Chapter 01 · About LOADMATE
Thirty-five years of lifting India’s heaviest industries.
LOADMATE was founded in 1991 in Surat by Mr R.K. Garg — one product line, one conviction: that Indian industry deserved cranes built to international standards, here at home. Today, every crane is still designed, fabricated, and load-tested under our own roof.

Chapter 03 · Leadership
We started in 1991 with a single product and a simple belief — that we should build ourselves what we put our name on. That belief has stayed with us through every product we’ve added since.R.K. Garg Visionary Founder & Group MD, LOADMATE Industries Pvt Ltd
That single product was the manual chain pulley block, built by Mr R.K. Garg in 1991. The belief behind it never changed — and it grew into eight product categories manufactured at LOADMATE’s Surat facility by an in-house team of 100+ engineers, technicians, and specialists. Design, fabrication, painting, load-testing, and dispatch — everything the LOADMATE name goes on is still built by LOADMATE hands, with nothing sub-contracted.
Leadership today
Knowledge builds machines, vision builds companies, and continuous improvement builds legacies. At LOADMATE, we work on all three every single day.Mr. Manish Agarwal Chief Executive Officer, LOADMATE Industries Pvt Ltd
Under CEO Mr. Manish Agarwal, those three ideas run the company daily. Knowledge — a 100+ in-house engineering team that is trained, assessed, and certified continuously. Vision — scaling LOADMATE from a respected manufacturer into a national material-handling brand serving India and 30+ export markets. Continuous improvement — modernising design, fabrication, and processes year on year, so every crane leaving Surat is better than the one before it.

Chapter 05 · How we make it
How a LOADMATE crane gets built.
Every step happens under our control — from the first design sketch to commissioning on your shop floor.
-
01
Design
Our engineering team specs every crane to your SWL, span, lift height, and duty class. CAD drawings are issued for your approval before any steel is cut. The crane that arrives on site matches the spec on paper — no surprises.
-
02
Fabricate
Structural steel is cut, welded, and assembled at our Surat facility. Wire rope hoists, chain hoists, end-trucks, control panels — we manufacture all of it ourselves. Nothing is sub-contracted.
-
03
Load-test
Every unit is load-tested at 125% of rated capacity before it is finished. Test certificates are issued with every unit. If it fails the test, it doesn’t ship.
-
04
Paint
Surface preparation, primer, and finish coats applied to industrial standards. Epoxy painting suited to the conditions inside steel plants, cement works, and other harsh environments.
-
05
Dispatch & commission
The crane is disassembled for transport, packed, and shipped to your site. LOADMATE engineers travel to install and commission. We don’t hand off to a third party.
Every crane is load-tested at 125% of its rated capacity before it leaves the factory. Witnessed testing available on request — come and watch your crane lift more than it will ever be asked to.
Chapter 06 · What we commit to
Every product, to a published standard.
No verbal assurances. Every LOADMATE product is engineered to a written, published standard — each product class is designed, built and tested to its governing Indian Standard.
