Efficient production and maintenance of buses

Minimised downtime and maximum efficiency thanks to innovative access equipment: Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik will be demonstrating how buses can return to regular service and coach travel as quickly as possible after maintenance at Bus2Bus in Berlin from 15 to 16 April 2026. The Bavarian quality manufacturer will present its efficient and safe solutions for the production, maintenance and repair of commercial vehicles, including a mobile and height-adjustable work platform and various high-quality step, platform and platform ladders.

The solutions from Günzburg optimise processes and significantly reduce downtime. Whether you are a public operator or a private bus company, the innovative ideas of this quality manufacturer will put you in an ideal position for the future, as even the latest generation of buses with electric or hybrid drives can be maintained particularly efficiently with access technology solutions from Günzburg.

For these maintenance requirements, Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik offers, among other things, roof access equipment that enables technicians to optimally reach the modules and components installed on the roof. "Our roof access equipment is available in various versions and designs: These range from customised, fully automatic versions that can be adjusted and moved with millimetre precision to permanently installed systems with fixed working heights. This means that even bus companies with a lower investment volume can purchase a particularly economical and safe maintenance system," says Ferdinand Munk, owner and managing director of the Munk Group.

Also suitable for assembly

The roof-mounted work platforms from this quality manufacturer are not only suitable for maintenance, but can also be used as assembly lines in bus production. At a leading bus manufacturer, all roof-mounted work steps in production are carried out on electrically adjustable and automated roof work platforms from Günzburg.

On request, electrically adjustable work platforms from Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik are also available in a cordless version. These allow comfortable working, completely independent of the nearest power socket. A high-performance battery pack ensures full working power with maximum flexibility, while safety is guaranteed by, among other things, environmental monitoring with laser scanners and a camera system with colour monitors. Acoustic and optical signals further increase work safety during operation.

Standardised basic or special solutions

Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik offers standardised basic solutions for buses and commercial vehicles as well as individual special solutions. With its roof-mounted work platforms, electrically adjustable maintenance platforms, walkway systems, stair platforms, crossovers and bridges, the quality manufacturer from Bavaria not only increases efficiency in workshops, but also improves work safety for maintenance personnel.

Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik offers special roof work platforms, work platforms and walkway systems for all work on vehicle roofs. However, the access equipment from the quality manufacturer's standard range of over 2,500 items also helps with many other tasks on buses. For example, the certified R13 tread cover for step ladders from the standard range of Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik offers added occupational safety. The slip-resistant covering guarantees a secure footing, especially in work areas where there is a risk of slipping.

The FlexxTower single-person scaffold from Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik is a real all-rounder. It can be assembled and dismantled by just one person without tools, but also offers enough space for two people on its working platform, up to a working height of over nine metres.

The FlexxLift mini lifting platform also provides a safe way to reach heights, allowing users to quickly and easily raise themselves to working heights of up to 4.20 metres. The FlexxLift is powered by a sophisticated crank mechanism that requires no electricity and can be used by individuals anywhere, making it highly mobile.
