The plant lifting equipment named after SM Kirov

In 1852, construction began on the largest, by that time, St. Petersburg- Warsaw railway. For the repair of the railway rolling stock by 1868 repair shops were established. They produced six passenger and commodity locomotives . In the future, the production of locomotives ceased, the workshops were redeveloped to repair rolling stock. At the beginning of the 20th century in Russia there existed a single enterprise for the production of crane equipment - the Moscow plant "Lift". Only after the Civil War , the active development of crane construction began. In 1928, at the Krasny Oktyabr plant in Leningrad, mastered the production of lifting and transport equipment, which in 1930 was allocated to independent production, developing on the basis of Petersburg repair shops at the Warsaw Railway ^[1] . In 1931, the company received the name "Plant of hoisting-and-transport equipment named after SM Kirov".

March 1968 For great services in the design and manufacture of lifting and transport equipment PTV plant them. Kirov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor .

1973 Designers of the plant began designing a unique ring-mounted crane to service the world's largest blast furnace No. 9 of 5000 cubic meters being built at the Krivoy Rog Metallurgical Plant.

1974. Of the total number of cranes, 27 were produced with a Quality Mark (22% of the total output of crane products).

1993 LPO PTO them. Kirov becomes a joint-stock company "Podymtransmash."

1997 The 80-ton railway crane was manufactured for the Ministry of Railways of Russia.

In 2000, the plant was declared bankrupt, part of its property was sold ^[2] in the former territory of the plant appeared shopping centers, office space and furniture factory ^[3] .

In June 2003, OJSC Podyomtransmash was restructured and the plant got the historical name “PTO Plant. S.M. Kirov.

For seven decades of its existence, more than 15,000 units of crane products were manufactured, and its own design, technological and production base was created. Products of the Leningrad Plant VET them. S. M. Kirov works on all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Also, the equipment manufactured by the plant stands on the launch space complexes of Russia and Kazakhstan. With the help of machines manufactured at Podyomtransmash OJSC, the Bratskaya, Krasnoyarskaya, Sayano-Shushenskaya, Aswan hydropower plants were built; Volga-Baltic Canal, Tsimlyanskoe reservoir , Sarcophagus of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant , flood defenses (St. Petersburg). The company is working on the creation of modern technology, modernization of production, production of spare parts for products manufactured by Podyomtransmash and imported. Today ZPTO them. SM Kirov is a member of the Technoros group of companies.
