About Us

Penny Engineering is a multi-award-winning lifting equipment manufacturer based in Derbyshire. We are an employee-owned business, proud to have manufactured in the UK for 45 years, and we carry out all the functions of a fully integrated company with design, manufacturing, quality control, after sales support and a nationwide service operation.

We’ve grown to become the UK’s leading lorry-loader crane manufacturer, goods lift manufacturer and lighting winch manufacturer and our equipment can be found at prestigious sites across the globe from Buckingham Palace all the way to the Guinness factory in Nigeria! Last year, we operated in 22 countries worldwide, also providing specialist design and manufacturing services to the nuclear decommissioning, mining and tyre handling industries. Typically, a customer will be a large “blue chip” organisation such as BT, Royal Mail, JD Wetherspoon or a Sellafield Nuclear Reprocessing Plant with a specific load handling problem. We are partnered with industry’s leading professional and trade organisations and are approved commercial vehicle converters for vehicle mounted lifting equipment for major vehicle manufacturers including Ford, Renault, and Volkswagen.

The company takes its social responsibilities very seriously. Sustainability is thought about in everything that we do and we were delighted to receive the Green Business of the Year award at this year’s Derbyshire Changer of Commerce Annual Awards. The company plays a major role in the local community supporting school children and college leavers with work experience and conducting mock interviews at local schools. We support a number of local charities and are active members of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.
