Maintaining industrial machinery is hard work, and can be dangerous due to the size and scale of some plant machinery.  Food production, brewing, oil refining and many other industrial practices involve the use of complicated and large equipment.  This equipment needs regular maintenance and repairs, and accessing the parts which need attention requires the right access methods.  Often, engineers will need a large array of tools to hand, which means they need a working platform area with enough space for them and their equipment.

When plant machinery has a problems or breaks, it's vital for production that the fault is rectified quickly.   Using a work platform means engineers can safely carry their tasks out without hunting around for the right combination of ladders.  It also means that no safety corners are cut by people wanting to get the machinery back on line quickly, who then use inappropriate equipment to access the fault.

The Zarges mobile work platform range is designed for exactly these scenarios. They all have full height guard rails for added safety.  Wide treads and non-slip feet make using the platforms safe and easy.   The wheels, which only make contact the ground when the platform is in a tipped position, make moving the platform a doddle. This is important when working on large machines.  Each model, from 3 to 8 treads, is available with double or single sided access.  The single sided access models have guard rails around three sides, while the double sided access models have guard rails at the front and back.  Single or double handrails for the tread sides are available, and we would recommend choosing this option for the extra safety benefits to the user. 

The Zarges mobile work platforms bring the best of German engineering, and they are all rated to European safety standards EN131 part 7.  These are built to order, to allow for the customer's exact specification, to be met within 10 business days.  With a 10 year warranty you can be sure that an investment in one of these platforms is a sensible one, which will bring numerous safety benefits to your staff and ensure that repairs and maintenance are carried out safely and in a timely fashion.

The Klime-Ezee range of mobile work platforms is also great value for money, and these steel, powder coated platforms can be very useful in food production plants where cross contamination may be an issue. You can use a coloured one in certain areas and a plain metal one in other areas, to ensure that no cross contamination of production areas occurs.  This is especially important in nut-free or gluten-free environments.  These have a higher load rating than the Zarges models; so if very heavy tools are being used or you need two people for certain jobs, then you'll need a mobile work platform with a high load rating – up to 500 kilos with the Klime-Ezee models.

Whatever your reason for needing a mobile work platform, we have a wide range that will suit most applications.  We are happy to advise our customers on the right model for their needs.  Call us today on 0300 303 22 99.
