Company
Ormet S.r.l. was established in 1972 as a workshop for the maintenance of industrial vehicles. It took us a short time to become a customer-oriented company, able to anticipate our customers’ needs through research on products and solutions that make work easier.
Platforms is the specialized division of Ormet S.r.l. dedicated to the production and marketing of high-quality man baskets and hydraulic platforms for truck-mounted cranes.
With over 50 years of experience in the lifting sector gained within the Ormet Group, the Business Unit inherits technical expertise, structured methodology, and a vision strongly focused on practical application.
This wealth of know-how translates into safe, reliable, and efficient solutions, designed to effectively meet real operational needs, with the objective of enhancing productivity and ensuring safety in every working environment.
Every product is developed with a clear objective: to ensure consistent performance, operator protection, and regulatory compliance in any operational context.
At Platforms, the product is adapted to the operational environment — not the other way around: each application has specific requirements and therefore demands an appropriate engineering response.
For this reason, we are able to meet the needs of lifting professionals across a wide range of industries.
We specialize in developing products that combine:
- Safety, through systems designed to ensure maximum operator protection and full compliance with CE regulations
- Consistent reliability, thanks to rigorous materials selection and production processes
- Efficiency, to enhance productivity in working-at-height operations
- High build quality
At Platforms, as throughout the entire Ormet Group, corporate values represent the foundation of every strategic and operational decision:
- Passion for excellence, reflected in attention to detail, commitment to quality, and the drive for continuous improvement;
- Innovation as a driver of growth and competitiveness, enabling the development of solutions suited to an ever-evolving market;
- Professionalism built on solid technical expertise and over 50 years of experience;
- Teamwork, because the best solutions arise from collaboration.
In addition to the production and marketing of man baskets and hydraulic platforms, Platforms enhances its offering with a range of complementary services provided by the Ormet Group and its Business Units. These include:
- After-sales service and maintenance;
- Vehicle inspections and periodic checks on truck-mounted cranes, MEWPs, and other lifting equipment;
- Professional training courses for crane and platform operators;
- Sales and installation of truck-mounted cranes and related accessories.
Founded in 1972, the Ormet Group is an Italian industrial company operating in the field of lifting and handling technologies applied to trucks and self-propelled vehicles.
The history of Ormet began in 1972 with the establishment of the first Officina Riparazione di Macchine e Trattori (from which the name ORMET is derived), initially focused on the maintenance of industrial vehicles. From the very beginning, the company distinguished itself through its ability to anticipate customer needs by researching products and solutions designed to simplify everyday work.
Over time, the integration of new expertise and Business Units has supported the Group’s growth, strengthening its position as a leader in its reference market.
The Group’s mission is to be a key player in the country’s development by providing solutions for the optimal installation and outfitting of cranes on mobile vehicles, always aligned with customers’ operational needs. At the core of this vision lies safety as a fundamental and non-negotiable principle guiding every design and organizational decision.
