FlotechPS Enhance Earthmoving Technical Training at Liebherr GB

January 23, 2015by Will Parrett in Project

In a recent project for heavy machinery specialist Liebherr, FlotechPS supplied an access solution for its earthmoving equipment used for training purposes. Previously, the training facility used a steel rolling platform which, due to space constraints, was suitable for only one person at a time. The instructor required access to the vehicle to demonstrate key areas and engine components for servicing and maintenance.

The project specification was for a 3m high platform which would allow up to 8 personnel to view the engine bay and all components. The construction needed to be lightweight and mobile to allow the platform to be stored in order to park various sized machines in the training department. Liebherr required a standardised modular product that, should its needs change, could be adjusted to suit by adding extra components. Liebherr also required a secondary platform contained within the structural framework, for access to a secondary hatch on specific machines. The access needed CE accreditation to meet Liebherr’s high safety standards.

Steve Garfirth, Earthmoving Technical Trainer for Liebherr said, “FlotechPS in the UK reacted very quickly to Liebherr’s initial enquiry and it was decided that a bespoke variant of the MP series platform was the solution. We worked with FlotechPS’s North American supplier to develop the ideal platform for our needs.”

FlotechPS provide access solutions, loading arms and other flow control products.
