Lifting, Material Handling & Control Devices
Hoists, handling equipment and precision measurement and control devices.
Lifting, Material Handling & Control Devices
METCO's Lifting Equipment range covers everything from manual and electric hoists to wire ropes, clamps, floor-handling equipment and load measurement instrumentation. Every category is engineered for reliability under load, and our team can help specify the right combination for any industrial, construction or facility application.
Our Permanent Access Range
Manual Hoists
Hand-operated wire rope hoists, chain hoists and lever hoists built for reliable lifting and pulling without a power source. The range spans manual wire rope hoists, manual chain hoists, lever hoists and their overload-protection devices, working in any position with unlimited rope length — ideal for sites without electrical supply or where portability matters most.
Electric Hoists
Motorized hoists for consistent, powered lifting across construction, facade and industrial applications. The range covers electric rope hoists, electric chain hoists and hydraulic hoists, delivering constant speed and torque independent of lifting height, with portable and permanently mounted configurations available.
Wire Ropes & Reelers
Purpose-built wire rope assemblies, complete with hooks and welded tips, matched to manual and powered hoists across a wide range of breaking-strength ratings. Reelers keep rope stored, protected and ready for the next lift, extending the working life of the investment.
Plate and Lifting Clamps
Self-closing and multiposition clamps for lifting and turning plates, profiles, steel frames, drums and pipes from any angle. Automatic locking mechanisms and non-marring jaw options protect both the load and the operator across construction, fabrication and marine applications.
Beam Clamps & Trolleys
Anchor points and travel systems that turn an overhead beam into a safe lifting or fall-protection structure. The range includes fixed beam clamps, geared and push trolleys for moving loads along a beam, and connector accessories such as slings and anchor straps.
Safety Devices & Accessories
Secondary load arresters and braking systems that hold a suspended load safely if the primary suspension fails. Automatic overspeed brakes engage the moment triggering speed is reached, while wire-rope grippers and tensioning devices round out a complete, fail-safe rigging setup.
Floor Handling Equipment
Ground-level lifting and moving equipment — hydraulic toe jacks, skates and trolley skates, manual pallet trucks and rack jacks — for repositioning heavy loads across a warehouse, workshop or site floor without a crane or hoist.
Load Measurement & Control
Dynamometers, load cells, tensiometers and anchor testers that measure force and load with high accuracy, from a few kilograms up to hundreds of tonnes. The range breaks down into anchor testers, load cells & dynamometers, load limiters and tensiometers, with wireless displays and monitoring software for real-time readings on site.
