Celebrating a 50-Year Partnership: Heyn Engineering & Demag Cranes

For over half a century, Heyn Engineering has been proudly partnered with Demag Cranes, one of the world’s leading names in industrial lifting technology. What began as a straightforward agreement to supply spare parts has grown into a deeply integrated relationship—one that has helped shape our business, define our reputation, and deliver world-class crane solutions across Ireland.

From Spare Parts to Strategic Solutions

Our partnership with Demag started over 50 years ago, rooted in the supply of components and spare parts. In those early days, Heyn Engineering was primarily focused on sales support. Over time, as Demag evolved their technology and operations, so too did our own expertise. Our team invested in developing the technical knowledge needed to support increasingly sophisticated products, and we took on more responsibility in the procurement and project delivery process, including adopting Demag’s state-of-the-art online portal.

Today, we are proud to be an official Demag partner in Ireland, a relationship that is now firmly embedded within our brand and identity.

A Partnership Built on Milestones

The journey from parts supplier to strategic crane solutions provider has been marked by several key milestones. After gaining extensive experience with Demag’s cranes and components, we began to provide customers with material handling and installing complete crane systems. This has culminated in Heyn Engineering becoming Demag’s main representative for cranes and components across Ireland, with regular referrals and collaboration on bespoke crane solutions for clients throughout the country.

Real Impact for Real Clients

The strength of our partnership with Demag directly benefits our customers. By combining Heyn’s deep industry knowledge and customer-first approach with Demag’s cutting-edge technology, we deliver tailored solutions for even the most complex lifting challenges. Whether it's a custom crane for a tight space or a fully integrated system for a large-scale facility, our partnership ensures no challenge is too great.

We’re proud to be the sole supplier of all lifting equipment for CAT NI, and to have played a key role in the modernisation of the Wrightbus manufacturing workshops. Our solutions support operations for blue-chip clients such as Linamar, Terex, Acheson & Glover, Harland & Wolff, and Thales.

In one particularly unique project, we installed a bespoke crane system at the Bushmills Whiskey Distillery, enabling staff to safely and efficiently service their whiskey stills—a perfect example of how tailored engineering and trusted technology can serve even the most iconic Irish industries.

Looking Ahead

Our relationship with Demag continues to evolve, and we are excited about the future. As we expand our capabilities and deepen our collaboration, we remain committed to delivering excellence in every lift, every system, and every solution.
