Challenges in the maintenance of transmission and radio masts
The HighStep lift offers comprehensive safety thanks to an integrated fall protection system that ensures the protection of technicians when working at great heights. Its robustness guarantees reliable function and safety even in adverse weather conditions.
- Extreme heights: Working at heights carries an increased risk of falls and accidents. Even with protective measures, heights remain a potential source of danger.
- Weather conditions: Maintenance work on masts is often exposed to wind and weather. Rain, snow, ice and strong winds can exacerbate the dangerous situation and make the work more difficult.
- Electromagnetic radiation: Transmission and radio masts emit electromagnetic waves that can pose health risks, especially with prolonged exposure.

The 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 secured to the pedal by a binding.
The firm connection between foot and rail created by the pedal reliably prevents any falls, as both missing the pedal and accidental slipping are impossible.
The user maintains a completely upright posture at all times and can freely choose their stride height; the movement is similar to climbing stairs. The pedals can also be used as resting and working platforms.
Climbing on the rail always takes place in conjunction with the independent fall protection device, the HighStep Protector. This serves as a rotating safety element and third safety point on the rail.
In the event of a sudden downward movement, the protector blocks in the rail and a fall is not possible. The combination of HighStep Easy and protector results in a minimal fall distance and the integrated fall protection absorber ensures maximum safety.
Multiple sliding rollers on all sides and optimal coordination with the rail make the protector particularly easy to move. The smart design prevents accidental hooking and enables extremely comfortable and safe ascent and descent.
The Protector is the only fall arrester of its kind that can be fixed with one hand as a fixed anchor point in the event of a rescue. It is approved for two people according to EN 795 B.
