Warehousing & Dispatch:

As a dedicated supplier of material handling solutions, we understand that time is critical. Our warehouse, boasting a capacity of 2,240 pallet spaces, facilitates the rapid dispatch of lifting equipment included in our stock programme. By maintaining optimal levels of semi-finished products, we significantly reduce order lead times and respond flexibly to our customers' needs. Furthermore, our extensive inventory of spare parts and consumables is vital for ensuring continuous operation and minimising equipment downtime.

  

Lifting Equipment Service & Support:

We offer comprehensive warranty and post-warranty service for all types of lifting machinery. Every technical fault can be consulted with our experts in real-time. Following an initial assessment, we determine whether the equipment requires transport to our service centre or if an on-site repair is the most efficient solution. With a highly experienced team and immediate access to spare parts, we provide expert technical support, rapid diagnostics, and effective repairs to maintain your operational continuity.
