Work platform assists with policing at G8 Summit

Lobo Systems product story

Lobo Systems supplied one of its versatile work platforms to help assist in the policing at the G8 Summit in Edinburgh, 2005.
The Tayside Police force was looking for a platform which would not 'shake rattle and roll' like many aluminium towers.
The force was most impressed with the Lobo System, it was very quick to erect and, because it is made from steel, would not flex and was totally solid.
"Stability was the key feature in the decision to buy our system," says Lobo's managing director, Robert Bokros.
"Police teams needed to respond safely to protesters at the summit who tie themselves to elevated areas such as bridges and lamp posts.
"Our system enables them to be reached quickly and safely untied".
With no tools required in its assembly, the Lobo System combines the flexibility and strength of traditional scaffolding with the simplicity and mobility of tower systems.
"There is no doubt that our system out-performs the competition in a number of key areas, and this order proves the point," adds Robert Bokros.
The Lobo is described as a world-beating, interlinked, modular 'scaffolding for non-scaffolders' tower system that is already in use at Rolls Royce, NASA, the RAF and the US Navy, as well as other blue-chip firms and government departments.
The British Ministry of Defence, Virgin Atlantic and many other UK companies use it extensively.
"It is simply the safest, most flexible, adjustable and cost-efficient way to reach machinery, aircraft and plant to allow essential maintenance.
"Its application at the recent G8 Summit is a clear demonstrations of these unique features," says Robert Bokros.
