About us
Since 1973, IMS has been offering its professional customers relevant handling solutions focused on key specialties, such as the design and production of air-cushioned handling equipment.
Winner of the Innovation Trophy at the 2003 PARIS European Handling Biennial, IMS has expertise in the field of autonomous powertrain solutions for floor surface handling of heavy loads.
Our know-how, acquired over many years of experience, supports ergonomics and businesses to facilitate operators’ handling and processing of goods.
IMS offers a range of ergonomic equipment for the layout of operator workstations to make repetitive operations easier and prevent MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders).
IMS offers industry players relevant handling tools, in particular our partner SANO’s range of stair-climber electric dollies, for motorised heavy package handling assistance on stairs.
At IMS (Inter Manutention Système), we study, design, manufacture and assemble our equipment in-house to master product quality.
IMS is a business unit of the French group IMS Extension.
IMS and its 15 employees are located in Bonneval, Eure-et-Loir (Centre-Val de Loire region, France).
We operate in France and Europe.

Start of production
Our company IMS Manutention
Our company IMS Manutention provides products below.
IMS designs, manufactures and implements standard or customised omnidirectional, turnkey air-cushioned handling systems on site.
Air cushion modules may be fitted to existing structures for transport purposes; in the case of exceptional handling operations, they may be placed directly under the load.
Pressure in the air cushion modules is increased until they lift the load and an air film is established between them and the floor surface; for this process to succeed, surface must be smooth and watertight. (Click here to see surface specifications.)
The load thus floats on a film of air, with almost no friction; as a consequence, it is easy to moveand position heavy loads with very little effort, and in whatever direction.
IMS also creates electric micro pusher-tractors.
First, IMS micro pusher-tractors are autonomous, manoeuvrable, and compact, for effortless rolling load handling.
IMS designs micro pusher-tractors for all types of large rolling loads, as well as roll kickers to move cylinders (e.g., cable reels, paper reels, or vehicle tyres), in complement to our motorised, electric propulsion drawbar.
Then, IMS also offers motorisation kits for retrofitting specific, existing rolling equipment that needs to be fitted for powered displacement.
IMS Manutention also offers ergonomic workstations.
IMS specialises in the design and installation of ergonomic operator workstations
Ergonomic operator workstation fit-outs
These options were designed with the aim of improving operator workstation ergonomics, to prevent MSDs.
To address the variety of industrial environments, IMS products accomplish the four essential, universal movements of:
- Elevation – lifting a load
- Tilting – angling a load
- Rotation – orienting a load
- Mobility – moving a load
- Combined Functions – Elevation with Rotation – Elevation with Tilt – Elevation with Tilt and Rotation
Load carriers distributed or made by IMS.
IMS is the exclusive France distributor of LIFTKAR stair-climber dollies developed by SANO.
In addition, IMS offers a range of innovative handling assistance tools for daily load handling needs.
