We know the task of raising, moving and lowering a load varies significantly depending on your specific situation and we understand the importance of customising your lifting equipment to achieve the best outcome for load bearing, longevity, safety and productivity. It has become obvious to us over the years that lifting equipment is often manufactured with inferior materials or methods that consequently compromise quality, integrity, strength and compliance to Australian Standards.  **Why is it important to have your lifting equipment specialised to your company or operation?** There are many benefits of customising lifting equipment specific to your situation. Whether it be mining, construction, transportation, smelting, marine, defence or manufacturing (to name a few), our Specialised Lifting Equipment creates a much more efficient and safer operation.  There are several factors that we must consider when creating your lifting equipment which include the load weight, shape, the environment it will be operating in (exposure to chemicals, elements, etc) and centre of gravity location.  [View examples of Specialist Lifting Equipment Manufacturing Orders that we have completed, click here...](https://info.reliancehexham.com.au/examples-of-specialist-lifting-jobs)  So what are the benefits of having specialised lifting equipment designed, made and supported by us? - It is longer lasting - Fit for purpose - Reduces overall operating costs - Decreases the risk of incidents - Enhances productivity **Reliance Hexham is a leader in Specialised Lifting Equipment, but why?** With our years of experience and constantly working within the area of lifting, the biggest advantage we find for our customers is innovation.
