East Anglia engineering company, Ladbrook, has won a contract to help develop and manufacture an important new piece of lifting equipment for the window installation industry.

The Harnser portable window lifting crane from Eazi Lift has received considerable acclaim from installers and safety professionals.

The Harnser, fitted into the window reveal is designed to lift and position even pre-glazed frames, quickly, safely and efficiently, without the need for costly access equipment, helping fitting teams comply with Work at Height regulations by eliminating the need to carry frames up ladders.

Currently celebrating 70 years of engineering excellence, Ladbrook is well positioned to take on such projects.

The quality of the finished product reflects their expertise in a broad range of engineering disciplines as well as their attention to detail and their ability to apply the requisite quality systems essential to critical safety equipment.

"We are very proud of the quality of this product," said Mike Blowers, the Managing Director of Ladbrook.

"It's a very refined design, offering strength and reliability, yet very light, portable and functional.

We are very pleased by the very positive response of the window industry, orders are already ramping up".

Ladbrook provide a complete manufacturing service for Eazi Lift.

The manufacturing processes include precision turning, fabrication, presswork, assembly and testing.

Being a CE marked product, management systems, quality control and traceability of parts has been an essential aspect of the project.

Jeff Crowder the Managing Director of Harnser Systems Limited, the parent company of the UK distributorship Eazi Lift, is the person behind the concept of the Harnser Window Crane.

His experience in the window industry helped him identify a demand for such a lifting device, especially as Health and Safety regulations where becoming increasingly stringent.

He took his concept to a patent expert in order to protect his idea.

It was this patent expert who recommended Ladbrook on the strength of some of their previous projects.

"Ladbrook has been an excellent choice for helping us develop and manufacture the Harnser," said Jeff.

"The quality of the finished product is excellent and their support and expertise throughout the project has enabled us to get to market faster than expected.

We are very pleased that we chose Ladbrook as a partner for this project and look forward to working with them on future products".
