1 We improve our customers' workflow with intelligent lifting and moving solutions

2 It looks simple We lift and handle reels, boxes, drums and much more. At Hovmand we work diligently to improve our customers' workflow with intelligent lifting and moving solutions. We do this building on 40 years of focused development work based on ingenuity, creativity and commitment. Our clients are leading companies within pharmaceuticals, food, manufacturing, trade, utilities and distribution. Hovmand... It looks simple

3 Functionality Work life Impact We contribute significantly to the efficiency of our customers' workflow with intelligent lifting and moving solutions. Enhanced functionality: You can handle reels, boxes, drums and other items You can grip and lift You can turn and tip Increased efficiency: You can save time and manpower You can utilise your existing infrastructure better You can reduce the need for alternative capital investments New opportunities: You can handle small, large and complex items You can lift more and higher You can move further and more Improved work life You can eliminate harmful work processes You can eliminate repetitive work injuries You can reduce sick leave

4 Fork for long and heavy reel REELS Small lifter with V-block With the right equipment you can handle almost all types of reels: large and small, short and long. Functionality We provide a wide range of equipment: from simple handling of the reels with a boom or V-block over more specialised equipment, which grips the roll in its core and rotates it. We furthermore provide equipment that grips the reel from the outside and turns it around, manually and electrically. Expanding inside the core and tipping Lifter with combined boom and V-block With Hovmand lifters you can use larger reels, remove the reel from the pallet and load it directly into the packaging machine, do the work alone, place reels high or low without other equipment or help. It also becomes easier to take the reels from the pallet and you are able to have the reels delivered in higher stacks. When using larger reels you reduce the number of necessary reel changes. You save time; one man can do the work and you can limit the down time on the machine. You make more efficient use of your available storage room as the reels may be stacked higher and larger reels makes way for lower price on the foil. Gripping outside and turning, all electric "We have more than doubled the time between the required reel feed - 20 to 42 minutes, corresponding a reduction from 69 to 33 changes over three work shifts."

5 BOXES When you pack, move, store and distribute goods you use boxes. In particular plastic boxes and crates have become important and an integrated part of many logistics systems. "We utilize our trucks load capacity better. We save 20% on distribution costs and we reduce the loading and unloading times by another 20%." Functionality A lifter is often a good solution when you need to pack, move, store and distribute. We provide lifters equipped with platforms, forks, grippers and equipment that turn and tip boxes. You can lift heavy boxes and more boxes at once. You can simultaneously transport several boxes instead of one or two at a time. You can stack boxes higher and exploit the height of your storage or transport facility better; and also use the top spots on the shelf. You can turn and tip boxes to facilitate emptying. Hovmand lifters are also used to move heavy boxes directly from one place to another without inter mediate storage on a pallet. Stacking boxes on lifter By employing a lifter you improve the flow of your work processes and you save time. You can also carry and move higher stacks, saving both space and distribution costs.

6 Tipping container in food industry DRUMS Emptying stainless steel container Remote control for operation Many commodities are packaged, stored and distributed in drums, containers and cans. There are also a large number of manufacturing processes where drums, vats, containers, kettles and pots are lifted and emptied. Gripping device - electrically operated Functionality Hovmand lifters can grip, lift and tip almost any kind of container, i.e. drum, pot, kettle or vat. They can be taken from the floor and lifted. The grippers can be designed to handle difficult and complex shapes as well as containers made of different materials such as steel, plastic and cardboard. With lifters you can lift heavy items without help, complex geometries, warm and cold containers, etc. And you can handle different items and sizes with the same equipment, simplify and streamline filling and lift even higher. Telescopic mast for emptying above 3 m. "Today, we take the container directly from the process machine, move, lift and empty directly into the funnel 3 meters up. Before using the lifter we took the container out of the machine, put it on a dolly, lifted it up on a platform with an elevator and then shovelled the contents into the funnel." With a lifter you can grip the container, move it over to the work place and lift, rotate, tip and drain in one single operation instead of first moving the container, lifting it and finally tipping it. This saves time and reduces expensive investment in other equipment.

7 OTHER APPLICATIONS Hovmand lifters are used in a wide range of specialised applications, including as OEM equipment for suppliers of production machinery and in contexts where complex items must be handled efficiently and safely. "By using Hovmand lifters in our production, we have been able to remove our gantry cranes and thereby increased flexibility, efficiency and safety. And we lift and move at the same time." Functionality Difficult items such as fuel tanks, heavy production and injection moulding tools are handled efficiently and safely with Hovmand lifters. You can grip, lift, turn, tip and move the items with specially designed grippers and handling equipment. The flexibility and usability of the lifters make them an active and important work tool in your production workflow. Lifters may eliminate the need for fully automated assembly lines or complex internal transport solutions that in themselves limit the possibility for subsequent optimisation of your production layout and flow. Lifter for semiconductor manufacturing Flexibility when using the lifters means that you have the opportunity to continually optimise your production layout by lifting and moving in one operation. You may render obsolete older, unsafe transportation solutions such as gantry cranes, and you can avoid investment in inflexible solutions such as vacuum lifts, lifting tables and other specialised equipment.

8 Hovmand lifters Aluminium and stainless steel Hovmand delivers lifters in aluminium or stainless steel. Lifting Equipment We have a large range of equipment for lifting and handling of reels, boxes, drums and many other types of items. We provide forks, platforms and booms, and for the more complex tasks we have manual or electric grippers, tipping and turning devices. Many of our lifters are supplied with specially designed lifting equipment. Lifting masts We have a large selection of lifting masts ranging from 80 to 300 kg laden weight. We can lift from 1.2 meter up to 4 meters. Hovmand lifters are characterised by high lifting speed and thus efficiency. Legs and wheels Legs and wheels must be suitable for the application, run smoothly and not be obstructive. We have a very large range of legs: narrow and wide, short and long, legs to run under or outside a pallet. Also, you can get the exact type of wheel to suit your task. Controls It is important that operation of the lifter is appropriate to the task. You can order the lifter with push buttons, switches, remote control or built-in buttons in the handles of the push bar. All Hovmand lifters come with an electronic control with "soft start", battery indicator, built-in charger and the relevant battery pack. Safety devices Hovmand lifters are equipped with a range of devices in order to make daily use easy and safe. These include overload protection, safety clutch, brakes, etc. CLIENTS Alfa Laval Coca Cola GlaxoSmithKline Merck Pharma Airbus Colgate-Palmolive Grundfos Nestlé Arla Foods Continental Halfords Novo Nordisk Aventis Pasteur COOP IBM Pfizer Audi Daimler-Benz Janssen Proctor & Gamble Bang & Olufsen Danfoss Johnson & Johnson Renault Bayer Dassault Aviation Kraft Food Samsung Boots the Chemist Dior Lego Tetrapak Cadburys Dunlop L'Oreal Vestas Carlsberg Electrolux Louis Vuitton Volvo Dealer: H.C.
