Innovate and improve wherever you can

Examining and researching

There are naturally additional reasons for improving our products. Based on her keen eye for ease of use, Fleur always examines and researches how existing products can be made even smarter and more user-friendly. Take for example the red platform hook.

“When I conceived the idea of a hook, I first drew it in 3D CAD to see how it works,” explains Fleur. “This was followed by a process of tests for safety and ease of use. The shape of the hook integrates wind protection and thus we no longer need any separate parts. Furthermore, the hook is provided with the red Altrex colour. That way you see immediately which side of the platform you must first set up. The hooks are now standard parts of the RS TOWER 5, MiTOWER and MiTOWER PLUS.”

I am always looking for a better, smarter and safer way"

Safe-Quick® 2, created through teamwork

Innovation is always done in a team, adds Fleur. Together with her colleague engineers, product managers and people in the workplace, she also develops totally new products, in addition to improving existing ones. For example, the Safe-Quick® 2, a completely new supplement on the Altrex rolling tower assortment. According to Fleur, it is an asset for your rolling tower.

“In my opinion, the biggest advantage of the Safe-Quick® 2 is its ease of use: Because the rails are a single entirety, you construct the rolling tower faster and more pleasantly. Moreover, the staggered claws allow you to connect several scaffolds to each other to create a longer scaffold. In addition, the frames are stackable and take less space during transport. These types of innovations actually originate by thinking about the user. And that’s what you do constantly as an engineer.”
