Who We Are
We design, build, inspect, and maintain
Originally founded as Liftsafe Inspections in 1991, the Liftsafe Group of Companies is a privately owned company that has grown substantially over the last three decades. Now a group of five companies that supports a wide range of industries in North America and internationally, we know all there is to know about safety, compliance, and support.
We know that from a safety perspective, every client we work with wants to ensure that their employees go home the same or better than they came in every day. In order to do that, every project, piece of equipment and overall facility needs to be safe. Safety to our team means that our products, equipment, inspections, and installations meet and exceed every regulation and compliance standard. We focus on creating turnkey solutions that allow your employees to do their jobs safely while protecting your company.
The Liftsafe Group of Companies is part of Amplex, a privately owned Swedish corporate group that acquires, owns and develops technology-based businesses in selected niches. Offering innovative solutions mainly in lifting technology and materials handling, workplace safety and lighting, the group companies contribute to increased efficiency and competitiveness for their customers.
