As the number of heavy e-bikes increased, the workshop quickly reached its limits. Conventional assembly stands were unsuitable for such heavy loads. Clamping heavy bikes in place was time-consuming and often only possible with a second person.
“It’s not feasible without a stand — certainly not from a health and safety perspective.”
Before implementing the current solution, Frank Kraft experimented with a converted hydraulic car jack. Although the approach worked in principle, the solution was not practical for day-to-day use in the workshop.
For Frank Kraft, physical comfort played a key role alongside functionality. Due to health issues affecting his back, hips and knees, working ergonomically was essential.
“It only works because I bought the right tool.”
The ROEMHELD bike stand now enables the ergonomic assembly and maintenance of heavy bicycles — both when building new bikes and during servicing.
The following features were particularly convincing:
- the high load capacity of up to 80 kg,
- the robust build quality,
- the ease of use,
- the low noise levels,
- and the fact that the company is based locally.
The ROEMHELD Bike ProStand 6401205 is now in use — without electric rotation axis.
The high load reserve was particularly important to Frank Kraft:
“If a piece of equipment can lift 70 kg, it doesn’t struggle as much as one designed for only 40 kg.”
Details such as the integrated sockets also proved their worth in day-to-day use.
Frank Kraft was originally interested in a version with an electric rotation axis. In the end, he chose the Bike ProStand without the electric rotation function, which won him over with its excellent value for money and positive results.
“I was surprised at how easily the bike can be rotated manually.”
Particularly with heavy e-bikes and longtails, everyday use showed that manual rotation works well in terms of both ergonomics and practicality.
Result: Robust support for day-to-day workshop use
Today, the bike stand is a key part of workshop operations. Heavy e-bikes and longtails can be worked on safely and ergonomically — without having to improvise and without causing additional physical strain.
“In terms of build quality, this thing is really good.”
