What is LOBO

The LOBO Work Platform System is a radical new concept in access equipment. From a simple Trestle Leg to a complex mobile free-standing structure, you will find no other system that offers such flexibility.

LOBO is Flexible

Most businesses are likely to require work platforms and scaffolding at some stage. However, if you’re hiring this equipment on a regular basis, it will soon become a significant annual expense.

Furthermore, such equipment usually requires specialist help to assemble, particularly if customised designs are needed for one-off projects.

The LOBO Work Platform System – combining the flexibility of scaffolding with the strength of aluminium tower systems.

LOBO is Easy

LOBO Systems offer the user the facility to quickly construct a secure free-standing, static or mobile platform in a variety of heights and sizes, without the use of any tools. Our no tools assembly is setting new standards throughout the industry. As we continue to develop new products we are committed to improving our already tried and tested designs along with new and exciting accessories, to further increase applications.

Whilst most other access systems are both complicated and cumbersome to transport, our system packs away easily when not in use and can be hand carried anywhere.

LOBO is Bespoke

This Work Platform System can be customised to deck out an entire large area or to provide a secure platform in a narrow passageway, giving you the facility to quickly construct a secure free-standing, static or mobile platform.

The LOBAND coupler is a unique patented clamp that allows you to fit round tube to round tube and round tube to square tube either side by side or at right angles, without the need for any tools.

LOBO is Expandable

Our accessories enhance our product in so many ways that there are a wide range of achievable benefits.

The accessory range allows full mobility by using wheels, handrail attachments, customisable toe boards, LOBO Gates, ladder guards and outriggers.

The product has been designed, developed and refined specifically as a simple to use assembly concept in order to maximise usage, be totally versatile and minimise build time.

How it works

 

The LOBO Work Platform System is an industrial maintenance work platform system which can easily be tailored to individual requirements to provide a bespoke work platform.

The LOBO Scaffolding System is a unique modular access system, based around a patented clamping design, which absolutely anyone can use to assemble custom work platforms with absolutely no need for tools, thus eliminating the need to hire outside scaffolding help for every new task or project.

Configurations

Tower

The Tower configuration can be assembled within minutes and once erected, it can be scaled to reach most ceiling heights without the use of any tools.

Its unique ability to increase productivity, whilst maintaining uncompromising safety standards, puts the LOBO System in a class of it’s own.

The system comprises of steel legs, of a variety of heights with adjustable top and fixed side bracing clamps. Tubes are then passed through the clamps, which are hand-tightened, to form a trestle. This trestle forms the basis of the system to which sway braces, wheels, handrails, outriggers, extensions and even a lifting beam can be added to enhance the construction.

Contractor Kit

The LOBO System can be assembled quickly, easily and safely in restricted access areas, without the need for tools, by your own in-house maintenance crew. This means out sourced scaffolding labour costs can be reduced without compromising safety. Areas, previously considered difficult to get to, can now be accessed with ease for maintenance and cleaning purposes.

The LOBO Contractor Kit 1 quickly flat packs into a small van for field based engineers. It can be assembled to a maximum standing height of 2.75m and uses 1.2m LOBO deck boards.

Current Industry Sectors

Automated Distribution

Automated Distribution

Warehouse logistics and material handling system solutions require planned and reactive maintenance programs, often in elevated areas. The movement of goods in a distribution or manufacturing operation requires sophisticated and complex automation systems. Material flow solutions using pallet or case conveyors and monorails are a highly effective means of moving goods between work areas. They offer real time tracking of goods and added value tasks; for example, wrapping, weighing and distribution of goods.

Maintenance is essential to an efficient process. Many areas are awkward and problematic to reach and working at height must be accomplished safely.

The LOBO access platform is accessible, adaptable and adjustable to meet any continuing or changing requirements. Simply add to or alter the components to satisfy the demands of the next task, such as a handrail for a rigid and stable product or a slider lifting beam kit and a Towerstore storage unit.

Automotive

Automotive

Automative manufacturers are required to implement working at height policies. These reflect current safety standards and drive plant efficiencies. Scaffolding and tower systems must meet HSE and OSHA regulations on safety and so, operatives must be trained to be competent. Traditional scaffolding is too heavy and cumbersome, while aluminium towers do not always meet their safety regulations.

The benefits of attaching a guard rail from a lower level before it is needed results in the building of a safer system. This unique versatility of the LOBO System brings a secure working procedure, which not only meets HSE requirements, but also meets the automotive industries’ tough safety policies.

Aviation

Aviation

The LOBO Advanced Platform System is extremely versatile and can be configured to any shape or size, therefore permitting the engineer to perform maintenance on small general aircrafts to large commercial jets.
