Hoist Services Information

Our hoist services include everything you are likely to need to keep your lifting hoist in tip top, safe working condition.

Hoist Services We Offer

We have a team of highly experienced and skilled engineers with their own work vans to enable site visits when necessary. Alternatively hoists can be sent to us or collected by us for work to be completed in our own workshops and then returned directly to you.

Hoist Installations

When you purchase a hoist from Lifting Hoists Direct you may like to have it professionally installed and tested to ensure everything is working as it should and safely. Our Experienced Engineers are available to undertake your hoist installation requirements.

Hoist Repairs

Whatever type of hoist you have, sometimes things go wrong, electric hoists loose power, manual hoists may seize up; parts become stuck, broken or just wear out with continual use. Let one of our engineers take a look, it is often the case that your hoist can be repaired, which is usually cheaper than replacing the complete device. We can usually get any spare hoist parts required quickly so an engineer can complete your hoist repair rapidly.

Hoist Servicing & Maintenance

Sometimes it makes more sense to service your hoisting equipment and maintaining it on a regular basis rather than waiting for it to stop working completely. It is often the case that hoist servicing and hoist maintenance procedures are cheaper in the long run than paying for a complete new hoist. Whilst some types of hoists can be easily maintained by yourselves, some are much more difficult, especially when it comes to electric hoists, air hoists and other powered hoisting devices and is wise to get this done by an experienced person.

It is commonplace, and a very good idea to have your hoist serviced at the same time as its required hoist inspection, something else our trained engineers can carry out.

Hoist Inspections

It is mandatory for all hoists and any other lifting equipment used to undergo a thorough inspection by a qualified person at least every 12 months. This is the maximum time span you should allow between hoist inspections. We have a team of trained inspectors who can carry out a complete and thorough hoist inspection in accordance with LOLER regulations. We issue full certification for your records, it is essential that these be kept safe for legal reasons.

Hoist Breakdown Emergencies

From years of experience we know how disruptive a broken down hoist can be to many workplaces and industries. For this reason we offer a 24 hour call out service for emergency hoist repairs. We will always endeavour to get one of our engineers to you as soon as possible and aim to get you back up and running in the shortest achievable time.

Arranging Your Hoist Services

Hoists are an important piece of lifting equipment in many industries, and due to the fact that they lift heavy loads, the potential for disasters should always be on your mind. A falling load can inflict serious harm, as with all things – look after your hoisting equipment and chances are it will look after you.
