ALE teams up with Specialized

International heavy lift company ALE has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with US based crane company Specialized Hoisting Solutions, as part of a strategic move to enter the USA civil enginering market, and promote wider use of its Lightweight Service Crane.

Specialized Hoisting is a division of Rebel Trucking and Rigging and operates from locations in New Jersey and Georgia, provides specialised high rise lifting and rigging solutions for Building maintenance units (BMU), window washing and specialist medical equipment.

ALE’s Lightweight Service Crane was launched in 2016 and can be assembled by hand from components small enough to fit into a service elevator and then be set up on the rooves of high-rise city centre buildings where space is limited.

ALE sales manager Richard Verhoeff said: “We have already been approached by clients in the USA looking for flexible and lightweight lifting solutions for exchange projects, such as air conditioning units, on high-rise buildings. By joining forces with Specialized Hoisting Services, we can focus on the civils market by optimising their local expertise with our unique Lightweight Service Crane and so introduce our business model to the United States’ high rise market. This agreement sets us apart and shows our dedication to find suitable safe and cost-effective solutions for our clients in the American civils sector.”

Jeff Mottola, Managing Partner of Rebel Trucking & Rigging added: “We are already familiar with the local processes and permitting in New York City. Where we will provide the contracts to help facilitate work using the Lightweight Service Crane. ALE’s engineers can provide the necessary rigging and hoisting solutions for our clients. We are already discussing these opportunities with clients, such as the replacement of BMUs and electromechanical equipment as well as pedestal curtainwalls.”
