Lifting equipment supplier Hoist UK has loaded a 10t capacity double-girder overhead crane for delivery to a customer following a factory acceptance test.

The crane is fitted with an ATEX VERLINDE VT electric wire rope hoist. Hoist UK’s next planned step is to send its installation team to the customer’s site to install and commission the crane.

The company has not identified the customer or given a delivery date in its announcement.

Installation and commissioning remain ahead for the project: the announcement describes the crane as ready for delivery, not as operational at the customer’s premises.

Based in Moreton, Wirral, Hoist UK supplies lifting and handling equipment for industrial and entertainment applications.

Its range includes overhead crane systems, electric chain hoists, performer winches and shackles. The company says its technical, engineering and design teams can develop and manufacture equipment for individual handling requirements.

Its services extend from initial enquiry and design to manufacture, installation and commissioning, followed by ongoing testing.

Hoist UK also says it installs lifting solutions for customers in the UK and internationally.

Tony Dickson and Paul Jordan founded Hoist UK in 2006.

The company started as an approved distributor of equipment from French lifting brand Verlinde to the UK market. A VERLINDE VT electric wire rope hoist is fitted to the crane now awaiting delivery.

Last month, Hoist UK installed two EUROSYSTEM STD steel monorail systems at a customer’s site.
