The Problem
A safe working at height platform is necessary for work shop and field based maintenance repairs.

Sway braces, wheels, handrails, out riggers, adjustable extensions and even a lifting beam can be added to enhance the construction.
The LOBO System can be transported from site and assembled with ease from a flat pack into any required configuration, by your own vehicle mechanics.
