INTERVIEW WITH HOEFLON INTERNATIONAL

Hoeflon is a manufacturer of compact cranes. Hoeflon is based in the Netherlands and delivers its products worldwide. 

Easy Engineering: What are the ranges of products/services?

Hoeflon currently has a range of 5 crane models: the C1e, C4e, C6e, C10e and C30e, a carrier, Multitool and various attachments and accessories.

E.E: What are the main areas of activity of the company? What is the state of the market where you are currently active?

80 percent of our products go abroad. This goes to countries all over the world, but we mainly supply in Europe. Currently, we see the biggest market in Germany, France and the UK. The market for minicranes continues to grow. Many companies still use other, often less efficient machines to do a job. The minicrane phenomenon is also not yet widely known.

E.E: What are the most innovative products/services marketed?

The latest products we have introduced are the C30e and the Multitool. The C30e is our largest compact crane that can lift 9 tonnes. The crane has a maximum lifting height of 22 metres.

The Multitool is a multifunctional tool to which you can attach a grab, fork board and a vacuum lifter. The Multitool can be placed on the Hoeflon cranes. These are currently our most innovative products.
