Advanced Work Platform for Working at Height - Safely

Plant and maintenance engineers in the USA can benefit from what is said to be one of the world’s most advanced access systems for working safely at height.

(PRWEB) October 10, 2006 -- The Lobo System is a versatile work platform that combines the flexibility and strength of traditional scaffolding with the simplicity and mobility of tower systems. Comprising steel components that adjust to meet specific requirements, the system can be erected quickly and easily without the need for tools.

The United Kingdom’s Lobo Systems has appointed Mike Milne, REIS Environmental Ltd, as the USA distributor for its advanced product, which is used on applications as varied as servicing jet fighter aircraft and maintaining the insides of giant brewing vessels.

“The Lobo System is the safest option for all work up to a height of 25 feet,” says Mr Milne.

“The major benefit is that it is built around the equipment being worked on and can, therefore, be erected or dismantled in a very short time without the use of any tools, cost savings are astonishing”

The basic elements of the Lobo System are trestle legs, with adjustable clamps on the top, fixed bracing clamps on the side, and steel or aluminium tubes with the same diameter as standard scaffolding tubes. The tubes are passed through the clamps and tightened by hand, to form a framework to which the other components are added.

Individual components of the Lobo System pack away easily and compactly for storage and transport, while their size and portability make the system suitable for use wherever space is restricted or access difficult.

Robert Bokros, director of Lobo Systems, says: “Health and Safety is possibly the single most significant factor affecting the modern workforce. No matter where it is being used, Lobo provides the perfect, tailor-made access solution, making it safer and more efficient.”

Organisations around the world that currently use Lobo include: Anheuser Busch, BAE Systems, General Electric, General Motors, Miller Brewing, NASA, the UK’s Royal Air Force and police forces, the United States Navy, and Virgin Atlantic.
