an expansive customer base in a number of different industries, the results of their efforts are nothing short of impressive. “We haven’t run into a single example where people can’t see how this would benefit them and apply to their needs,” Stitt tells us. “We want our buyers to interact with this new technology first-hand.” As the original line of spreader and lifters awaits its final patent approval, customers are already approaching them with custom orders employing the composite material in lieu of traditional materials. “We’ve quoted several other designs and plan on
rolling this technology into many other types of lifting equipment,” Mongan says. Te industry’s demand for hardier lightweight lifting and spreader beams extends
outside of Caldwell’s immediate audiences in North America as well. “We’ve also introduced the product line in Australia and were greeted with the same amount of zeal,” Stitt says. It’s only a matter of weeks before the product line will be introduced to European markets. With such endless expansion on the horizon
it’s impossible to ignore the bright future that lays ahead for the people of Caldwell. Armed with a team of innovators, the industry’s leading composite suppliers, and a tireless commitment to advancing technology for the benefit of its customer base, the incorporation of composite into their broad menagerie of existing offerings is sure to spark a countless series of innovations within the industry as a whole. y
