Lifting Gear Hire Corp. branches out into Louisiana with a new distribution center in New Orleans. |
August 26, 2005 — Lifting Gear Hire Corp., a subsidiary of Lifting Gear Hire Group plc, recently opened a new distribution center in New Orleans due to the high volume of business in this area. A specialist in the rental, sales, service, inspection, and testing of lifting and winching equipment, the company stocks more than 80,000 pieces of lifting equipment available through its worldwide network in the United States, United Kingdom, Holland, and Germany.
The new location houses a rental inventory worth more than $1 million and holds full hoist load testing capabilities up to a 25-ton capacity. “Opening a New Orleans distribution center was truly a common sense move,” said Kyle Johnston, the sales representative who oversees the New Orleans market. “We can now serve our Louisiana customers locally and even offer same day equipment delivery within 60 miles of New Orleans.”
Customers interested in purchasing or renting equipment should call the national rental center at (800) 878-7305. From this number, orders are dispatched to the appropriate local distribution centers based on site location and equipment needs, says Tony Fiscelli, general manager of the company's U.S. headquarters in Bridgeview, Ill.
In addition to the new New Orleans location, Lifting Gear Hire operates U.S. distribution facilities in Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, and Washington.
