Work platforms assembled/disassembled flexibly

To realise a safe production environment to build and assemble satellites, traditional scaffolding was cumbersome, but a work platform system allows assembly into any size or shape.

Astrium has to implement a multi-purpose work platform system that must meet their strict safety regulations and provide a safe environment to produce satellites. Traditional scaffolding is too heavy and cumbersome, while aluminium towers do not meet their requirements, as each project is different. Lobo Systems' safe and secure platform product.

The unique and patented clamp allows the system to be assembled with out the use of tools into any size or shape.

This allows Astrium engineers to attach a guardrail at any point on the system.

This means personnel are not exposed to the risk of a fall during assembly, thereby meeting the safety rules.

* Benefits - by attaching a guardrail from a lower level, before it is needed, ensures a safe system is built.

This unique versatility of the Lobo System brings a safe working procedure to EADS Astrium.

The Lobo System also brings cost reduction, enhanced efficiency and performance as engineers can build their own platforms at any time, with constantly changing requirements.

The Lobo System creates a safe working environment, which increases productivity and maximizes the return on investment.
