Linde Material Handling: General Manufacturing

The Problem

Modern businesses need efficient logistics and Linde Sterling offers the full range of Linde products and services for virtually every industrial and commercial sector. Forklift trucks and other material handling systems require planned and reactive maintenance programs, often in elevated and awkward to access areas, and there is often a need to span the forklift mast.

The complexity of maintenance tasks can range from simple hose replacement to highly technical adjustments and calibrations. Creating a safe and adjustable work platform is a huge part of making the repair procedure easier and safer.

Working at height must be accomplished safely and traditional outsourced scaffolding is expensive and not available 24/7. Aluminium frame systems are cumbersome, inflexible, difficult to transport and will not adjust to fit into awkward areas properly.

The Solution

Using the LOBO Systems solution, you can dramatically improve material handling maintenance operations, by reducing scaffolding labour costs, which in turn improves service levels and increases operator productivity and profit. The LOBO System can be assembled quickly, easily and safely around, through or above fork lift truck masts and material handling equipment, all by your own in-house maintenance crew.

This means, out-sourced scaffolding labour costs can be reduced without compromising safety. Areas around the fork lift truck, previously considered difficult to get to can now be accessed with ease for maintenance purposes. In addition, it is always available and therefore puts you in control of what and when you schedule your maintenance tasks.

The Benefits

LOBO is scalable, adaptable and adjustable to meet your on-going and changing requirements. Simply add more components or alter your existing configuration to satisfy the demands of the next task. Protect your initial investment with a product that will meet all your access needs safely!
LOBO is a rigid and stable product, which meets or exceeds current safety regulations. Handrails can be fitted in seconds, at any point in the assembly process and at any point on the system.
LOBO’s steel structure ensures many years of product life and a system that will not shake or rattle. The system can also include a slider lifting beam kit, toe boards and a Towerstore storage unit.
LOBO’s modular approach means components fully integrate and can be hand carried. Fully constructed systems can also be made mobile by the addition of wheels.
