Foods all use the LOBO System for facility
maintenance, and here’s why:
MAINTENANCE:
Food processing machines are difficult to
access for maintenance and cleaning tasks.
Traditional scaffolding and aluminium
tower systems could be used, but as they
cannot be quickly or easily assembled
and are not tailored to fit each individual
application, they cannot be deployed
from one machine to another. They do not
meet the industry’s day to day changing
requirements.
Outsourced scaffolding labour is expensive
and not available 24 x 7, aluminium frame
systems are cumbersome, inflexible and will
not adjust to fit into awkward areas.
When not in use, they take up a lot of space
and cannot be easily transported around
the production facility.
Regular access to elevated areas, for
example above conveyors, is awkward and
difficult to reach. Safety is a key component
of working at height which cannot be
compromised.
THE SOLUTION
The LOBO System is a re-configurable
work platform product that combines
the flexibility and strength of traditional
scaffolding with the simplicity and mobility
of tower systems.
This combination provides a versatile access
system that has applications right across
the Food Industry.
The LOBO System, utilising its unique
patented clamp, can be reconfigured and
adjusted, without the need for tools, into any
shape or size required. This simple system can
be assembled by anyone, as the components
are modular. LOBO’s electroplated steel legs
and components can be flat packed when
not in use and transported easily, for storage
or utilisation elsewhere.
Your own in-house maintenance crews can
assemble the LOBO System quickly, easily and
safely around, under or above machinery or
conveyors. To ensure safety, handrails can be
fitted in seconds, at any point in the system,
and at any stage of the assembly process.
Staff should never be exposed to the risk of
a fall.
This means out-sourced scaffolding labour
costs can be reduced without comprising
safety. Areas, previously considered difficult
to get to, can now be accessed with ease for
maintenance and cleaning purposes. As it is
available 24/7 it puts you in control of what
and when you schedule your maintenance
tasks.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
LOBO is scalable, adaptable and adjustable
to meet your ongoing and changing
requirements.
