Crane tasks require special drives: Loads must be safely lifted, precisely positioned and gently set down, also with simultaneous movements of cranes and trolleys. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has the right drive solutions for this.

An efficient and economical solution for heavy loads.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS was assessed by the rating agency EcoVadis and awarded the silver sustainability certificate in 2022. In the overall ranking, the North German company is in the top six percent of manufacturers in the industry assessed by EcoVadis.

Before the turn of the year 2022/2023, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will cross the sales of 1 billion euros for the first time. The company sees this as confirmation from its customers.

Whether storing, conveying, weighing and dosing, or loading and unloading: NORD DRIVESYSTEMS develops and produces scalable drive solutions for all sectors of the bulk goods industry. The drives are individually tailored to the customised application, and offer high energy efficiency paired with a robust design.

With high thermal limit powers, MAXXDRIVE XT industrial gear units have been optimised for bulk logistics applications such as belt conveyor systems.

For the crane industry, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers complete drive solutions from a single source that are characterised by maximum energy efficiency, economy and reliability. The service- and maintenance-friendly drives reduce downtimes and contribute to an increased efficiency and availability of the entire system.

Lifting applications place special demands on the installation space for drives. With MAXXDRIVE^® XD, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has now developed an industrial gear unit with increased centre distance that is ideally suited to the U-shaped configuration of drive, motor and cable drum.

How economic can an investment be? If you take the lifecycle of drive systems, only 15 percent of the Total Cost of Ownership is distributed on the purchase price, around 85 percent result from downstream processes. It is therefore important to not only keep an eye on the investment costs when making a purchase decision but also on the costs for energy and the ongoing operation, i.e. administration processes, service and maintenance, spare parts stocking or disposal.
