It cannot be denied that workplace safety and increasing automation in the infrastructure segment is paving the way for a wide range of material handling equipment in India. Moreover, owing to the development of small towns and cities, the demand for equipment that can lift and move heavy equipment is on the rise. There is an increasing requirement from the government sector as well, providing a further fillip to the material handling equipment industry. Alongside, the implementation of Industry 4.0 has boosted the requirement for forklifts, knuckle boom cranes, T-cranes, tailgates and wheelchair lifts with manufacturers now seeking cost-effective and energy-efficient products.

These are some of the triggers, not to forget the government’s emphasis on ‘Make in India’, that have strengthened the pillars of Hydrolift Cranes (P) Ltd., a company established in 2015 at Khalapur in Raigad district of Maharashtra. Cut to 2020 and one finds that the company has been successful in manufacturing T-cranes with capacities from 1 – 4 ton metre (TM) for lifting of two-wheelers, knuckle boom cranes with load-handling capacities ranging from 2 TM up to 48 TM, tailgates with load-lifting capacity of 500 kg to a maximum of 2,000 kg, recovery fitment on vehicles for towing small cars to heavy vehicles like trucks, trailers and tippers in case of breakdown, skip loaders for movement of loose bulk materials, and wheelchair lifts for providing easy mobility to physically challenged persons.
