HETEK Systems at MSPO 2026

27 July 2026
HETEK Lift- und Hebetechnik GmbH, a German manufacturer of specialized lifting systems for military logistics and special applications, is joining the roster of exhibitors at the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO). The company will present solutions enabling autonomous loading, unloading, and levelling of containers and functional modules without requiring cranes or forklifts.

For many years, HETEK has been engineering technologies utilized by armed forces and security services worldwide. The company’s systems are deployed in the operation of logistics containers, field kitchens, mobile hospitals, command posts, and radar installations. Their robust design allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure, even in the most challenging field conditions.

At MSPO 2026, the company will showcase the Lifting System 260, comprising four support legs capable of raising and positioning containers or functional modules weighing up to 15 tonnes without any additional handling equipment. This solution significantly enhances unit mobility and dramatically cuts the time needed to prepare field equipment for operational readiness.

The system has been purpose-built to operate in the most demanding environments. Hermetically sealed drive mechanisms safeguard the system against sand and dust ingress, allowing seamless operation via either electric or manual drive. An integrated tilt-control system enables precise levelling of the container, even on highly uneven terrain.

HETEK’s portfolio also includes compatible levelling systems along with comprehensive after-sales support—encompassing inspections, repairs, training, and spare parts supply. This ensures the company’s solutions remain fully operational over long service lifespans, even in the most punishing military applications.

In 2025, HETEK was awarded the prestigious "Hidden Champion Thuringia" title, an honour bestowed upon enterprises recognised as global or European tech leaders within their specialised fields. The company's presence at MSPO 2026 offers a prime opportunity to discover state-of-the-art solutions driving mobility and logistics for modern armed forces.
