This time our team was called in to install an assembly and work platform above an existing production line. For this purpose, a platform of aluminium profiles and gratings was fabricated, which still had to be adapted to the machine on site.
Installation of a work platform at an automotive plant in Mannheim
work diary
Work platform installation above a production line: aluminium profiles and gratings adapted on site, with handrail, hinged gates and toe boards.
For this purpose, a platform of aluminium profiles and gratings was fabricated, which still had to be adapted to the machine on site.
The work platform had to be adapted so that the line and its conveyor belts still had enough room, while the gaps and openings were not so large as to endanger the personnel who have to climb up there for maintenance work.
The feet made of aluminium profiles also had to be positioned within the machine so that its function and the production processes were not impaired.
The system, supplied by Günzburger Steigtechnik / Munk, is excellently suited to tasks of this kind.
A continuous handrail, hinged gates and toe boards were also installed so that employees can climb up safely.

Managing director of Omega Mounting GmbH, Rodgau · more than 20 years of hands-on experience in installation and maintenance
A trained mechatronics technician, at home in maintenance, servicing and industrial installation since 2004 – first alongside his father, and since 2012 with Omega Mounting: from the overhead conveyor in Frankfurt to the crane system in a new-build hall. As appointed person for lifting operations, he plans and leads lifting operations in data centers and on industrial sites in the Rhine-Main region, is an instructor and examiner for cranes, aerial work platforms and telehandlers, and a safety officer. On assignments abroad he is known as the "German Troubleshooter" – the one you call when things get stuck on site. He did not learn what quality means from a manual, but from his father: Made in Germany as a standard for his own work, not as a label. That is why quality comes first at Omega Mounting – before speed and before price. The project diary shows the jobs his team has planned and carried out – without customer names, but with everything that can be learned from them.
