The Company

In 1985 Hoist-it Services was formed by Managing Director Gordon Gedling becoming a registered Limited Company in 1988. Over the following 25 years it has grown to become the UK’s premiere supplier of construction hoists to various industry sectors.

The year 2005 saw the company re-located to new strategically positioned and purpose built premises at Wigan, in order to further enhance its growing reputation as the industry market leaders. This relocation was brought about following a successful ‘Management Buy-In’ and Hoist-It Services was subsequently renamed Hoist-It Limited.

This provided the company with a platform to further significantly invest in it’s fleet to develop it’s already 1st Class products and service and is equipped with the very latest in hoist technology including an extensive range of modern Alimak Scando and 650 hoists.

It has been instrumental in raising industry standards with particular emphasis on safety aspects. Managing Director Gordon Gedling instigated and remains chairman of the 'Construction Hoist Interest Group”, which operates as a ‘Specialist Interest Group’ within the C.P.A., providing vital information regarding any new or proposed safety legislation from the E.E.C. or from the H.S.E.
