Duo Lift Manufacturing Co., Inc. has broken ground on its new 12,000-square-foot office headquarters in Columbus, NE. Constructed in partnership with Bierman Construction of Columbus, this marks a bold new chapter following the 2024 collapse of Duo Lift’s main office building—a challenge that tested the company’s resilience and strengthened its resolve to rebuild stronger than ever.

The new facility will occupy roughly the same footprint as the original building but will feature a second story and a modern, future-focused design. Plans include upgraded office spaces, conference rooms, an extra-large meeting area, a staff lounge, and elevator access—all designed to provide staff and visitors with improved comfort, connectivity, and room for future growth.

Duo Lift currently employs 80–100 full-time staff across its office and manufacturing operations. The new headquarters will enhance the employee experience while positioning the company for decades of continued innovation.

“Our team is proud to break ground on this new headquarters—a project that represents far more than just bricks and mortar,” said Ben Hellbusch, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Duo Lift Manufacturing. “This building has been a long time coming, and it will secure the foundation for our future growth while standing as a symbol of our legacy: delivering innovative equipment built on quality, safety, and dependability. With this project, our facilities will reflect the same level of professionalism and excellence that our customers associate with the Duo Lift name.”

“In addition, we are grateful to our staff and customers who stood with us through the challenges of temporary office solutions,” Hellbusch said. “Their patience and commitment kept us moving forward. Now, the time has come to give our team the space they deserve—an environment built for collaboration, innovation, and success.”

The project is expected to take 10 months, with a grand opening slated for summer 2026.
