In the construction industry, downtime, inefficiencies, and safety issues can cost time and money. That’s why choosing the right hoist partner is crucial – and Direct Hoist delivers on all fronts. With a reputation built on reliability, expertise, and service, they specialise exclusively in the hire of goods and passenger hoists for construction projects across the UK.
Direct Hoist isn’t just about renting out equipment – they offer tailored solutions designed to keep your project moving safely and efficiently. From initial consultation to installation and support, every step is handled by specialists. Their experience and free site visits ensure that the correct hoist is selected right from the start, preventing costly mistakes.
“Most customers don’t know which hoist is best suited to their project,” says Josh, Operations Manager at Direct Hoist (pictured). “That’s why involving a hoist specialist early is so important. Choosing the wrong size or capacity can lead to delays and extra costs.”
All hoists are rigorously inspected before delivery. Any worn parts are proactively replaced between hires, significantly reducing the risk of breakdowns. Once on-site, delivery and installation are managed by a skilled team of NVQ-qualified hoist installers, further backed by certifications in emergency first aid, working at height rescue, IOSH Managing Safely, and CITB Site Supervision Safety Training. All work is fully compliant with LOLER regulations and BS7212 standards.
Support doesn’t stop after installation. A dedicated technician remains available throughout the hire period to provide advice and resolve any issues. Most problems are resolved remotely, saving you valuable time.
“Downtime is rare,” Josh explains. “Our hoists are maintained to a very high standard, and our installers understand both mechanical and electrical systems. If a fault isn’t site-related and can’t be fixed over the phone, we don’t charge for that downtime.”
Direct Hoist’s commitment goes beyond just equipment – it’s about delivering long-term value. “We’re not trying to be the cheapest,” Josh says. “We’re here to do things right – safely and to a high standard. Getting it right the first time always delivers the best value.”
With transparent pricing, expert support, and an unwavering focus on safety and quality, Direct Hoist is more than a supplier – they’re your trusted partner in construction hoist solutions.
