such as EMCE winches, Kito electric hoists, Kito manual hoists, Gebuwin winches & Davits, Teo crane weighers, Kito Van Leusden special hoisting equipment and Kito Erikkila light crane systems. A recent project involved the manufacture
of over 30 hoists and trolleys for a client during Covid. Over 60% of these units had to be modified or completely redesigned to achieve the specification and materials required to meet the corrosion and operating requirements and during manufacture there were challenges with delivery times and costs changing, making planning an ever- moving target. Production was also affected by the pandemic which impacted machining, engineering and painting processes due to reduced staffing levels. “This project was a big undertaking

for the Red Rooster team with the new designs, complicated machining, assembly and testing even in normal times, but with Covid it made the whole project more challenging,” said Bill Aitken MD, Red Rooster Lifting. “The ability of the team to act fast altering designs and deal with changing suppliers or parts, kept the project moving forward to the agreed delivery schedule. This comes from the teams’ knowledge as well as continual training we provide to promote awareness, responsibility and exceptional customer service. Having a large stock of parts and a full repair and testing service gives our clients with the utmost assurance.” ●
