IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) is dedicated to promoting the safe use of construction hoists and lifting platforms worldwide. It is also the organisation that helps regulate these machines. On 14 October 2022, IPAF organised a webinar where some industry experts explained why mast climbing...
On construction sites, construction lifts and platform lifts are among the safest machines for vertical transport and working at height. All Maber machines are equipped with an emergency brake that automatically stops the machine if the descent speed exceeds the specified speed, even if the...
Hoists and mast climbers used on construction sites are required to comply with various regulations. Regular inspections of hoists and similar equipment are required to ensure the safety of workers on site. So what can you do to make sure that the inspections run smoothly, and...
The trend towards increasingly high-rise construction projects is also placing demands on the manufacturers of rack and pinion construction hoists.

The lead time of a project can be further...
Higher buildings To keep housing affordable, more families opt for an apartment instead of a terraced house or detached house. Not illogical: the number of families continues to grow, but less and less space is being made available for construction. The answer from project developers? Build...
From 2020 onwards, every (rental) home must have double glazing for the windows. Stricter rules also apply to new construction projects. Insulation standards are also becoming stricter. From 2021, every new-build home in Belgium must be "BEN" (Nearly Energy Neutral). Many apartment buildings from the...
