Handling solutions for batteries

Automotive batteries are heavy and require frequent lifting, causing strain on workers.

Hovmand’s lifters:

  • Safely lift and transport batteries in production and storage.
  • Reduce repetitive strain and improve ergonomics.
  • Feature ESD protection for electronic environments.
  • Meet industry standards for safety and efficiency.

Improve workflows while ensuring worker protection and compliance.

Lifting machine parts in all sizes and forms

Every day an enormous number of machine parts are handled throughout the production chain of the automotive sector. However, many such parts are too heavy or unwieldly for manual labour, especially in cases where repetitive lifting, turning and transport are present. For this reason, Hovmand has developed a number of versatile lifters that ensure maximum protection and improve output and consistency throughout the entire production. 

In accordance with the industry’s high need for process differentiation and thanks to our flexible product concept, we can quickly build a lifting solution fit to your individual requirements – without having to turn it into a costly project. 

Quick and safe tire changes without physical exertion

In many car repair garages, seasonal tire changes still require enormous physical effort on the part of employees. Tires have to be removed from shelves, transported to the vehicle and fitted, after which sets of interchangeable tires have to be replaced in storage.

We have developed our own product series that is specially adapted to your requirements, making everyday work considerably easier, while also relieving your car mechanics.

Handling solutions for batteries

An essential component in any automotive vehicle is the battery, making it a key focus area for a number of subcontractors. Batteries often need to be moved throughout production or in and out of designated cabinets, putting repetitive strain on workers.

Hovmand’s lifters are ESD equipped making them highly compatible with electronic heavy environments. In this way, a Hovmand lifter complies with the strict requirements in the industry and simultaneously ensures efficient and ergonomic workflows.
