LOBO Systems, which designs and engineers modular access platforms, has completed its first deployment in Saudi Arabia, marking its entry into the Middle East industrial market
The project, delivered to a major global industrial engineering organisation operating in Riyadh, reflects growing regional demand for safer, more flexible and more controllable work-at-height solutions across complex industrial environments.
Saudi Arabia continues to invest heavily in infrastructure, energy, water treatment and advanced manufacturing as part of its long-term economic development strategy and Vision 2030 objectives. These sectors rely on safe and efficient maintenance of pumps, processing systems and elevated equipment, often within space-restricted and operationally sensitive facilities.
Traditional access methods such as outsourced scaffolding can introduce delays, increase operational disruption and limit maintenance responsiveness. Fixed access platforms, while effective in static environments, may lack the adaptability required in evolving industrial settings.
LOBO’s modular work-at-height platform system provides an alternative approach. Designed to be assembled without tools, the system enables trained in-house teams to build fully enclosed, compliant working platforms on demand. Platforms can be configured around pipework, processing equipment and restricted work spaces, then reconfigured as operational requirements change.
This cost-effective approach reduces the reliance on third-party contractors, enables faster response to planned and unplanned maintenance and enables greater operational control and flexibility.
Rob Bokros, CEO at LOBO Systems, commented, “Industrial operators globally are seeking greater control over how they manage work at height. Entering the Saudi market reflects increasing recognition that access infrastructure should be adaptable, owned and immediately available to internal teams. As investment accelerates across the Middle East, we are proud to support organisations looking to modernise their maintenance processes while maintaining the highest safety standards.”
Headquartered in the UK, LOBO Systems designs and engineers modular access platforms that are deployed across major industrial, logistics, research and manufacturing organisations throughout Europe and North America. Expansion into Saudi Arabia forms part of LOBO’s broader international growth strategy and reinforces its commitment to supporting global industry with UK-engineered solutions that prioritise safety, flexibility and operational resilience.
