At Rentop, we build a better way to work in the lifting industry.
In the mid-2010s, our founder Lauri Lauhikari started thinking: what if crane companies could focus fully on their machines and projects, while someone else took care of the people operating them?
If companies didn’t have to worry about staffing, they could focus on delivering projects and scaling their operations with confidence. At the same time, the crane people on site would get the care they deserved — covering their skills, safety, working conditions, and well-being.
And as these stories often go, that “someone else” turned out to be Lauri himself.
The idea wouldn’t let go.
That’s how Rentop was born in 2018.
Today, Rentop is a growing international lifting specialist. We provide experienced crane operators and deep knowledge of lifting work for projects of all sizes around the world.
We work closely with almost all Finnish crane companies and with leading international players, employing over 100 lifting professionals and experts. Our offices are located in Finland and Poland.
We are known as a flexible, solution-oriented lifting specialist working through people. Our team includes already the largest number of mobile crane operators in Europe.
Our work is guided by high standards, genuine care for the people doing the work, and full accountability. We aim to be a fair, reliable, long-term partner – for both our employees and our clients.
Easy to work with. Clear in what we deliver. That’s what we mean by being an uplifting partner.
