Crane Construction That Does More Than Just Lift Loads

Crane Construction That Does More Than Just Lift Loads

Crane construction is engineering—and quite a challenging one at that. After all, a crane system must not only move loads but also integrate reliably, precisely, and safely into the workflow. That is exactly why Lietmann develops and manufactures customized crane solutions for industrial companies with locations in Germany and Europe.

Lietmann is an established crane manufacturer based in Glandorf, Lower Saxony. Our services combine design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance.

Our cranes are built to meet specific requirements—not based on the idea that “it’ll work out somehow.”

Load capacity, stability, motion sequences, existing buildings, production processes, and much more are factored into every project plan from the very beginning, always in line with our motto: think ahead, plan for the future, and design intelligently.

The result: robust crane systems, clever custom solutions, and quality made in Germany.

Our Crane Solutions

Automated Cranes

Automated cranes handle recurring transport tasks with precision and reliability. They can be integrated into production and logistics processes and are particularly well-suited for automated material flow solutions.

Custom Cranes

When standard solutions aren’t enough, that’s when our real fun begins: developing custom cranes. Whether it’s special dimensions, unusual loads, or specific motion sequences—the Lietmann team designs cranes tailored to your requirements.

Crane Rails

Overhead cranes operate on crane rails in industrial and factory buildings. The crane rail forms the basis for the crane’s movement and must be precisely tailored to the building, spans, and loads.

Conveyor and Storage Technology

Crane systems are often part of a larger internal material flow. That is why our product range also includes conveyor and storage technology, as well as load-handling devices and hoists. Everything from a single source, all of the highest quality? At Lietmann, that’s what we do.

We are your one-stop partner for crane systems

Are you looking for a crane manufacturer in Germany with experience in custom machinery and special-purpose equipment construction? Since 1983, Lietmann has been developing, manufacturing, and installing crane systems for a wide variety of industrial requirements.

From the initial concept through static and dynamic calculations to manufacturing and installation, we provide everything from a single source. This includes automated cranes, custom cranes, crane runways, and complementary solutions for material handling and warehousing technology.

In short: You bring the challenge. We bring expertise, passion, and a solution that works in practice.

Crane Construction with Technical Expertise

Crane Construction with Technical Expertise

Building a crane is a complex project. Every crane system must be precisely tailored to its future tasks, regardless of the areas in which it will ultimately be used.

Static and dynamic calculations are therefore just as much a part of crane construction as careful planning of load-bearing capacity and stability. At the same time, all safety requirements must be taken into account. DIN EN 13001 serves as a key basis for the design of cranes.

Safety is not an accessory

Safety is not an accessory

At Lietmann, safety isn’t an afterthought—it’s the starting point. Modern cranes are equipped with intelligent monitoring systems that track operating conditions and help detect or prevent errors early on.

Load limit switches prevent overloading and help ensure safe crane operation. Depending on the system, additional technical safety devices may be included. After all, when dealing with heavy loads, there’s one thing you shouldn’t rely on: luck.

 From Concept to Installation

From Concept to Installation

A crane system consists of numerous components that must work together precisely. Design and manufacturing are therefore closely linked.

At Lietmann, custom crane systems and accessories are designed using the expertise gained from over 40 years of industry experience and then manufactured at our production facility in Glandorf, near Osnabrück.

Crane assembly is often carried out in modules. These are transported to the job site and professionally assembled there. This allows even challenging projects to be completed efficiently.

More Than Just Crane Systems

At Lietmann, crane construction is part of a broader range of mechanical engineering services. In addition to cranes and crane runways, we manufacture, among other things, load-handling equipment, conveyor and storage technology, and other custom systems for industrial applications.

We also provide service for existing systems, maintenance, repairs, retrofits and modifications. What’s your challenge? We’ve got you covered.

Lietmann is THE premier crane manufacturer in all of Germany

Made in Germany since 1983
Since 1983, Lietmann has been developing machinery and custom systems for industrial applications. What began as a small workshop specializing in container and steel construction has grown into a medium-sized company specializing in mechanical engineering, crane technology, conveyor technology, and lifting technology.

One thing has remained the same: our commitment to quality. Our crane systems are manufactured in Glandorf and are therefore “Made in Germany.” Customers from a wide range of industries rely on our expertise and experience.

Experience That Is Passed On
Lietmann is a family-owned business. What Hubert Lietmann began in the steel construction industry is now being carried on by the next generation in the fields of machine and custom plant engineering. For us, this tradition does not mean that everything must remain exactly as it has always been. On the contrary: a strong tradition goes hand in hand with modern technology.

Our team combines many years of experience with fresh ideas and a practical approach to our customers’ needs.

What Sets Us Apart
Good crane solutions aren’t created solely on a computer. They result from discussions, experience, and an understanding of how a system will actually be used later on.

That’s why our employees work closely with our customers. We don’t just look at the individual crane—we consider the entire application. What loads need to be moved? What paths are planned? What does the material flow look like? What interfaces are involved? And where must the process remain simple at all costs?

This approach leads to solutions that are technically well-thought-out and economically sound.

Crane Construction for Industry and Mechanical Engineering

For Which Industries?

Crane systems are used wherever heavy or bulky loads need to be moved safely. Lietmann works with companies in the automotive and aerospace sectors, the steel and paper industries, and the construction industry, among others.

It’s not just about lifting individual loads. Crane systems influence material flow, logistics, production processes, and ultimately a company’s productivity.
