Since 1972 we are constructing and manufacturing nearly all kind of grabs, lifting beams (traverse) and other related equipment for ports, shipping, industry and power plants. A worthwhile investment in first class equipment that serves reliable for many years gives more benefit than a low cost purchase that has to reiterate after a short time.

As a family owned company, we put the focus on quality of the products and contentment of our customers. Construction and production are in Germany in our workshop. We use to certify and test our products in co- operation with DNV Germany.

Reloading, transporting, unloading or dredging - our durable grabs and devices are used on construction sites, waste incineration plants, in gravel pits, steelworks or foundries and grab scrap, recycling material, wood, excavated earth, shavings and other processing waste.
