Lifting gear with tradition
Crane construction and load handling equipment manufacturing in the third generation. Grandfather Ernst Kröger laid the foundation for the family's engineering expertise in the field of hoisting equipment. We continue the over 66 years of expertise of the Kröger Kiel crane-building family. In the areas of crane planning and optimization for your production process and/or operation, crane design, crane construction, crane maintenance, and periodic inspections, we can implement even special requirements according to customer specifications with our crane experts, welding engineers, structural engineers, and other specialists.
The planning, design, manufacture, repair and maintenance of load handling equipment and lifting devices of all kinds as well as the inspection and maintenance of lifting gear, racking and personal protective equipment are part of our wide-ranging field of operations.
Our responsibilities also include conducting crane training, crane operator training (indoor/outdoor) and expert training (qualified person), as well as preparing documentation and duplicate test logs.

Warehouse Expansion Kiel
We have leased a secure and flexible storage area at Lagerlöwe Selfstorage Kiel for more than 20 EURO pallet spaces, effective December 1, 2025. This space will be used exclusively for pre-assembled Chain Interlocking Suspension Devices (CID), CID-Wire Rope Slings (ASM) and robust EDELRID steel carabiners with palm safety lock DSG 4000 Steel. To ensure our independence and flexibility remain on-site, we have opted for a third forklift from the product range of Dahlgaard & Co. GmbH.
Our KEV Wire Rope Slings are TÜV-certified
Since July 2025, we have finally been able to hold our TÜV certificate for a conformity test according to EC Directive 2006/42/EC Annex I specifically for our KEV Wire Rope Slings. Our efforts in this regard were preceded by a two-year search for available capacity at a notified body.
