LIFTKET Hoffmann GmbH is an internationally renowned manufacturer of electric chain hoists for Industrial and Entertainment with loads

up to 25,000 kg. At the company premises close to Leipzig in Germany 250 employees, design, develop and manufacture lifting solutions for three business areas: industry, custom and stage.

In-house, LIFTKET manufactures modular electric chain hoists for almost any application requiring safe and precise lifting of loads from 125kg to 25t and up to 200m lifting height. Founded in 1948 by Dietrich Hoffmann, the company initially developed agricultural equipment before specializing in electric chain hoists from 1953. He has set the standard for electric chain hoist used worldwide today by having invented the safety clutch/brake unit where the brake holds the load – not the clutch.

Their mission is to support their specialist clients with excellent products and strengthen them with competitive prices, technical and sales expertise so their partners can earn their living by serving customers fast and efficiently.
