Bevako

What Bevako does

Bevako B.V. is a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Delfgauw, Netherlands, specializing in the sale, installation, and maintenance of hydraulic systems for light and heavy commercial vehicles. The company operates as an official dealer for Palfinger Nederland BV (truck-mounted cranes, tippers, Epsilon recycling and wood cranes) and VDL Containersystemen BV (hook-arm, cable, chain, and portal arm container handling systems), and serves as a service partner for Hammar Sideloaders. Since 2013 it has also held the exclusive Parker Hannifin Hose Doctor franchise for the Randstad region, providing 24/7/365 mobile hydraulic hose replacement service. The customer base spans logistics and transport companies, recycling and waste management operators, construction firms, municipalities, and horticulture/landscape businesses across the Randstad conurbation (Rotterdam, Den Haag, Delft, Zoetermeer, Westland).

The product portfolio combines core hydraulic systems (VDL hook-arm systems with 8-40 ton capacities, VDL cable systems up to 30 tons, Palfinger autoloading cranes from the PC compact series through the PK 5-165 ton-meter heavy series, and Epsilon M/Q/S-series recycling cranes) with custom in-house manufactured loading bodies, aluminium tippers for light commercial vehicles, and bespoke hydraulic power units. Technical differentiation comes from a 1500 m2 workshop equipped with 6 overhead cranes, 4 mobile lifting columns, and full in-house metalworking capability (bending machine, hydraulic shears, plasma cutter, saw machines, lathe), enabling custom part fabrication and adaptation. Sustainability investments — 200+ solar panels, LED lighting, and modern PULS welding machines — are reported to deliver a 30% reduction in electricity consumption.

Revenue is generated through six streams: product sales of hydraulic systems, installation services, repair and maintenance, partial or complete system overhauls (revision), on-site mobile service, and parts sales (with express shipping via TNT/UPS/DHL). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the B2B project nature of the work. Distribution is purely domestic Dutch with a regional Randstad focus, delivered through direct field sales, workshop appointments, mobile service units, and the OEM dealer channel. The company has been operating for over 25 years, is privately held with no disclosed venture or private equity backing, and is associated with the broader Dubbeldam Industries group (per shared email domain dubbeldam.com and co-branded careers portal).

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Hiab (Cargotec): Global leader in load-handling equipment on trucks, including hooklifts, cranes, and demountables, with a broad service and dealer network across Europe. Direct adjacency to Bevako's product portfolio (hook arm systems, loader cranes, container handling) but operating at global incumbent scale rather than as a regional specialist.
• Manitowoc Crane Group (Grove/PM): US-based manufacturer of mobile hydraulic cranes including commercial-truck-mounted models with global dealer/service network. Broad incumbent adjacency rather than direct overlap, but competes for the same heavy-duty commercial-vehicle crane applications that Bevako serves.
• EFFER: Italian manufacturer of truck-mounted loader cranes, now part of the Palfinger group, with European dealer/service network. Comparable to Bevako in product scope (heavy-duty loader cranes for commercial vehicles) but competes as a manufacturer and integrated solutions provider rather than regional service dealer.
• HMF Group: Danish manufacturer of hydraulic loader cranes and tail lifts for trucks, with European service coverage. Comparable product overlap (truck-mounted hydraulic cranes) but competes as a manufacturer with own dealer network rather than as an independent service dealer.
• MKG (Maschinenbau GmbH): German manufacturer of hydraulic truck cranes and recycling/logging cranes with own sales/service footprint in Europe. Overlaps with Bevako's Epsilon-recycling and Palfinger autolaadkraan lines, particularly for recycling and wood-handling crane applications.

Others

• Hammar Sideloaders: Swedish-Norwegian manufacturer of hydraulic sideloaders for container handling. Bevako is a service partner for Hammar in the Dutch market, so the relationship is mutual; included as a strategic ecosystem partner with overlapping truck-hydraulics expertise.
• Palfinger AG: Austrian-headquartered global manufacturer of truck-mounted cranes, hooklifts, and hydraulic systems — Bevako's principal supplier. Included as an ecosystem partner: Bevako sells, installs, and services Palfinger products, so Palfinger sets the product roadmap Bevako monetizes.
• Parker Hannifin (Hose Doctor Network): Global manufacturer of hydraulic hoses, fittings, and components with a Hose Doctor mobile-service franchise network. Bevako is the Randstad franchisee for Parker since 2013; included as a partner whose service model Bevako directly executes, with other regional franchisees forming natural comparison points.
• VDL Containersystemen: Dutch manufacturer of hook arm, cable, chain, and portal arm container handling systems. Bevako is an official dealer of VDL products; included as a key OEM whose product range underpins Bevako's container-handling portfolio.
