LGH expands in USA

Lifting Gear Hire of Bridgeview, Illinois, has announced plans to expand its coverage in the Eastern United Sates.

It is adding sales representation for the Southeast, based in Tampa, Florida and will shortly open its 11th North American warehouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The new location will add to the company’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania depot, helping reduce delivery times and transportation costs for customers in North-eastern Pennsylvania, as well as New Jersey and New York.

Tony Fiscelli, general manager of Lifting Gear Hire in the USA said: “The demand for equipment in LGH’s product line, as well as reduced delivery time and costs have resulted in the need for an additional facility to support an already growing area and to stock a full range of LGH products and capacities,”

“The expansion out east will allow us to better serve our clients because we will simply have the space to feature our entire product range and to accommodate our customers' equipment service needs.”

The company has also said that it is planning to expand in Minneapolis and Atlanta during 2009.
