WORK HARD! ROCK HARD! – KRAUSE at the EISENWARENMESSE 2026 in Cologne

The International Hardware Fair in Cologne is considered the world's leading trade fair for the hardware industry. From 3 to 6 March 2026, the international industry will meet in Cologne to experience innovations, trends and solutions from the four product areas of tools and accessories, industrial supplies, fastening and connection technology as well as construction and DIY supplies.

KRAUSE at the International Hardware Fair in Cologne 2026

For decision-makers from trade and industry, the fair is a central meeting place for exchange, product comparisons and business development. In Hall 3.2, Stand A030, KRAUSE, a specialist in access technology and related occupational safety technology, will demonstrate how performance, safety and everyday usability can be combined – not just on paper, but in direct handling. A selection of colourful multipurpose ladders and step ladders will add a fresh touch to the stand. KRAUSE will also be presenting the SkyMatic telescopic platform ladder live on site. Anyone who wants to experience the differences between the various step variants first-hand can compare them directly on a step tester. If you want more than just to see climbing technology, but also want to try it out for yourself, then this is the place for you.

World first in the STABILO product line – exclusively at the 2026 Hardware Fair

KRAUSE is expanding the STABILO product line at the 2026 Hardware Fair and presenting a genuine world first. Technical details and features are being kept under wraps until the fair so that the innovation can be presented live at the stand for the first time. Visitors will get an exclusive first impression on site, experience the new solution in direct use and learn about application scenarios and advantages in personal conversations with KRAUSE experts.

ClimTec mobile scaffold up to 7.00 m working height – now also usable as a transport trolley

With the ClimTec aluminium work scaffold for up to 7.00 metres working height, KRAUSE is presenting a practical further development of a proven system at the 2026 Hardware Fair. A new feature is the possibility of also using the scaffold as a transport trolley. All components can be stored in an orderly and space-saving manner, which makes transport much easier. After use, the transport trolley or the complete system can be stored just as compactly – an advantage wherever order, short set-up times and clean storage are important in everyday life.

Solido XL – comfortable step ladder for demanding home and craft projects

With the Solido XL step ladder, KRAUSE presents a robust aluminium solution for anyone who values a secure footing and noticeable comfort when working frequently. The 80 mm deep V-steps with slip-resisting profiling and the extra-large safety platform (325 x 260 mm) with particularly slip-resistant barleycorn profiling offer significantly more grip, especially during longer periods of use. High-strength flanged step-rail connections and a metal hinge connection with rail-surrounding hinge protection ensure high stability. The screwed-on metal storage tray, on which tools and materials are always within reach, also pays off in everyday work. Large foot caps with soft inserts improve slip resistance and protect the floor thanks to a softer, wider standing surface – a solid basis for many projects around the house.

Experience it live at the stand: coloured ladders, SkyMatic and step tester

At the exhibition stand, KRAUSE will also be presenting a selection of coloured multipurpose and step ladders. This will also clearly demonstrate how access technology can be differentiated within the product range. In addition, the SkyMatic telescopic platform ladder will be on site so that it can be presented in detail during direct exchanges. The single-sided, mobile telescopic platform ladder with a large standing platform and surrounding railing enables safe and comfortable working while also being quick and easy to use. For a particularly practical comparison, a step tester is also available, which can be used to test different step variants directly. A visit is therefore worthwhile not only to obtain information, but also to touch and evaluate the products. You will find us in Hall 3.2, Stand A030.
