ZARGES Steps and Platforms: The next step in innovative access solutions

All elements are pre-fabricated and pre-assembled, therefore the need for special or customised parts is minimal. Due to the high degree of pre-assembly, only a few steps and tools are needed to put a product together on-site. In order to save additional time, ZARGES has redesigned the product so that fewer braces and connecting parts are needed. As a result, customers can immediately use the solution they have purchased in their day-to-day operations.

Steps, mobile or fixed platforms, work and maintenance platforms: in the industrial environment, access systems are needed for a wide range of tasks.  If a business were to invest in an individual solution at every work station it could quickly spend a fortune. The mobile solutions based on the ZARGES modular concept are versatile, helping to lower costs.

The modular system allows delivery times to be reduced from a few weeks to as short as 10 days. "In order to deliver products to our customers quickly, in 2009 we became one of the first manufacturers in Europe to develop an online configurator," explains Markus Nowak, product manager at ZARGES. The experience that ZARGES gained in the past eight years has influenced the further development of the system. Nowak continues: "Our customers are able to immediately view a 3D model of the products they want on a screen, make adjustments and check if their requirements are met. There is also the option of downloading a 3D model that can be directly incorporated into the customer's planning.” In addition, a configurator lets customers view the price and order status, print out the offer and place the order at the click of a mouse.

The modular system allows ZARGES to respond quickly to individual customer requirements. Products can also be expanded later without any problem due to the flexibility of the components. As a result, the products can be modified and retrofitted to satisfy changing requirements at their respective deployment location.
