Enthusiastic customer testimonials:

See what our customers have to say about the safety and effectiveness of our fall arrest systems - success stories that are redefining the standards!

The probability of an accident should be very, very low and the system itself should be an economical solution. Based on all of these points, we selected the HighStep system as our new security system. We have implemented the system on 300 existing high-voltage pylons. The system is very good and very easy to use. Anyone can climb with the system. The components are really light. The assembly is very, very easy.

Ulrich Striehl, team leader Powerline Building

The physical strain of climbing was sometimes immense. After all, equipment and tools also had to be carried with them, so that the employees were completely exhausted during the conventional 15-minute climb. We turned to MIAS with the problem and together we found a solution with the HighStep Lift that redefines the term climbing aid

John Schultke, series planning, paint shop, Volkswagen plant in Zwickau

Compared to conventional climbing aids, HighStep Systems can be safely assembled and then safely climbed. You are permanently secured and you can adjust your step frequency individually depending on your fitness.

THE Climb protection system

The HighStep fall protection system consists of two different components, the aluminum rail as a system support and a selectable climbing device: the HighStep Easy and the HighStep Lift.

HighStep rail

The system carrier with maintenance-free rail: easy to install, durable and extremely resilient

HighStep Easy & Protector

The basic model for climbing is the HighStep Easy, consisting of two independent pedals. To climb, the pedals are hooked into the rail while the user's foot is fixed to the pedal by a binding.

High step lift

The HighStep Lift is the world's first mobile, battery-operated service lift for structures and masts of any kind. The lift enables efficient, safe and comfortable ascent and descent. It is hooked into the rail in just a few steps and can be used immediately to transport people and materials. Only state-of-the-art components are used to ensure high quality and safety standards. The HighStep Lift sets fundamentally new standards in terms of fall protection systems and opens up completely new possibilities. Once you've used it, you'll never want to be without the HighStep Lift again!

HighStep mobile anchor point

Portable anchor point according to EN 795 for rescue operations or as material/personal security. The mobile anchor point can be attached to the HighStep rail in almost any position. Areas of application such as rescuing an injured person, material or personal security can be optimized.

Volkswagen in Zwickau relies on HighStep Systems

At the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau, HighStep lifts from HighStep Systems in Dietikon are used to access the high-bay warehouses.

HighStep Systems sets new standards with the lift on the highest flagpole in the world

The impressive mast was completed on December 25, 2021 and, with an impressive height of 201,9 meters, towers over the previous record holder, the flagpole of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, by an impressive 30,9 meters.

Access solution for working at heights in Antwerp

In Antwerp, one of the highest pipelines in Europe poses a particular challenge for employees. At a height of almost 200 meters, access to this workplace usually requires arduous climbing.

Key to accessing the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO)

Highstep Systems AG's project on the tallest masts in South America highlights the crucial role of our climbing systems and elevators in ensuring smooth accessibility to the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO).

Fall protection system for high-bay warehouse

Climbing ladders on storage and retrieval machines for maintenance or repair work is laborious for warehouse staff and poses the risk of accidents. The intralogistics specialists from MIAS at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau found a solution by retrofitting a special kind of assistance system, the Highstep Lift.
