A specialist within a specialist market, Atlas Winch & Hoist Services can provide a solution to most challenges, offering not only the very latest equipment, which is invariably both reliable and cost-effective, but also a level of knowledge that places the company at the forefront of the industry.
With facilities in Essex and Scotland, Atlas not only covers the UK, it is in demand overseas too, as far afield as Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan. And the reasons for this are abundantly clear. For this is a company with unrivalled expertise in hydraulic, air, electric, diesel, manual and trailer winches, as well as various hoists, lifting equipment and cable drum trailers. Moreover, everything is available to hire or buy (new or second-hand), with Atlas also offering full maintenance, repair, inspection, and installation services.
It’s a family business too – owned and operated by brothers Denis Lavery and Anton Lavery – so there’s a genuine pride at the heart of the business, with its highly skilled team committed to exceeding customer expectations. This is yet another reason why Atlas, which has been traditionally known for marine and off-shore work, has now developed long-lasting relationships with most of the UK’s leading construction and civil engineering firms.
Indeed, within the UK few companies can offer the same expertise and experience in the winch field, with Atlas having a reputation for delivering unique innovative solutions to a variety of heavy lifting and pulling situations, as well as supplying essentially standard lifting tackle.
The experience and expertise that has assisted Atlas in becoming successful is increasingly rare in the lifting and winching industry, and the company continues to invest in new plant and equipment in order to retain its pre-eminent position. It has, for instance, diversified to offer a range of trailer mounted winches, cable drum trailers and related products for the utilities industry for various cable and pipe pulling applications.
Atlas has a distinct advantage over other lifting equipment companies by having the experience to be able to advise customers on the equipment that will best solve their particular lifting or pulling problem. When talking to customers and potential customers, they do not read off a ‘crib sheet’; at Atlas, real knowledge makes a real difference.
Added to this Atlas are better equipped than most to deal with the larger and more demanding winching and hoisting jobs with a large and varied inventory of winches and hoists available for hire or sale, new or second hand.
Thriving in seriously challenging economic times, Atlas is looking to the future with confidence – a new assistant manager is coming on-board the Essex office in January 2011 and no-one has been laid-off during the recession. Atlas is busy, and this gives customers confidence that if they do business with the company today it will still be around tomorrow. Peace of mind comes as standard. So whether your winch or lifting equipment needs are large or small, standard or bespoke, Atlas has the experience, the equipment and the service to deliver the solution you need.
