How Arvanta Works

Market development, not engineering or manufacturing

Arvanta is a market-development and manufacturers’ representative firm. Arvanta does not manufacture lifting equipment and does not provide engineering services. Arvanta builds distributor, integrator, crane-company and direct industrial routes to market for the manufacturers it represents.

Arvanta coordinates the application discussion between the customer, channel partner and manufacturer so the proposed device is aligned with the load, duty cycle, crane and operating environment. Capacity, design and suitability remain the responsibility of the manufacturer and the engineer of record.
