If you want to break new ground in manufacturing and logistics safely, quickly and economically, sometimes even a small innovation is enough. Short distances help immensely, as demonstrated by the access ladders, stairs, platform stairs and walkway systems from Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik: they shorten distances in production, warehousing and logistics, as well as in outdoor areas, ensuring that productivity and safety do not fall by the wayside. The solutions from this innovation and technology leader can also be customised online at www.munk-group.com/konfigurator using the product configurators, offering unprecedented flexibility. The quality manufacturer from Bavaria will be presenting its innovative solutions at the Logimat 2026 trade fair in Stuttgart (stand 3C15 in hall 3). And more clearly than ever before: the large exhibition stand offers plenty of space for ‘safety made in Germany’. Visitors to Logimat can also try out the online product configurators live here.
‘The right walkway in the right place quickly becomes a key factor for faster operational processes: our customers reduce their production costs because they can rely fully on automated manufacturing processes and still be sure that operating personnel can get from A to B quickly and without major detours. This saves a lot of time and money and ensures maximum occupational safety,’ says Ferdinand Munk, owner and managing director of the Munk Group. Munk likes to refer to studies that highlight the great benefits of prevention in the workplace: according to these studies, every euro invested in occupational safety yields a return of 2.2 euros.
The following applies to the access ladders, walkways, stairs and mobile platform stairs from Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik: thanks to their modular design, they can be flexibly modified and expanded as required, and thanks to sleeve nuts that replace T-slot screws, assembly is quicker than ever before. In addition, even the standard versions of Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik's solutions are equipped with Idealstop castors, offering additional added value and a new, modern look.
Product configurators
Whether you need access ladders, stairs and mobile platform stairs, vertical ladders or, most recently, roof access ladders: customers of Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik can put together the perfect solution for their requirements themselves online around the clock with just a few clicks. This is made possible by the practical product configurators from the quality manufacturer, which complement the top-notch customer service provided by real people and are characterised by their simple and intuitive operation. The desired dimensions, designs and accessories are entered step by step. The result is dynamically displayed in real time via a rotatable 3D model and dimensional drawing, and after saving, a quote including the drawing is immediately sent by email. The services are available at www.munk-group.com/konfigurator, where you can also find demo videos introducing the functions of the product configurators.
Visitors to the Logimat trade fair can test the various product configurators at the stand. The new configurator for roof access hatches is back again, allowing users to not only adjust the angle of inclination and step coverings of their roof access hatches, but also to take into account the roof structure and any obstacles on the roof. The ladder configurator is also a special highlight, as it is the first configurator in the industry with realistic wall simulation: it allows planners and users to design the perfect ladder for their needs directly on the target façade. They can take into account all interfering contours such as windows, ledges and pipes.
Crossings for every requirement
The areas of application for the crossings from Günzburg are diverse, and the solutions offered by the quality manufacturer are just as wide-ranging. There is a suitable crossing for every requirement. And as with aluminium industrial stairs, the coverings for treads and standing surfaces can also be freely selected for crossings and walkway systems. Steel gratings are useful in outdoor areas, for example, because they offer a high level of slip resistance and allow dirt and snow to fall through the grid. Ribbed aluminium, on the other hand, is suitable for use in production halls, warehouses or workshops. Perforated sheets and aluminium gratings are recommended for high hygiene standards, such as in food warehouses. Like the company's corundum coating, these meet the strict R13 standard for slip resistance, ensuring safe footing and standing even in wet, oily and dusty work areas.
Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik's crossings are available as standard in a user-friendly version with a climbing angle of 45 degrees or in a steeper version with a 60-degree angle. The ability to customise the angle of inclination and climbing height using the product configurator also makes the crossings particularly flexible to configure. Even very low construction heights can be easily achieved with a click of the mouse. For maximum flexibility, railings and handrails can also be selected separately, and plug-in pockets are no longer tied to the selection of a railing.
Modular walkway systems
Another practical advantage: Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik also offers its walkway systems in a modular design and as a modular system, so that customers can put together the systems that suit them best in a particularly convenient and cost-efficient manner. The walkway modules are available in three lengths (1260, 1860 and 3060 mm) and can be freely combined with each other.
Incidentally, Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik's customer-friendly service also includes fast delivery. Overhead walkways and walkway systems, as well as stairs and mobile platform stairs, are part of the quality manufacturer's fast delivery programme and leave the factory within ten days, with ladders even leaving within 1-3 days. In addition, all of the company's products comply with the relevant standards and regulations and are produced exclusively at the company's headquarters in Günzburg. They also meet the TÜV Nord's certified ‘Made in Germany’ proof of origin and come with a 15-year guarantee.
