Tools to get the job done.

Our range of Vehicle Mounted Lifting Equipment (VME) and davits are designed to reduce the risk of manual handling related injuries and increase the efficiency of workforces.

Increased Efficiency

Unplanned downtime and keeping customers waiting is costly and bad for business. So, it is integral that your processes and solutions eliminate both.

Improved Health & Safety

The HSE states that 1 in 3 accidents at work are caused by manual handling. The introduction of a mechanical lifting aid can help to protect your staff and to reduce the risk of injury.

Low impact on payload / footprint of vehicle

We’ve worked hard to keep the weight of our lifting solutions low to minimise the impact on remaining payload. Enabling the customer to lift and move a large amount of items from A to B. They’ve also been designed to be compact and have little impact on the overall footprint of the van leaving lots of workable space.
