SkyJacks has penned an exclusive distribution deal with Atlas Lifting and Rigging (ALR) covering Southern Africa
The strategic partnership, formalised late last year, enables SkyJacks, a leader in access, lifting and handling solutions, to distribute a range of ALR chain hoists, lever hoists and heavy-duty trolleys.
The products are designed to meet the stringent demands of sectors such as mining, engineering and construction.
According to SkyJacks managing director, Alistair Bennett, the partnership reflects a joint dedication to delivering high-quality lifting solutions tailored to the region’s needs.
“Being the exclusive distributor of ALR products in southern Africa is evidence of SkyJacks' commitment to providing industries such as mining, construction and engineering with premium, time-tested lifting gear," he said.
"This relationship not only brings greater operational effectiveness and safety but also ensures our customers have access to unparalleled local assistance, training and servicing throughout the product lifecycle."
With stock now readily available, businesses in these and other sectors can enhance their operational safety, productivity and cost-efficiency, he added.
ALR products meet SANS 1594 and SANS 1636 safety standards, ensuring they perform reliably even in tough conditions.
Its chain hoists offer precise and secure lifting for heavy loads, especially in areas without easy access to power.
Lever hoists are ideal for pulling, lifting, and positioning tasks in demanding environments.
With capacities ranging from 0.5T to 20T, ALR’s heavy-duty trolleys adapt easily to I-Beams, H-Beams, A-Frames, and various track systems, giving businesses great flexibility.
In order to provide availability across southern Africa, SkyJacks is leveraging its extensive distribution network, including strategically-located regional warehouses.
The company is also expanding its network of authorised resellers across countries within the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region to enhance product availability in key markets.
SkyJacks also plans to invest in online platforms to enable customers to view product information, get quotations and purchase equipment, making procurement simpler.
"Through addressing these priority areas, SkyJacks will establish ALR as the southern African standard for lifting and rigging solutions," said Bennett.
In the future, he said the company aims to enhance and grow the ALR product line as the market evolves.
Future initiatives involve developing and implementing training programmes to help customers use and maintain products and enhancing customer service delivery to assist clients throughout their product lifespan.
