Supplier of lifting, handling and cranage equipment has added on its own machine shop to produce its own pins, bushes, pulleys, gear blanks and pinion shafts.

Lifting Solutions of Thurnscoe has opened a new machine shop in response to demand from customers for a machining capability The new machine shop enables Lifting Solutions to manage quality better and offer a more complete all round service to internal departments and external clients

Lifting Solutions can now design, manufacture and machine its own pins, bushes, pulleys, gear blanks and pinion shafts - making the business even more competitive and ensuring that work can be taken on that used to be outsourced elsewhere.

Mark Stephens, sales and marketing director for Lifting Solutions, said: "We can now offer a full machining capability, from basic shafts to big boring jobs.

This enables to keep a lot of standard 'bread and butter' machining jobs in-house, but also attract those more unusual bespoke machining jobs that are usually of a higher value.

This development opens up the sub-contracting machining market to us, and allows us to service the machining requirements of some of our big named clients - who we used to have to send elsewhere, or sub-contact the work." The addition of the machine shop is part of Lifting Solutions' ultimate desire to be able to offer everything its customers require, on a 'one-stop-shop' basis.
