Custers Hydraulica

Custers Hydraulica, commonly branded Custers®, is a Dutch manufacturer of aluminium mobile scaffolding, aerial work platforms and custom access and maintenance equipment for working safely at height. The company traces its origins to 1901 and states that it has been manufacturing products enabling safe work at height for over 125 years. Since 1980 it has also produced high-quality aluminium scaffolding and custom solutions, and it has been building aerial work platforms for more than 60 years. It operates with approximately 50 employees. The product range centres on two families of aluminium mobile scaffolding: the robust Handy series for heavy-duty professional use and the lighter, more agile CR series for flexible jobs. Components of the two series are fully interchangeable, allowing users to combine strength and lightness. Both series can be fitted with Mobile or Safe Guard railings, and the mobile scaffolding complies with current European regulations and is TÜV-approved. Beyond standard scaffolding, Custers develops special aluminium scaffolds for specific applications. A major part of the business is custom engineering. Custers® delivers tailor-made work platforms, mobile scaffolds, work bridges, access stairs and maintenance scaffolding, including aircraft maintenance equipment such as custom maintenance docks, work platforms and stairs for civil and military aviation. The company also operates as an independent service specialist for all types of aerial work platforms, offering maintenance, repairs and inspections. Custers sells mainly within Europe and has expanded in recent years into Canada and the United States. Its customers range from painting companies and small contractors to large rental firms, and include names such as Heijmans, BAM, Spie, Loxam, Scania, Airbus, Boeing, KLM and Air France. The company positions itself on Dutch craftsmanship, quality, innovation and reliability, and markets its products as designed for safety and used by leading companies.

Custers Hydraulica is a Dutch company whose history begins in 1901. According to its own account, it has been manufacturing products that enable safe working at height for over 125 years. For much of the twentieth century the business developed expertise in hydraulic and access equipment, and it has been manufacturing aerial work platforms for more than 60 years. A decisive expansion came in 1980, when the company began manufacturing high-quality aluminium scaffolding and custom solutions. This aluminium scaffolding proved versatile and found use across market segments including the construction sector and the aviation industry. Over time the company built a portfolio of mobile scaffolding series, notably the Handy and CR ranges, and developed special scaffolds for specific types of work. Custom engineering became a core strength. Custers® designs and manufactures custom-made scaffolding, work platforms, access stairs and maintenance scaffolding, including equipment for civil and military aviation such as aircraft maintenance docks, work platforms and stairs. Its engineering department works closely with customers to develop tailor-made solutions, from unique work platform solutions to fully bespoke constructions. Alongside manufacturing, Custers built a service business. Drawing on more than six decades of experience with aerial work platforms, it operates as an independent service company providing maintenance, repairs and inspections for all types of aerial work platforms for customers at home and abroad. Internationally, Custers products are mainly sold within Europe, and in recent years the company has expanded into Canada and the United States. It describes a customer base that includes renowned companies such as Heijmans, BAM, Spie, Loxam, Scania, Airbus, Boeing, KLM and Air France. The company operates with approximately 50 employees and presents itself as combining Dutch craftsmanship with innovative solutions for international markets.
