The organisers hoped to put it on in March this year (2022), but once again the virus has forced another postponement; the show is now scheduled for May 31–June 2, 2022, with its digital platform extended until June 28.

LIFTKET "Customisation is a big topic on the customer side,” says Jürgen Dlugi, managing director, Liftket Hoffmann. Since the construction of its plant in 2018 the company, based near Leipzig, has especially expanded in that sector. “We are producing more and more special, tailor-made equipment based on our modular concepts," says Dlugi. "We have a very high vertical integration, which allows us to always find a good lifting solution. We are not just a brand - we design, develop, engineer, machine, manufacture and assemble the complete product ourselves with our own staff. This allows us to offer flexibility and safety. We know what we are doing, in other words: We can tell you which colleague builds which hoist with which material, and it all happens in our own factory." A recent example is a project involving a boat lift in Malmö, Sweden, pictured right.
