Leading German construction company Bauer & Schmidt Hochbau GmbH has enhanced its operational efficiency with the purchase of CATHAYLIFT's All Terrain Lift Platform. The company, specializing in large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects, selected the crawler-mounted aerial platform for its superior mobility, stability, and adaptability to challenging job sites.
Bauer & Schmidt frequently works on uneven, unpaved, and muddy construction sites where traditional wheeled lifts struggle. After extensive research, the company chose CATHAYLIFT's 14-meter All Terrain Lift Platform for its crawler track system, which ensures smooth movement across rough ground without sinking or instability.
"We needed a lift that could handle Germany's unpredictable weather-muddy spring conditions, winter snow, and rough terrain," said Klaus Bauer, co-founder of Bauer & Schmidt. "CATHAYLIFT all terrian lift platform's tracks provide excellent traction, allowing us to work efficiently even on unfinished construction sites."
The decision to invest in CATHAYLIFT's All Terrain Lift Platform was based on several critical advantages:
✔ Unmatched Stability on Uneven Ground – Unlike wheeled lifts, the crawler system prevents tipping and slipping, ensuring worker safety.
✔ High Load Capacity (450kg) – Supports multiple workers and heavy tools without compromising performance.
✔ Quick Setup & Easy Maneuverability – Reduces downtime and improves workflow efficiency.
✔ Low Maintenance Design – Saves long-term operational costs compared to traditional scissor lifts.
Since integrating the CATHAYLIFT platform into their fleet, Bauer & Schmidt has reported a 30% reduction in project delays caused by inaccessible work areas.
"Before, we had to use cranes or scaffolding in difficult spots, which slowed us down," explained Hans Schmidt, project manager at Bauer & Schmidt. "Now, we just drive CATHAYLIFT all terrian lift platform into position, extend it, and get to work immediately. It's been a game-changer for meeting tight deadlines."
The company also praised the machine's user-friendly controls and safety features, including anti-tilt sensors and emergency stop functions.
With the success of Bauer & Schmidt's purchase, CATHAYLIFT is seeing growing demand across Europe for its All Terrain Lift Platforms. The combination of rugged durability, advanced mobility, and cost-effective operation makes these machines ideal for:
- Construction sites with unstable or unfinished ground
- Industrial maintenance in warehouses and factories
- Outdoor event setups on grass, gravel, or uneven surfaces
- Agricultural and infrastructure projects requiring high reach
Klaus Bauer summarized his experience: "We've used many aerial platforms over the years, but CATHAYLIFT's crawler system stands out. It's reliable, versatile, and built to last. For any contractor working in tough conditions, this is a smart investment."
CATHAYLIFT continues to expand its European presence, offering customizable lift solutions tailored to industry needs. With proven success in Germany, the company is poised to become a leading supplier of all-terrain aerial work platforms across the continent.
