Levelling the construction field with Ahlm self-levelling screed machines

Ahlm is an industry leader in construction solutions, operating in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Powered by Perkins, Ahlm’s self-levelling screed machines are helping reduce time and labour on sites by applying smooth, even mixes that support consistent, level finishes.

A level surface is a necessary foundation for safety on a construction site and helps crews deliver higher-quality infrastructure with greater accuracy and long-term durability. Ahlm’s self-levelling screed machines complete this crucial step much faster than manual labour, reducing time on site and improving overall project efficiency.

To ensure reliability and maximise uptime in their machines, Ahlm relies on the Perkins® 1204J-E44TTAG engine to deliver both small- and large- scale flooring projects. “Any downtime exceeding 15 minutes can generate costs between 100,000 and 200,000 SEK (15,952.50 GBP),” says Rickard Jeppsson, service technician at Ahlm. “Reliability is crucial. Our machines operate in modes where the load can shift from 5% to 70–80% within seconds, and Perkins engines consistently handle these rapid changes without compromising performance or reliability.”

Ahlm rely on Universal Power, their local Perkins distributor for assistance with delivering engines and support where needed with 24-hour availability. “Our customers count on our machines to be operational, and that’s what these suppliers give us,” says Rickard. “Working with Perkins and Universal Power will help Ahlm remain at the forefront of performance and reliability.”
