We offer certified chain slings, web slings, and shackles for all your lifting needs, where quality and certification are crucial. Our lifting gear is regularly inspected to meet all lifting regulations, so you can lift with confidence.
Jacking Systems

From hydraulic toe jacks to classic bottle jacks, we provide versatile lifting options for installing machinery, shifting loads, or offering temporary lifting support. Each unit comes with clear load capacity markings and safe-use documentation.
Material Handling Solutions

Our rental options include everything from Reid material lifts to both manual and electric pallet trucks. Plus, we have a range of Invicta forklift attachments and air skates—perfect for moving awkward or heavy items across floors with ease.
