Family-owned company from Espelkamp

LAWECO Maschinen- und Apparatebau GmbH develops and manufactures custom lifting tables and lifting systems at its Espelkamp site in East Westphalia-Lippe. Founded in 1979, the family-owned company specializes in hydraulic plant, flat-lift and loading lifting tables as well as mechanical spindle, push-chain and belt lifting tables, and also implements special designs for exceptional requirements. Production is mainly in steel, partly in aluminum; on around 10,500 m² of manufacturing floor space, individual systems with load capacities up to 150 t and lifting heights of over 8,000 mm are produced. The product range also includes coil handling systems, stacking lifting tables and the traditional CARGO MASTER brand of aircraft ground handling equipment, which is in use at all major airports worldwide. Customers include renowned plant manufacturers from the wood, sheet metal and paper industries, the automotive and aviation industries, the air cargo sector and rail technology. The entire product development process is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015; consulting, design, assembly, maintenance and spare parts supply complete the value chain.
