Planning ahead
March 1st 2008

Modern buildings such as the Swiss Re tower in London (pictured) demand modern height access solutions that ensure the safety of maintenance staff.

B. Teupen Maschinenbau is a German height access specialist that provides solutions to high reach problems. It says a growing number of architects are seeking its specialist knowledge at the planning stage and using tailormade height access solutions.

It comments that the norm for working inside buildings has become a rubber crawler-mounted aerial access platform from its LEO range. During the planning stage, required working heights, outreach, working space and so on, are established to identify the correct machine for the task.
