About us
ISETRON engineers and manufactures force measurement technology for cranes and hoists, since 1978.
Company
Founded in 1978 by Andreas Pitter; Thomas Köster took the company over in 1987 and relocated it to Sande, Lower Saxony, in 1993. Since 2003 we have been manufacturing at our current site at Elektronikring 8. The managing directorship passed to Christian Bönig in 2018; from summer 2025 the company trades as ISETRON GmbH under managing director Daniel Herrmann.
Manufacturing in Sande.
Sensors for the safe measurement of tensile and compressive forces on hoists, from a single load pin for a one-off design to series-production overload protection. Manufacturing runs at our Sande site, certified to DIN EN ISO 9001.
Repair and calibration.
Our own sensors we repair and refurbish in our workshop. Sensors from other manufacturers we inspect, calibrate, and replace with a substitute unit when needed.

From Sande to the harbour, the steelworks, the building site.
Three principles.
From one-offs to series
Every project starts from the application: geometry, load path, environment. From a single piece to series production, manufacturing runs in Sande to DIN EN ISO 9001.
Manufacturer-agnostic service
We repair and refurbish our own units; for sensors from other manufacturers we handle inspection, calibration, and replacement. The measurement chain has to keep running, regardless of whose transducer started the job.
Designed and built on site
Engineering, manufacturing, and final test all under one roof. Short paths, one point of contact.
