We have existed as a company for 115 years, starting as a grocer and metalworker, but for over 50 years as a crane rental company. This year, we are taking the opportunity to refresh our corporate identity.

The world has come to a standstill due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the first fully electric crane is also being delivered to us by manufacturer Spierings.

After the establishment of a collaborative branch in Utrecht, it was decided to acquire 100% of the shares and take over the management of the branch ourselves.

In Hoogeveen, an agreement is reached regarding the acquisition of POL crane rental.

With branches now in Oldenzaal, Twello, Neede, Dedemsvaart, Arnhem, Deventer, and Bad Bentheim, and over 70 cranes, Kuiphuis is a crane rental company where only “Certainty at the highest level” counts!

No less than five new cranes are purchased in the spring of 2015. This marks the largest investment ever for our company. Additionally, in December, there was an expansion with 18 semi-mobile trolley cranes through an acquisition.

Due to the expansion of the customer base and region, a new branch will be opened in Arnhem in 2014.

The branches in Neede and Dedemsvaart are relocating to new sites.

Kraanverhuur Nederland is an initiative of six leading regional companies in vertical transport. It aims to offer nationwide services to customers operating nationally and in various regions.

Verreiker Verhuur Oost is established as an addition to existing services. Thanks to a new (additional) name, brand awareness is increased, and the rental market is better served.

Kuiphuis is relocating to a new site in Oldenzaal. This location offers ample opportunities for further growth, and in September 2008, the more than 11,000m2 premises will be festively opened with an open day for staff and customers.

Kuiphuis is relocating to a new site in Twello. This location offers ample opportunities for further growth, and in mid-2006, the more than 7,000m2 premises will be festively opened for staff and family.

Kuiphuis is acquiring the crane rental activities of Van Keulen Kraanbedrijf in Twello. The activities of both companies complement each other perfectly, making the company a major rental provider in the Eastern Netherlands.

In 1997, Kuiphuis Kraanverhuur B.V. celebrates its 25th anniversary. With over 20 mobile telescopic cranes and mobile trolley cranes in daily rental, this makes Kuiphuis a healthy and solid company.

Our company has been active in the Achterhoek region for a long time. The expansion in Neede means our company is no longer limited to Twente.

Due to extensive work in Germany, it was decided to establish a German company (GmbH).

After a significant recession in the Netherlands, Kuiphuis made a good start with the new business premises in Oldenzaal.

At the end of 1984, the Bruijsten family decided to completely take over the company and continue it under the name Kuiphuis. In 1985, the acquisition was fully realized, and the company was ready for a new start.

A tragic accident in which almost the entire Kuiphuis family perished marks 1982.

Many new customers: crane fleet with 5 cranes. A growing company, many new customers with more lifting jobs made the acquisition of various cranes possible over time. By 1977, the crane fleet consisted of no less than 5 cranes.

The first hydraulic crane is acquired due to increasing demand for mobile cranes.

There was a need to move loading platforms. The necessary equipment was lacking, so an old army truck was purchased and converted into a crane.

Around 1920, the business expanded into a blacksmith's shop, with its main activities being shoeing horses and repairing agricultural machinery.

Kuiphuis originated around 1908 as a grocery store and specialty cigar shop.
