All-in-one solution for complex projects

HOFF has expanded its services to include mechanical engineering. With this extension, we provide full support for complex technical systems, from concept through to production. The focus: reliable, buildable systems with moving components, designed for onboard applications. Whether it’s a lift, hatch, door or foldable construction, we deliver technical depth and production-ready output as part of a complete package.

Complete Package
โ€œForm, space, and functionality demand thoughtful detailed design. By staying in control, we ensure quality and consistency across every project. We deliver a complete work package, including full Bills of Materials. Thatโ€™s efficiency done right.โ€

Why HOFF is taking this step

With our broad experience in basic engineering, we know how essential it is to approach technical systems in context. Nothing stands on its own. Spatial integration, operation, loads, and maintenance are always interconnected. For us, mechanical engineering is a natural extension of how we already work to make a real impact for our clients.

We can take over specific parts of a project without requiring you to hand over the entire process. Think of assignments where a system needs to move as intended, but also must be calculated, modeled, and made production-ready down to the last detail.

Trusted Partner

“As a client, you want a single partner who sees the big picture and masters the details. At HOFF, we build on a solid foundation in basic engineering, combined with deep expertise in mechanical systems. The result: technical solutions that integrate seamlessly into the overall design and are ready for production.”

โ€“ Marcel Kruithof, Founding Partner

How We Work

We engineer all mechanical systems in Autodesk Inventor, bringing every component, movement, and dependency into one cohesive (3D) model. This provides immediate insight into the systemโ€™s operation and forms the direct basis for drawings, tolerances, material specifications, and bills of materials.

Everything is built from one central model. Parametric by design. No conversions between tools, no loss of information. More importantly, the output from Inventor connects directly with the workflows of your suppliers. Turning, milling, and cutting operations can be prepared directly from our output, without additional interpretation or manual translation.

This avoids errors, speeds up decision-making, and reduces the need for coordination across disciplines or external teams. You stay in control and maintain clarity all the way to the final result.

What You Can Expect

We step in where you need us. Sometimes that means extra modeling capacity. In other cases, it means full preparation for a mechanical system thatโ€™s ready for production. In both scenarios, we consider functionality, available space, mounting, and loads and deliver a solution thatโ€™s technically complete and ready for practical use.

Mechanical systems demand technical depth: how they move, how theyโ€™re fixed in place, how they behave under load, and how they can be maintained. By incorporating all these factors, we deliver solutions that not only make sense on paper but also work in your real-world project.

From concept, to basic engineering, to detailed design, to technical output.

Why Choose HOFF?

As a yard or supplier, you want a partner who understands your project, someone who sees the whole picture, asks the right questions, and makes sure every technical detail is correct. At HOFF, we combine a solid foundation in basic engineering with deep knowledge of mechanical design. We understand how a system functions within the broader context and how to engineer it to perform reliably.

You define the scope. Whether that means a model, a drawing, or a full set of production documentation. We make sure the process is efficient, communication is clear, and the result is technically sound.

We work structured, and with purpose. No noise between tools or teams. One partner translating ideas into buildable, functional systems.
