KRAUSE Telescopic platform ladder SkyMatic

KRAUSE, Germany's longest-established access technology brand, proudly presents a further addition to its already extensive product portfolio, consisting of ladders, steps, mobile scaffolding and many other solutions for working safely and comfortably at height. The telescopic platform ladder SkyMatic joins this range and offers maximum flexibility and safety with extremely easy handling.

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.

  • Smaller version: 1x3, 1x4 and 1x5 rungs with working heights from approx. 2.80 m to 3.30 m
  • Larger version: 1x5, 1x6, 1x7, 1x8 and 1x9 rungs with working heights from approx. 3.30 m to 4.35 m

This flexibility and the ability to set up the ladder safely on stairs and landings make it a versatile work tool. Different working heights can be easily reached as required.

For maximum safety, the platform ladder is equipped with a three-sided guardrail cage and a self-closing safety door, which provide all-round protection for the workplace. All guardrails and safety doors are positioned automatically when the ladder is unfolded. The standing platform made of non-slip aluminium profile measuring 600 x 500 mm provides additional stability. A smooth-running quick-release fastener prevents the ladder from folding up unintentionally. The 150 mm high toeboard (200 % higher than required by the EN 131-7 standard) further increases safety.

Two stable stabilisers with floor-protecting andslip-resistant foot caps (SafetyCap) guarantee a secure footing on different floor coverings. The fixed castors integrated into the stabiliser allow the ladder to be moved easily and conveniently with one hand, which also makes handling easier. With its narrow base width, the ladder is also ideal for working close to objects in confined spaces.

Outriggers that are infinitely adjustable on both sides ensure even greater stability from a ladder height of 1x7 rungs. These are mandatory from this height upwards. Despite its impressive functions, the platform ladder SkyMatic can be stowed away compactly to save space, and safety straps prevent unintentional unfolding.

The scope of delivery includes a matching tool bag with a detachable shoulder strap, which can be used in a variety of ways. In addition, the ladder is equipped with a wosatec QR code label, which enables easy digitalisation of the inspection documentation for work equipment and thus contributes to further ensuring occupational safety.
