Climbing systems
Safe, versatile, time-saving, ergonomic, comfortable, robust, maintenance-free – the HighStep fall protection system offers our customers and users significant added value in all areas
The HighStep system at a glance
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.
All products are always compatible with the rail.
The High step lift defines the future of mobile service lifts: As the world's first battery-operated lift, it offers automated, safe ascent and descent with a variety of innovative functions.
With standard compliance according to DIN EN ISO 12100, DIN EN 1495 and DIN EN 1808, it relies on proven construction. Its compact mobility, rail connection and collision protection at the top and bottom offer protection against accidents making it an indispensable companion for construction projects of all kinds.
The HighStep Easy presents a groundbreaking innovation in the climbing system sector by combining the concept of climbing stairs with unsurpassed safety.
With effortless operation and ergonomic comfort, it offers a firm connection between foot and rail that prevents slipping or stepping and is also used as a resting and working platform.
In addition, the integrated pedals enable an upright posture and individual step height, while the HighStep Protector ensures maximum safety as an independent fall protection runner. An outstanding system that meets both security requirements and offers unparalleled user comfort.
The HighStep rail is revolutionizing the system support market with its effortless installation, exceptional resilience and long-lasting construction.
Thanks to their flexible adaptability to any design, there is no need for time-consuming preparatory work.

The HighStep rail sets new standards for project diversity and technical excellence in construction.
The advantages of all HighStep Systems products
Safety
As a future-oriented climbing system, HighStep Systems meets a safety standard that has never been achieved to date
Your benefits at a glance:
The HighStep Lift overcomes all of the disadvantages of conventional fall arrest systems and takes the user to their workplace at the push of a button.
When climbing manually with the HighStep Easy, the movement sequence is identical to climbing stairs. The climbing shoes are both a resting and working platform and the user determines their individual step height for the highest possible comfort and ergonomics.
A minimal fall distance and multiple connections between the user and the HighStep climbing devices maximize safety and prevent accidents.
In comparison to conventional climbing methods such as climbing bolts or climbing ladders, the HighStep rail can only be climbed over the entire installation length using the portable climbing devices from HighStep Systems. The system prevents unauthorized persons from accessing the application.
freedom from maintenance
The HighStep rail system installed on the structure is basically maintenance-free
The HighStep rail system is subject to the Machinery Directive and not to the usual standards of conventional and comparable fall protection systems, such as fixed ladders and fall protection rails. Along with the freedom from maintenance, the maintenance costs for the operator are correspondingly low, as there is no need for otherwise required inspections.
Cost effectiveness
HighStep offers outstanding cost-effectiveness over the entire lifespan of the fall arrest system
Your benefits at a glance:
HighStep offers the best value for money compared to all other fall arrest systems available on the market.
A modular system with prefabricated standard components reduces construction effort and enables quick and easy installation. For example, a 60 meter high overhead line mast can be retrofitted in just 6 to 8 hours.
Due to the maintenance-free nature of the stationary HighStep rail, there are no follow-up costs. Only the access equipment must be checked every 12 months in accordance with legal regulations.
The HighStep Lift enables time savings of up to 80 percent when ascending and descending. In addition, the mobile lift can be used for any number of applications.
Due to its flexibility, the HighStep system is ideal for retrofitting existing buildings.
The HighStep system reduces the risk of accidents at work. For example, a lower number of work accidents and occupational diseases can reduce operational disruptions and increase productivity.
In comparison to conventional fall protection systems, there is no need to invest in climbing barriers per structure.
We at HighStep Systems train you in handling and maintenance so efficiently that you can then carry out the corresponding maintenance on the products yourself.
With the HighStep system, older, experienced specialists can continue to work in the field.
Future-oriented technology
The HighStep rail remains the unchangeable system basis
Your benefits at a glance:
All applications developed in the future will run on the already installed system basis, the HighStep rail.
Due to the minimal impact on the visual appearance of the building, the HighStep system is particularly suitable for sophisticated, modern architecture.
The HighStep rail is made from recycled aluminum and 100% renewable energy is used to produce the rail.
Study by ETH Zurich proves ergonomic advantage
“The physical and psychological stress associated with conventional climbing methods is significantly higher than climbing with HighStep, given normal and typical working conditions. The climbing comfort with HighStep is significantly better compared to other climbing methods.”

Frequently asked Questions
Your questions, our answers to the HighStep Systems.
HighStep Systems is a rail-based fall protection system. With portable climbing devices you can safely and efficiently reach even hard-to-reach workplaces at height and depth.
The fall protection device protects the user from falling. The fall protection system from HighStep Systems consists of the moving fall protection runner, the HighStep Protector and the fixed connection between the foot and the rail. Accidental slipping or stepping is not possible.
HighStep Systems is a fall protection system for safe and efficient access to difficult-to-reach workplaces at height and depth. Electricity pylons, wind turbines, transmission towers or industrial plants are applications for which the fall protection system from HighStep Systems is suitable.
- From 0,0m height, if the activity is carried out on or above water or other solid substances in which one can sink
- From ≥ 1,0 m height, if the latter does not apply and the activity is carried out on exposed staircases and landings, wall openings and traffic routes
- From ≥ 2,0 m height for all other jobs
Anchor points are used for both restraint systems and fall arrest devices. This safety precaution is intended to either keep the worker away from the edge of the fall (restraint system) or to catch the faller before a serious impact occurs (arrest system).
Activities at heights with an increased risk of falls can be varied. In general, such risks should be prevented from occurring in the first place by ensuring reliable external or internal security measures.
Our innovative lift enables access to high racks. This outstanding technology is becoming increasingly important, especially in light of the recent revision of standards for automated warehouses and conveyors. (EN528)
