Innovators who
challenge and improve
We are RF - an innovative and driven player manufacturing high-quality railway, ground, and construction products in Vinslöv, Skåne.
Unique product range
At RF, we develop and create the products we want to work with ourselves. With us, you will find a unique assortment developed by RF, produced in Vinslöv, and tested by our customers. Many of our innovations are now flagship products in the industry.
Our wide range of Kinshofer products
RF is local and based in Vinslöv but simultaneously global, operating in an international market as we are part of the Kinshofer Group. This means we have a wide range of products through our sister companies, with products for every need.
Satisfied customers are our top priority
Close customer contact and a high level of service are as important to us as they are to you. That is why our staff is available to help you when needed. You can always feel safe with us as we have a reliable after-sales service for those who have purchased our products.
Large spare parts stock and excellent aftermarket support
Since 1978, we have been operating in Vinslöv, Sweden. This means we have long-standing relationships with our customers and want them to be able to use their favourite products for as long as possible. Our spare parts stock is extensive, and we can offer rare spare parts for many products no longer in production. Feel free to contact us and ask what we have in stock.
INNOVATION & DEVELOPMENT
Creative product development is in our DNA
When RF was founded in 1978, it was with the conviction that innovative products could streamline the work of contractors. Many years have passed since the first smart cable ploughs left RF, but we are still driven to find creative and practical solutions to problems in areas such as groundwork and construction.
Throughout the years, close collaboration with our customers has been the foundation of product development. We have often received suggestions and inquiries that we have been able to develop into new or improved products – after all; it’s the contractors working in the field who see the needs in their specific businesses! We always test our product ideas with users, often leading to new suggestions and perspectives. When a product is nearing its final stage, we ask our test pilots, who are contractors, to use the new product in full-scale tests for an extended period. Only after final approval does the new product enter our range.
RF'S HISTORY
We deliver the products that our customers demand
Bo Andersson founded RF-System as a part-time company in 1978 when he saw a need for smart cable ploughs and other cable and line work equipment in the market. The range expanded gradually, and RF now has the country’s broadest assortment in groundwork and construction. By focusing on innovative product development in close collaboration with customers, RF continues to deliver efficient products to contractors.
Since 2011, RF-System has been a subsidiary of the Kinshofer Group. Nowadays, the company is much larger than a part-time company, but manufacturing remains firmly rooted in the Scanian soil of Vinslöv. And that cable plough? It is still part of our core range.
Kinshofer Group
The world's leading company in construction
RF-System is a subsidiary of the German company Kinshofer, which was founded in 1971 in Bavaria by Alfred Kinshofer. Since then, Kinshofer has grown into a global player and is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of accessories for loaders and excavators.
The parent company, Kinshofer Group, operates in several areas, including construction, demolition, recycling, scrap handling, railway equipment, material handling, forestry, as well as earthworks and drilling. Together, Kinshofer Group offers an unrivaled product range with global reach.
Kinshofer Group is part of the Lifco Group, an international Swedish corporation that specializes in acquiring and developing market-leading niche companies. Lifco Group’s main shareholder is Carl Bennet, an influential Swedish businessman with a long-term commitment to the company.
