SkyMatic: The new telescopic platform ladder
The newly developed, mobile, single-sided telescopic platform ladder SkyMatic is an indispensable tool for working safely and comfortably at different heights. Thanks to the generous standing platform and the all-round railing, it offers maximum safety and ease of use. Certified to DIN EN 131-7 and specially designed for professional use, the ladder combines the highest safety standards with optimum functionality.
Thanks to the patented ClickMatic system, the height-adjustable platform ladder makes it easy and convenient to adjust the working height. Working heights of approx. 2.80 m to 3.30 m can be achieved with the version with 1x3 to 1x5 rungs and heights of approx. 3.30 m to 4.35 m with the version with 1x5 to 1x9 rungs. This flexibility, combined with the ability to position the ladder safely on steps and landings, makes it a versatile work tool.
For maximum safety, the platform ladder is equipped with a three-sided guardrail cage and a self-closing transition barrier, which provide all-round protection for the workplace. All guardrails and the transition barrier are automatically positioned when unfolded. The standing platform made of slip-resistant aluminium profile measuring 600 x 500 mm provides additional stability and offers a TRBS 2121-2-compliant workplace. A smooth-running quick-release fastener prevents the ladder from folding up unintentionally. The 150 mm high foot rail (200 % higher than required by the EN 131-7 standard) further increases safety.
For even greater stability, stabilisers that are infinitely adjustable on both sides are available from a ladder height of 1x7 rungs. These are mandatory from this height upwards. Despite its impressive functions, the SkyMatic platform ladder can be stowed away compactly to save space, and safety straps prevent unintentional unfolding.
Improved safety features and modularity of existing platform ladders
The tried-and-tested mobile single and double-sided platform ladders from KRAUSE offer a safe and comfortable workplace up to a height of almost four metres. Thanks to their robust construction and the use of high-quality materials, they are not only durable but also versatile. The new models have been specially developed for demanding environments and feature numerous optimisations that meet the requirements of modern working environments.
A central element of the relaunch is the optional integration of R13 profiled grating steps and platforms. These particularly slip-resistant surfaces are ideal for use in oily or heavily soiled environments. The generously perforated profile ensures a self-cleaning effect, with dirt and debris falling through the openings to ensure a consistently high level of slip-resistance.
The new platform railing with the KRAUSE Connect-System offers a stepless connection to the stair handrails without having to reach round. In addition, the railing has been equipped with a reinforced knee rail and an extra high toe rail, which significantly exceed the requirements of the EN 131-7 standard. In addition to the improved safety features, the existing platform ladders have been modularised. The structure consisting of a staircase section, support section, platform and guardrail enables individual modules to be replaced quickly and easily if a part of the platform ladder is damaged by a forklift truck, for example.
Vario compact: Proven functionality
The tried-and-tested Vario compact platform ladder also remains an integral part of the range. With its narrow base width in the narrowest version, it is ideal for working close to walls or on shelving. Various traverse lengths and ballasting options enable great working heights to be reached safely with a small footprint.
Like almost all KRAUSE platform ladders, the Vario compact also has deep steps that enable it to be used safely as a workplace in accordance with the technical rules for operational safety (TRBS 2121-2).
Additional equipment for more functionality
For additional functionality, the platform ladders can be optionally equipped with access barriers and storage trays. These add-ons make repair work easier and increase work safety at the same time. The extensive improvements and ergonomics of the new models make KRAUSE platform ladders the ideal choice for many industries such as maintenance, logistics, construction and retail.
With the latest innovations and proven quality, KRAUSE offers its customers solutions that combine the highest safety standards with flexibility and comfort.
