger areas need to be worked on efficiently. Whether for interior work, painting, assembly or even outdoor work such as cutting hedges. The design can be extended to various lengths and creates a stable standing surface that is much more comfortable to use than conventional planks. The board can be used on step ladders, hinged ladders or other suitable supports. Slip-resistant mats ensure a secure footing. By using optional components such as the BoardStand and TeleSet, the system can be expanded into a free-standing and height-adjustable platform. The closed profile design prevents dirt from entering and makes cleaning easier, while the construction allows for a high load capacity. This provides a flexibly adaptable solution for painting, assembly or gardening work, which speeds up work processes and significantly increases stability.

Guardrail system – Flexible protection for traffic and work areas

The KRAUSE guardrail system provides reliable protection for walkways, work platforms and access points in technical facilities and operational environments. Thanks to their modular design, the elements can be adapted to different route layouts and installation situations. Post spacing, fastening types and the arrangement of stabilisers can be defined on a project-specific basis. This enables precise integration into existing structures. The standard version is supplied in natural-coloured aluminium. Powder-coated versions in various RAL colours are available on request if visual specifications or a uniform appearance are required. The result is a guardrail system that offers functional safety and at the same time blends harmoniously into the respective facility.

Aluminium boxes – protection and organisation for sensitive equipment

KRAUSE aluminium boxes are a versatile transport and storage solution. Cast aluminium stacking corners enable space-saving stacking, while ergonomically shaped handles facilitate handling. The surrounding beads increase the stability of the body without unnecessarily increasing the weight. The lid is equipped with rustproof hinges, snap locks, straps and a circumferential rubber seal, so that the contents remain securely closed and well protected. 

The boxes are corrosion-resistant and can be adapted to the respective application with special inner inserts on request. An optional trolley is available for mobile use, which facilitates the transport of the boxes when loaded. In addition, all models can be equipped with a lock set if a lockable security feature is required.

Tailor-made products for special requirements 

KRAUSE's niche products demonstrate that safety and quality are also important where standard solutions reach their limits. Whether for craft businesses, industrial companies or municipal institutions: shelf ladders, job-specific ladders, guardrail systems and aluminium boxes are practical, durable and safe solutions that impress precisely where special requirements exist. Those who rely on KRAUSE benefit from experience, precision and a deep understanding of the requirements of professional users so the Marketing group leader Melanie Büttner.
