About
Formed in 1992 by Ian Thorpe and now run by his daughter, Sally Percy. The company began hiring small gantry hoists to facilitate canal works and grew from there.
We now supply everything at the smaller end of the hoisting market from 150KG scaffold hoist to 500KG platform hoists reaching up to 50 metres. Specialising in smaller hoists means we are experts in installing hoists into sites with difficult access or compromised spaces. Our hoists are able to be fixed to scaffolding only making them favourable to conservation jobs where attaching to a building is not an option.
We offer a full inspection, testing and repair service of your hoists
We are active members of the Construction Hoist Interest Group
