An initial phase of products at the lifting division will feature slings, loose lifting equipment, hoisting, blocks, winches and crane site equipment.

MGF said: “The division will continue to expand to suit the demand of the industry, regularly releasing new products  and increasing our coverage to service the nation through our regional teams.”

Chris Whitworth, Operations Manager added: “In line with our core values of commitment, innovation and sustainability, we are diversifying our product range to supply  our customers with a full product solution. Enabling a one stop-shop for all your lifting, safety, shoring and structural  support needs on site – ultimately reducing time and suppliers to make the job as easy as possible.”

MGF has also introduced new testing and inspection service with a team of fully qualified technicians available to visit customers’  sites or depots.

The Lifting department will be headed up by Mark Smith who has worked within the lifting industry for 20 years and has a further 10 years’ experience with plant hire.
