What Greiner GmbH - Fahrzeugtechnik does

Greiner GmbH - Fahrzeugtechnik, doing business as Greiner Heavy Engineering, is a family-owned German manufacturer of bespoke heavy-duty transport and lifting systems founded in 1980 and headquartered in Neuenstein, Baden-Württemberg. Across two production facilities the company develops, engineers (using 3D construction with finite element analysis) and builds custom heavy-load equipment, with its core SEFIRO product line of self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) featuring the industry's lowest 630 mm loading height and electronic 360-degree multi-way all-wheel steering. The portfolio extends to girder bridges (Scherenhub-Kesselbrücken) with patented bending moment-free slide extension, hydraulic lifting towers (HKT) capable of up to 4,000 tons, modular lifting systems (GHS) above 1,000 tons, loading platforms (tank, flatbed and excavator decks), heavy load trailers, and wind tower adapters for the renewable energy sector; the company holds ISO 9001:2015, DIN EN 1090-2 EXC 3 and DIN EN ISO 3834-2 certifications.

The company operates a project-based, engineering-led business model, selling custom-built units and complementary after-sales service directly to enterprise customers through a German-based sales team, supplemented by Fujishiro Motors as channel representation in Japan and Southeast Asia. Named customers span heavy transport and logistics (Baumann, Lifthing, Jozef Hermans, Riga-Mainz, Emil Egger AG, Silvasti, Mammoet), aerospace manufacturing (Airbus Hamburg/Finkenwerder), energy transmission and grid expansion (NKT, with units supporting the German South and Southeast Link high-voltage corridors), wind energy (Silvasti, Mammoet), and industrial moving (Schöller-Allibert). Pricing is quote-based with multi-year, project-driven contracts; revenue, backlog size and per-unit pricing are not publicly disclosed. The firm employs approximately 40 technicians and engineers and is led by Managing Director Michael Greiner with no external investors, M&A activity or parent/subsidiary structure disclosed.

Core offering

Greiner GmbH - Fahrzeugtechnik designs, engineers, and manufactures custom heavy-duty transport and lifting equipment — including self-propelled modular transporters (SEFIRO), girder bridges, lifting systems, loading platforms, heavy load trailers, and hydraulic lifting towers — for industrial customers worldwide. Each system is bespoke, built to customer specifications in two German plants, with capacities ranging up to 4,000+ tons and supporting applications in heavy transport logistics, aerospace manufacturing, energy grid expansion, and wind turbine construction.

Product overview

Greiner GmbH - Fahrzeugtechnik (Greiner Heavy Engineering) is a German manufacturer of custom-built heavy-duty transport and lifting solutions, operating since 1980. The product portfolio centers on the SEFIRO self-propelled modular transporter (SPMT) as a flagship offering, complemented by girder deck systems (Scherenhub-Kesselbrücken) for oversized load transport, lifting systems (Hubsysteme) ranging from stationary to 1,000+ ton capacity plug-and-play systems, loading platforms (Ladebetten) including tank, flatbed and excavator decks, heavy load trailers (Schwerlastroller) in mechanical and hydraulic variants, wind tower adapters for renewable energy sector transport, and hydraulic lifting towers (Hubtürme/HKT) capable of handling 4,000 tons. The company also offers supplementary products such as hydraulic units, bridge crossing systems, fly-over bridges, heavy-duty rollers, and custom special solutions. All products are manufactured in Germany at two facilities in Neuenstein with 3D construction and finite element analysis, certified to ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN 1090-2 EXC 3 standards.

Direct peers

• Enerpac: US-based specialist in high-force hydraulic tools, heavy lifting systems and synchronous jacking used in bridge launches, transformer lifts and structural repositioning. Comparable to Greiner's GHS lifting systems and HKT hydraulic climbing towers for controlled multi-point lifting at very high loads.
• Mammoet: Dutch global leader in heavy lifting and transport services that also develops and deploys its own SPMT fleets and specialised transport tooling. Both a customer for, and operator/competitor against, Greiner-built equipment in transformer, wind tower and bridge positioning projects.
• Nooteboom: Dutch maker of semi-trailers and specialist heavy-load transport equipment, including modular axle lines and low-bed trailers. Competitor in the European heavy-load trailer and modular transport market.
• Goldhofer: German manufacturer of heavy-duty and modular transport vehicles, low-loader semi-trailers and SPMTs. Headquartered in Memmingen, Goldhofer competes directly with Greiner in the same German specialty market and supplies comparable loaders, modular axles and girder decks to heavy-haul operators.
• Doll Fahrzeugbau: German manufacturer of heavy-duty modular trailers and self-propelled transport vehicles based in Oppenau. Competes with Greiner in low-loaders, modular axle lines and special-purpose heavy transport equipment within Germany and Europe.
• Faymonville: Belgian manufacturer of modular semi-trailers, low-loaders and self-propelled transport equipment for the heavy-haul and special-transport market. Closely comparable product mix and customer base to Greiner in custom heavy-duty transport.
• TII Group (Scheuerle, Kamag, Cometto): Largest global SPMT and modular heavy-transport manufacturer, with brands Scheuerle, Kamag and Cometto. Produces self-propelled modular transporters, girder bridges and modular trailers used in the same heavy-haul applications as Greiner's SEFIRO and Kesselbrücken lines.
• Cometto: Italian maker of self-propelled modular transporters, heavy-duty trailers and hydraulic modular systems, now part of TII Group. Its Eco1000 and MSPE SPMT ranges overlap directly with the SEFIRO line in axle load, modularity and steering capability.

Others

• Sarens: Belgian global heavy lifting, transport and engineered rigging services provider. Primarily an operator/lessor that consumes SPMTs and modular trailers from manufacturers like Greiner, but occasionally deploys proprietary tooling, making it an adjacent rather than head-to-head competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Liebherr: Global manufacturer of mobile and crawler cranes, heavy lift equipment and specialised foundation/movement machinery. While Liebherr sells into many of the same end markets (energy, construction, infrastructure), it operates at much greater scale and breadth than Greiner, covering cranes, earthmoving and aerospace components as well as transport.
