The mounted PO-335A single-row top lifter, which is in use here in Denmark, is used for automatic filling of crates. The machine shown impresses with its efficiency and user-friendliness and is specially designed to optimise the process of harvesting leeks and filling crates.
The carrot harvester, type SP-260, is a two-row, self-propelled top lifter with a bunker capacity of 11 m³, which can be seen here runs on rubber tracks in Australia. This machine has been specially developed for difficult terrain and offers increased mobility and stability thanks to its robust rubber track. It also stands out for its high harvesting efficiency and versatility.
The T-260 is a trailed, two-row top lifter with a bunker capacity of 11 m³. It has been specially developed for use in garlic harvesting in Brazil.
Windrowers are used in a two-phase delayed harvesting in order to get shell-resistance and robust onions. Here you can see a special solution that windrows three beds in a single passage. This innovative machine optimises the harvesting process through its efficiency and significantly reduces the amount of work required, resulting in a considerable increase in productivity.

From 1936 to today, explore the key moments that have shaped our journey to becoming a innovation leader in vegetable technology.
1936
It all started in a small forge in Dianalund. In 1936, Peder Sørensen founded Karsholte Maskinfabrik, initially focused on repairing agricultural tools, machines, and bicycles.
1983
Recognizing growing interest from international markets, he branded his products as ASA-LIFT. Peder Sørensen renamed it ASA-LIFT after himself and his two partners, both named Asmussen.
2001
Due to growth, ASA-LIFT needed to move to larger facilities thereby moving the entire company from Dianalund to Sorø in 2001.
2012
The German manufacturer GRIMME acquired a 70% majority stake in ASA-LIFT, bringing the company into the GRIMME Group.
2018
ASA-LIFT’s logo and machinery were rebranded to GRIMME’s signature red color.
2019
New factory facilities were built, expanding ASA-LIFT’s production area by an additional 12,653 m². This extension supports increased manufacturing capacity, allowing ASA-LIFT to meet growing demands.
2020
The GRIMME Group acquired the remaining 30% of ASA-LIFT, taking full ownership of the company. ASA-LIFT transitions to a production focused company, no longer handling product sales directly.
2025
Bo Priiskorn and Josef Wilhelms take over as dual leadership from April 1, 2025. Bo Priiskorn will assume the role of Managing Director and Josef Wilhelms the role of Operations Director.
