The highlight of the new constructions from Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik: Since the superstructure has to be turned again and again in the course of the assembly work, the employees can simply fold down the scissor railings of the platform with a flick of the wrist whenever it is necessary, so that the superstructure can be swivelled freely through 360 degrees. As soon as the scissor railing is unfolded and locked in place again, work can be continued safely. The operation of the folding function is particularly comfortable and ergonomic. When climbing onto the platform, the workers can take the guardrail with them and fold it up with one grip. To prevent uncontrolled folding, the folding mechanism is secured with a gas pressure damper.
With its investment in occupational safety, Liebherr in Ehingen is fully in line with the trend. When investing in occupational safety, more and more companies are focusing on the benefit that results from a return on prevention (ROP), which according to science is 2.2. This means that every euro invested in occupational safety is returned by a factor of 2.2 - in the form of lower costs for accidents, lost working hours or operational disruptions. This is the result of a study initiated jointly by the International Social Security Association (ISSA), the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) and the Employer's Liability Insurance Association for Energy, Textiles, Electrical and Media Products (BG ETEM).
