Swedish lifting technology with 50+ years on the workshop floor
Dendro Lift engineers, manufactures and services lifting solutions for forklift workshops, railway depots, bus depots and heavy industry — designed and built in Sweden.
An industrial company built on workshop knowledge
Founded in 1972, Dendro Lift has supplied lifting equipment to professional workshops and depots across Europe ever since. We build everything from standard forklift lifts to fully customised systems for rail vehicles and special machines.
We are large enough to handle complex projects and small enough to answer fast. The people who engineer the lift are still there when it is installed, inspected and serviced ten years later.

Engineered and built under one roof
Engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing happen in our own workshop. The short distance between drawing and machine lets us change a detail late in the process when reality demands it.
Every lift is test-run and documented before delivery, and installed by people who know the equipment.
- In-house engineering and manufacturing in Sweden
- Screw mechanics and hydraulics matched to load and working height
- Testing, marking and documentation before delivery
- On-site installation, training and inspection
Four principles behind every delivery
Safety first
Lifting equipment carries heavy vehicles above people. Engineering, materials and documentation follow applicable requirements — no shortcuts.
Built for decades
We dimension for real loads in shift operation. Many of our lifts from the 1980s are still running — and still get original parts.
Customisation as standard
Vehicles, floors and workflows are rarely alike. We start from your operation instead of forcing in a catalogue product.
Support from the manufacturer
No middleman. You talk to the people who designed, welded and commissioned the equipment.
“A lift should not be noticed day to day. It should simply be there, year after year.”
From a local workshop to a European supplier

Dendro Lift is founded
Operations start with lifting equipment for Swedish workshops and industry.
- 1980s
Forklift lifts take off
Screw-driven lifts for forklift service become a core product family — many units are still in service.
- 1990s
Railway depots and special projects
Competence broadens to rail vehicles, with mobile and stationary lifting systems for depots.
- 2000s
Export through partners
A European partner network means lifts are installed and serviced locally in several countries.
- Today
Part of Columbus McKinnon
As part of CMCO Industrial Motion we combine Swedish manufacturing with global lifting expertise.
An industrial family with manufacturing in its own hands
Dendro Lift is developed together with its sister companies in Småland. Engineering, machining, welding and assembly all sit within the same family — giving shorter lead times, full control of quality and room for genuine customisation.
Lift masts & tyre handlers
Since 1991
One of Sweden's leading manufacturers of lift masts for automated trucks — from contract machining to complete material handling products.
Engineering & series production
Since 1897
Full responsibility from the first sketch to finished production series, with in-house design, testing, industrialisation and production under one roof.
