[FEATURES] 24 | STRETCHING OUT AND DOUBLING UP


ADB Hoist Rings has been hard at work this summer on an expansion that will double, or actually slightly more than double, the footprint of its manufacturing facility. Dating back to 1943, and located in Valdosta, Ga. since 2003, the company is wrapping up work on a 36,000 square foot addition to its exiting 35,200 square foot facility. Here we learn about the originator of the hoist ring, their expansion, and their remarkably legacy of safety.


28 | VISION AND VALUES – PSC CRANE AND RIGGING


With an impressive range of services, from crane rental to plant relocation and moving heavy machinery, PSC has grown and evolved by taking on increasingly complex client challenges. As a fourth- generation family-owned business, there is a long history to review as each generation has brought new skills to the company and expanded their focus. We meet the Severs and hear their story!
