Lifting equipment for the food and beverage industry


Reduce risks and improve hygiene in food production with stainless-steel lifters, ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant handling of ingredients and goods.

Heavy lifting in kitchens and bakeries

Professional kitchens and bakeries often face challenges when lifting and transporting heavy mixer bowls and ingredients, increasing the risk of injury for employees.

Hovmand’s lifters are designed to:

  • Safely lift and move mixer bowls (30–200 liters).

  • Tilt and empty contents directly onto tables or into pans.

  • Transport bowls for washing or dishwasher loading.

Moving buckets and reels in dairy production

Dairy production often involves heavy lifting of jerrycans, buckets, and reels, which can strain employees and reduce efficiency.

At Hovmand, we provide ergonomic lifters tailored for dairy workflows:

  • Compact lifters (e.g., Impact 70) for moving buckets in storage areas.

  • Custom solutions with squeeze, turn, and rotating functions for easy emptying of jerrycans.

  • Reel handlers that simplify the handling of heavy reels.

All our lifters are made from 100% electropolished stainless steel, ensuring hygienic and durable solutions for production areas.

Material handling in meat production

Handling heavy boxes, sacks, and reels is a daily challenge in meat production, often putting strain on employees and slowing down workflows.

At Hovmand, we provide ergonomic lifting solutions to improve productivity and worker safety:

  • Lifters for safely moving and stacking boxes, sacks (up to 50 liters), and other materials.

  • Reel handling tools for lifting reels up to 200 kg (~441 lb.) and placing them on packaging machines with ease.

  • Hygienic stainless-steel designs for cleanrooms, resistant to germs, dust, water, and cleaning agents.

Handling reels and sacks in breweries

The growing demand for craft beer has increased productivity requirements in breweries while maintaining worker safety. Tasks like moving reels of film and sacks of malt can be challenging.

Hovmand offers solutions for ergonomic material handling:

  • Lifters that handle up to 200 kg (~441 lb.) with tools for gripping, turning, and tipping reels.

  • Modular designs tailored to your workflow, available in stainless steel for hygienic environments.
