Versatile, easy-to-use work platform scaffold system
Heatric, part of aerospace, defence and energy group, Meggitt, is praising the flexibility of a modular access system from LOBO Systems.
Heatric designs and manufactures highly compact printed circuit heat exchanges (PCHEs) used mainly for gas compression cooling in upstream hydrocarbon processing.
Richard Gray, Heatric manufacturing engineer, explains: “We required a product that would enable us to work at height, that was flexible to our needs and, most importantly, safe.
“We took time evaluating the right product for our use in building, testing and finishing our PCHEs and considered products such as gap access towers, stages, platforms and trestle systems.
"The LOBO was perfect in meeting our needs and we purchased three systems complete with storage containers. Storage of the LOBO Systems is much better than any other products we have used previously."
The LOBO System is a versatile and easy-to-use work platform scaffold system, which assembles without the need for any tools. It can be configured to meet any access application and its patented clamp provides a safe and secure working facility to a maximum height of 10m.
Personnel can reconfigure the system, adapting it from one project to another, with ease.
Gray continues: “The product is a positive alternative to scaffolding, due to its considerable cost and lead time savings, and certainly with our larger vessels we have experienced those cost and time benefits, as we are not relying on third party scaffold companies.”
LOBO combines the versatility and strength of traditional scaffolding and because it can be assembled by anyone quickly and safely, labour costs can be controlled and reduced.
