Zijtveld since 1995: simplicity that works
Sometimes something big starts with something small. An idea. A conviction. In 1995 Jaap van Zijtveld began with a clear goal: to build grippers that do what they are supposed to do, without fuss. No superfluous technology, no complicated design. Just robust quality, genuine Dutch craftsmanship.
From vision to trusted brand
What began as a modest workshop grew into an internationally recognized brand. Not by big words, but by smart solutions that prove their worth time and again on the construction site, in demolition, recycling and forestry. The strength of Zijtveld? Simplicity. No button too many, no function without function.
Built in the Netherlands, tested in practice
For more than 30 years we have been designing and building everything ourselves at Zijtveld. In our own factory, with people who know their trade. That means: control of every detail and an end product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. Our grabs are used daily under the toughest conditions and continue to perform.
Simplicity is not a limitation. It is a choice.
We believe that simplicity paves the way for reliability. By focusing on what really matters, we make grippers that are easy to use, easy to maintain and most importantly: made to last.
Our grapples are designed with the operator in mind. No twenty-page manuals. No surprises in the field. Only functional power, ultimate ease of use and durable performance.
More than technology, a mindset
What drives us is more than metal and hydraulics. It is a way of thinking. A commitment to quality, innovation and service. We listen to our customers, build on feedback and keep looking forward. Every new grab that leaves our factory is a step forward, and then of course without forgetting our roots.
30 years later: still the same mission
Zijtveld has grown. But the essence has remained the same: simplicity that works. It's in our DNA, in every component we make, and in every customer relationship we maintain. We don't build grippers to impress. We build them to perform.
Zijtveld Grippers, getting a grip on what really works. Since 1995.
