What scaffold hoists cover

A hoist takes the strain and the risk out of lifting materials up a scaffold. We provide manual hoists such as gin wheels for lighter loads, and mechanical hoists for heavier or more frequent lifting, integrated safely into the scaffold.

The right hoist keeps materials moving and keeps operatives off ladders with heavy loads.

Who it's for

We work for roofers, builders and contractors moving tiles, blocks, membranes and equipment, and any project where lifting materials by hand would be slow or unsafe.

It suits both domestic re-roofs and larger commercial and industrial sites.

Fitted and used safely

Hoists must be mounted to a scaffold designed to take the extra loads, positioned and guarded correctly, and used within safe limits. We plan the scaffold and hoist together and build to TG20 and SG4 guidance.

Our CISRS-qualified, directly employed team, with NEBOSH-backed health and safety support, sets it up right.
