Hey there,
There’s something about October. Leaves are piling up, jack-o’-lanterns are making their annual appearance, and jobsites are pushing ahead toward year-end deadlines.
While the seasons change, one thing at LGH stays the same: our commitment to helping crews tackle lifting and rigging challenges with the right equipment and expertise.
Since our early days, LGH has focused on helping customers tackle complex tasks with custom rental solutions. That commitment has extended across borders, from our roots in the UK to North America, and now to our team in Australia.

This past month, LGH North East Regional Manager Jason Rios made the trek to Australia to reconnect with our team and support their continued growth. During his visit last year, Jason helped lay the groundwork for training and familiarizing the team with LGH’s systems.
This time around, he joined LGH Australia’s Business Development Managers for customer visits, toured impressive jobsites, and saw firsthand how much the team has accomplished in just one year. We’re excited to see LGH continue to grow alongside the industries we support around the world.
Closer to home, we’ve got some exciting news for our Canadian customers. From new rental equipment to our latest case study and product resources, there’s plenty to explore this month.
We’re excited to expand our lifting equipment rental options for Canadian customers! Telescopic forklift beams are now part of LGH Canada’s rental fleet, giving crews another versatile solution for material handling applications.
These fork-mounted lifting attachments offer adjustable spacing between lifting points, making them ideal for handling long materials such as pipe, structural steel, and rebar bundles.

In the remote Alaskan wilderness, one of the nation’s most remarkable bridge projects recently took shape: the launch of the longest single-span steel girder bridge in the United States.
To support the operation, LGH supplied Traylor Bros., Inc. with more than 100 hand chain hoists and specialized pulling equipment built to perform in the harsh environment. Discover what it took to complete one of the most significant bridge launches in recent infrastructure construction.

Forklifts, cranes, and other material handling tools can be effective for moving heavy loads. However, the conditions of a particular job may call for a different approach. That’s where machinery moving skates come in.
LGH carries four types of rigging skates for rent: air skates, standard machine skates, rotating machine skates (a.k.a. crazy skates), and robot skates.
Explore how these options compare and what to consider when selecting the right skates for your next job in our latest blog post.

What is an electric Johnson bar, and why use it to move heavy equipment?
With an electric dolly bar, one person can move what used to take a whole crew. Check out our latest YouTube video with LGH’s Aaron Orsark to learn everything you need to know before renting this underrated tool.
“The whole team at LGH was awesome to deal with. Bill was very helpful, and he was even emailing me on the weekend after hours, which shocked me. Great service; I wish I would have known about your company years ago. Normally, if we can’t rent on the West Coast, we try to do the work another way.”
