HighStep - the worldwide first railbased climbing system

Ladders exist since tousands of years, and haven't changed since then. This is very surprisingly, because climbing on a ladder is neither safe nor ergonomic.

It all began in the year 2003 where an enthusiastic businessman suddenly fell from a ladder. In his company he decided to analyse the problems on climbing up to high places. He finally made following conclusions:

• Ladders are not safe, even with fall protection
• Climbing on ladders is exhaustive
• using conventional lifts instead is mostly much too expensive

Thereupon a totally new climbing system has been invented, which covers all the disadvantages of a ladder: the HighStep system was born.

Instead of installing regularly rungs, the system is made of one continuous rail which is installed over the total height of a building. The rail is ingenious, cheap and maintanance-free.

Climbing on the rail is conducted by climbing gear which the user brings to the rail in the moment of use. Currently the user has the choice between the mechanical based model (HighStep Easy) or the full automatic lift (HighStep Lift) .
With both climbing gears the user climbs upright (ergonomics) and is multiple fixed on the rail (safety).

HighStep can be used in any kind of high building, such as pylons, masts, wind turbines, high buildings, cranes, tanks or silos.
