RS Industrial Services has completed the installation of several jib crane systems at Dyson Technical Ceramics’ Crook site, supporting ongoing efforts to enhance workflow and operational processes.
The newly fitted lifting equipment, designed for efficient material handling and improved accessibility, aligns with broader site upgrades currently underway at the facility.
Engineers customised each crane installation to address specific requirements within the facility’s operational environment, aiming to optimise safety and long-term productivity.
Dyson Technical Ceramics manufactures Zirconia and Tin Oxide refractory ceramics used in industries such as steel, powder metallurgy, glass, foundry and investment casting from its location in Hunwick, Crook.
The company said: “Every installation is tailored to the specific operational requirements of the environment, ensuring practical, safe, and efficient solutions that support long-term productivity.”
RS Industrial Services, headquartered in Billingham and Gateshead, operates as an independent supplier within the material handling and engineering sector.
The company offers services from equipment consultation through to installation and ongoing maintenance for overhead lifting solutions.
Its product range includes personal protective equipment, electrical parts, power tools and safety products for industrial use, as well as custom crane solutions for specific client requirements.
RS Industrial Services also holds full membership in the North East Regional Defence and Security Cluster.
In November 2025, RS Industrial Services supplied a 6.3t double girder electric overhead travelling crane fitted with a Guralp hoist. The company states that the equipment will assist the client with heavy load lifting operations.
