High achievers

Award-winning construction hoist sales and hire specialist, Direct Hoist, prides itself on high standards across the board, with a constant commitment to staff development and an unrivalled attitude towards impeccable safety standards for its own team, and all users of their hire fleet. The Direct Hoist work ethos is that work is enjoyable, it can be hard work with early starts but job satisfaction is a top priority, and happy staff equals the best service for our customers.

The midlands-based firm is at the forefront of construction hoist technology, bringing innovative Italian Electroelsa machinery to the British market and established an accredited training facility, including a 10m tower, to ensure the highest levels of training for safety and rescue for working at height.

Not only that but the whole company is ahead of the game on net zero. Direct Hoist is leading the field in environmental awareness.

Company founder Rob Wilson says, “Direct Hoist has worked hard minimising our carbon footprint, crafting a robust strategy for our Net Zero future, and pushing forward with our written policy for our Construction Line (Silver) accreditation.”

Rob’s approach started with the basics: long-life, low-energy LED lighting was fitted; general waste is rigorously separated to recycle as much as possible; scrap materials are weighed in. Electricity is supplied by wind and solar Farms, and all suppliers are either local (to cut transportation) or offer green credentials, or both!”

A fully electric Corsa has been added to the fleet of vehicles that run on 100% renewable HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) fuel. For years, Direct Hoist has supplied electrically powered construction hoists instead of old-fashioned engine-driven devices. Rob says, “There are no carbon (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx) or carbon monoxide (CO) emissions here.”

Most importantly, the inclusion of a hoist on any construction site has an added environmental benefit due to its manpower-saving efficiency.

Rob says, “Direct Hoist is committed to being the best company in the business in every way possible.”
