About PLANETA
Engineering Innovation with Tradition –
Since 1861
A Legacy of Lifting – Since 1861
Challenge: Gravity
PLANETA represents the perfect blend of tradition and forward-thinking innovation in the world of lifting technology. Our roots go back to 1861, when master locksmith Hermann Wilhelmi opened his own workshop in Mülheim an der Ruhr – laying the foundation for what would later become the renowned lifting equipment company Wilhelmi, now known as PLANETA Hebetechnik since 2003.
Driven by an unwavering pursuit of precision, our products soon shaped not only individual workshops, but entire industries. Branches in Paris, Vienna and Shanghai followed, becoming key hubs in our global network and expressions of our international expertise.
Quality and safety have always been the driving forces behind our growth. Our certifications according to DIN EN ISO 9000:2001 and strict Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards are not just framed certificates – they are promises embedded in every PLANETA product and service.
Today, PLANETA doesn’t just follow the evolution of lifting technology – we help shape it. Our goal is to perfect every detail, so our hoists not only lift heavy loads, but also elevate safety, efficiency and technical progress for our customers around the world.
