Alliance Tool Hire has launched a new lifting division, as the business aims to establish a £1m per annum department in a sector where products and specialist services are in increasingly high demand.
A prominent part of the company since its inception in 2011, Alliance has made a further recent £300k investment in extra LEEA-qualified lifting engineers, additional equipment and bespoke software to support testing, inspection and management of customer equipment.
The lifting hire portfolio includes material hoists and gantry systems, plus moving equipment including block grabs, chain hoists, machine skates and man-riding equipment from Genie, Mace, Loadsurfer, Tractel and Conquip.
The business supports all rental items with the sale of a number of accessories including shackles, chain slings and webbing slings.
The engineers have the required accreditations to carry out six or 12 monthly LOLER inspections in-house. They can manage and maintain customers’ lifting equipment inventory in addition to advanced services including mechanical and beam testing and onsite installations..
Target customers are in the construction and civil engineering, demolition, metal fabrication, roofing, waterproofing and cladding sectors. The business also operates with several large haulage companies, mainly delivering testing and technical advice.
“Lifting has been a core component of our business since day one. I would go as far as to say that we are experts in the field and only one of a handful of firms in the rental industry who can supply such an in-depth level of products, services and software solutions." said CEO Beth Peters.
"While many hire firms have recently been withdrawing from the market we see nothing but potential. By creating our own Lifting Division through further significant investment we have put ourselves in a great position to grow this area of the business exponentially.”
