LCS takes over the technologies from Thyssenkrupp

Radial, parallel and luffing cable crane systems

In 2020 LCS took over the technologies for radial, parallel and luffing cable crane systems from the company Thyssenkrupp AG and markets, distributes and manufactures them exclusively worldwide.

The technology finds its origin in 1962 with the foundation of “PHB Fördertechnik” from the existing companies Pohlig, Heckel and Bleichert.
