Our mobile scaffolding is available in various widths, typically 75 cm, 90 cm, and 135 cm, depending on the model and product line (semi-professional or professional). The 75 cm width is ideal for tight spaces, while the 135 cm width provides maximum work space.

• For what working height are your products suitable?

We offer height access technology for various working heights, from low heights (e.g., with carpentry scaffolds, ladders, or platforms) to great heights for facade work with our mobile scaffolds.
