What Interlift does

Interlift AB is a Swedish industrial equipment supplier founded in 1994 and headquartered in Sjöbo, Skåne, specializing in lifting and material handling equipment. Its product range spans ten categories, including cranes (jib, pillar, gantry, marine, and davit cranes from brands such as Helm, Yale, Pewag, and Schilling), chain hoists and trolleys (electric, pneumatic, and battery-powered, from Liftket, Yale, Red Rooster, and Interlift's own brand), lift beams and hydraulic jacks, lifting components (slings, hooks, chains, shackles), lifting magnets, winches, valve actuators (Modec), and miscellaneous lifting equipment such as dynamometers and radio controls. The company also runs a certified service and load-testing workshop in Skåne and offers on-site service across Sweden, with unique dual certification as a service partner for both Tractel and DualLift/PowerClimber. In December 2025, Interlift was acquired by Alimak Group, a Nasdaq Stockholm-listed global provider of vertical transport solutions.

Interlift operates a B2B, sales-led go-to-market model with a quote-based pricing structure (no public pricing), serving seven primary verticals: Industry & Construction, Harbor & Marine (primary), Water & Sewage, Power & Energy, Workshop & Vehicles, Elevator service, and Dealers/Resellers. Customers include municipal harbors (Lomma), nonprofit boat associations (Skebäcks Varvsförening), and enterprises such as Volvo Penta, Orust Yacht Service, Lidköpings Näringslivsfastigheter, and BS Verkstäder. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of lifting equipment plus professional service streams covering inspection, maintenance, and certification. The company employs 11-50 people and is distributed across Sweden from Ystad in the south to Skelleftehamn in the north. Leadership continuity has been preserved following the Alimak Group acquisition, with CEO Christian Persson remaining in place, Marie Petersson appointed CFO, and founder Per-Åke Nilsson participating in a transition through 2026.
