Founded in 1972, Hovmand is a family-owned Danish company specialising in ergonomic lifting solutions. With production based in Denmark and exports to over 100 countries, Hovmand is now the world leader in mobile, battery-powered lifters. Combining sleek Danish design with quality materials, Hovmand’s modular lifters improve working conditions across a wide range of industries by reducing physical strain on operators in the production line.
The importance of ergonomics at work
Repetitive lifting is a daily reality across many industries. Hovmand’s lifting solutions are designed to ease the burden on operators handling boxes, crates, or drums, helping to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and reduce workplace absences. Capable of lifting up to 300 kilograms, Hovmand lifters are an essential part of ergonomic initiatives to make daily tasks safer and simpler.
A modular design tailored to specific needs
The uniqueness of Hovmand lifters lies in their modular design. Each lifter comprises a mast, leg set, and a tool that can be tailored to meet specific business needs. Through an intuitive app, customers can create their ideal configuration, adapting the lifter’s components to their precise working environment.
Versatile solutions across industries
While Hovmand’s lifters are popular in sectors like pharmaceuticals and food processing, their flexibility makes them suitable for nearly any industrial setting. The configuration process often includes a preliminary assessment with operators and managers to define specific requirements and recommend the best solution.
Award-winning digital innovation
In 2019, Hovmand was recognised with the Danish Digital Award for its augmented reality app and online configurator, enabling customers to visualise their customised lifter in 3D. This innovation reflects Hovmand’s commitment to offering modern, user-centric lifting solutions.
By simplifying tasks and enhancing safety, Hovmand has established itself as a global leader in ergonomic material handling. With thoughtful design, high-quality manufacturing, and remarkable adaptability, Hovmand optimises working conditions for businesses worldwide.
