Students help develop the Landkrabban lifting device

Easier to lift housing modules in ports

Right now we are getting help from five students on the course "Sustainable Product Development" at Karlstad University to further develop a product we have constructed called "Landkrabban". A lifting device that makes it easier and faster to lift housing modules on and off boats and lorries at, for example, a port.

Tasked with creating the next generation of lifting yoke

To make the product even faster and easier to use the students have been given the task of developing a concept for the creation of the next generation of lifting yoke.

"It's really fun and exciting to get to do something real, and not just flick through books. Since it's a course we need to spend some time meeting the course goals, but I would gladly have put even more focus on the actual work," says Eric Johansson, who is the project manager for the student work.
