Pinguely

The company was formed in the year 1881 within Lyon, France by Alexandre Pinguely. The company initially build steam engines. The company evolved into making machinery eventually. During 1892, they provided a train to the Chemin de Fer de St Victor a Thizy.



Pinguely supplied 7 steam engines to the Voiron-Saint-Beron railway. When it comes to numbers produced, Pinguely was not a main locomotive manufacturer. The company supplied a steam train to the Chemin de Fer du Haut-Rhone during 1930 and by 1932, Pinguely began making steam shovels. Production of steam locomotives was stopped and the company began concentrating instead on mobile cranes and making earthmoving machinery instead.



Haulotte

In 1924, Haulotte was established in L'Horme by Arthur Haulotte. The company was known as Ateliers de Construction A. Haulotte. This company specialized in manufacturing mobile cranes, derricks and aerial platforms.



Pinguely-Haulotte

It was decided that the actual manufacturing was to be sub-contracted to Pinguely-Haulotte. They were to be responsible for the marketing and engineering, research, design and development. All products were abandoned by Saubot so that the business could focus on self-propelled aerial work platforms.
