New-tonne Lifting Services at this years Lifting Equipment Engineers Association, LiftEx 2009 Exhibition

New-tonne Lifting Services exhibited at the Liftex 09 exhibition at Chester Racecourse, with probably the largest display of new equipment at the exhibition. The exhibition was a tremendous success with many visitors attending from all over the UK. At the stand we were pleased to display the new elebia automatic load hook, the first and only hook that picks up the load and releases when required, avoiding any handling of the slings.  Also on display was a range of hoists from RWM including the Divo theatre hoist, the new 2000Kg low headroom hoist, 2 x 240v single phase hoists and a 24v DC hoist. From Motorman we had the compact 2000Kg MKX weighing block with readout in 1Kg increments accurate to 0.1%, a 5,000Kg replacement bottom block for an overhead crane with built in digital readout and remote control linkup to a large wall display and various crane overloads. From Sperian Protection we had a full display of access ladders with fall arrest systems built in, folding ladders, safety lines and fall protection equipment.
