Hovmand lancerer Control+ – et gennembrud inden for ergonomisk løftestyring
På LogiMAT den 24.–26. marts 2026 i Stuttgart præsenterer den danske producent af løfteudstyr Hovmand, den nye generation af batteridrevne løftevogne udviklet omkring en fundamentalt ny betjeningsflade og styrekasse – kaldet Control+. Et design, der passer til alle brugere og alle løftebehov. Udviklet gennem mange års ingeniør- og designarbejde og omfattende brugerindsigt gentænker Control+ den måde, operatører interagerer med løfteudstyr på, ved at integrere bevægelse, hastighedsstyring og ergonomi direkte i ét nydesignet håndtag. Resultatet er en løftevogn, der reagerer naturligt på operatørens bevægelser og arbejdsposition. “Da vi begyndte at udvikle Control+, var ambitionen at få løftevognen til at føles som en naturlig forlængelse af brugeren,” siger Søren Schmidt, udviklingsingeniør hos Hovmand og en del…
