About Us
Our highly-skilled engineering team brings over 60 years of combined experience from across the industry, delivering trusted expertise and innovative solutions tailored to your needs.
Levate was initially founded in a home garage by John Davies, Sales and Services Director, and Paul Austin, Manufacturing and Projects Director. Both John and Paul had previously enjoyed successful careers spanning several decades within the engineering industry, resulting in extensive collective knowledge and experience.
With these solid foundations - and engaging the services of a freelance designer and various contractors - business took off quickly, with some of the first cranes manufactured being commissioned by a giant luxury car manufacturer, with a pair of cranes costing just £54k at the time.
Quickly outgrowing their humble surroundings John and Paul sought larger premises and the Levate Solutions as we know it today was formed. Now operating from two sites - Shrewsbury (dedicated to design, servicing, sales and accounts), and Telford (expertly handling the fabrication process) - Levate has grown to a sizable team of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and control system design specialists - all brilliantly supported by our friendly and efficient office staff.
We design fully-automated control systems that put you in command - powered by advanced technology and expert engineering. In an industry that’s constantly evolving, we’re committed to helping you stay ahead, delivering innovative solutions that make material handling smarter, safer, and more efficient.
Allow us to introduce you to our core team at the heart of these efforts … ​
