Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, Camac manufacturers a complete range of mast climbing work platforms, transport platforms, material hoists and passenger lifts, as well as other auxiliary equipment for the construction industry.

Originally, in the 1960s Camac was concentrated on the production of small machinery, such as concrete mixers and wire hoists. In the following decades, driven by market needs and demands, the company expanded its range of products with a variety of lifting equipment and tools for the construction industry.

One of the highlights from Camac is its rack and pinion hoists for materials (material hoists), which offer capacities of 250-1,700 kg and a height of up to 150 m. Designed with various basket dimensions, they are ideal for installing on the facade or scaffolding. All models include an emergency brake.

The Camac Smart material hoist, which has a payload of 250 kg, is designed specifically to work with scaffolding systems. This unit is light and compact, with reduced dimensions, allowing its easy installation inside the scaffold. Other material hoists from Camac include the EC-HA-500/120 for lift shaft, EC-600/120, EC-1000/150 and EC-1700/150, with payloads of 500 kg, 600 kg, 1,000 kg and 1,700 kg respectively.

Speaking to the global trade media at a recent press event, Gabriel Jorba, Camac sales and managing director, said that the company’s transport platforms – designed for lifting personnel and materials – have been growing in demand internationally. These units feature different dimensions and capacities, with a height of up to 150 m.

Camac transport platforms can also be installed quickly on the jobsite. There are three models available, namely the ECP-500/120, ECP-1000/150 and ECP-1500/150, with payloads of 500 kg, 1,000 kg and 1,500 kg respectively.

According to Mr Jorba, Camac is currently looking for investors to accelerate the company’s growth in the global market and it is open to be acquired.

Solar panel hoists

Mr Jorba explained that in the last three years or so, given the booming solar power sector globally, Camac has also developed ladder hoists suitable for solar panel installation. These lightweight, modular aluminium structures are able to lift materials onto roofs and decks.

The ladder hoist Driver 100 has a payload of 100 kg. It operates with a simple battery-powered screwdriver, with no need for any electrical sources. Its height in inclined installation is 12 m. Meanwhile, the ladder hoist 150 with a payload of 150 kg can work in either a vertical or an inclined position. Its height in vertical and inclined installation is 30 m and 15.5 m, respectively.

The ladder hoist 200 features a payload of 200 kg. It can also work in either a vertical or an inclined position in order to adapt to the needs of every building site. Its height in vertical and inclined installation is 40 m and 20 m, respectively.
