For more than four decades, LPI Lift Systems, a subsidiary of Plank Enterprises, has been engineering and manufacturing personnel lifts and work platforms that help people work safer, more productively, and with confidence at height.
Founded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, LPI began in 1981 developing pneumatic manlifts for large industrial paint and finishing booths—a focus that established our reputation for safety, reliability, and custom engineering. Today, our capabilities extend far beyond surface finishing to include aerospace, transportation, construction equipment, energy, and general manufacturing industries across North America and beyond.
What sets LPI apart is our ability to design, build, and support both standard and fully customized lift systems, each one engineered to match the specific process, space, and safety requirements of our customers. From initial concept through fabrication and final testing, every lift is Made in the USA and backed by responsive service and technical expertise.
At LPI, our mission is simple: elevate safety, improve ergonomics, and increase productivity wherever people work at height.
