This transaction significantly enhances the premium hoist capabilities of Taylor’s Hoists, a division of Lyndon SGB by BrandSafway, in the greater London area.
“The Benchmark Hoist Division is a great addition to Taylor’s Hoists,” said Robert Lynch, managing director of Lyndon SGB. “By enhancing our hoist solutions with Benchmark’s high-performance equipment, Taylor’s Hoists will be able to better serve its customers and offer a wider range of integrated solutions.”
The Benchmark Hoist Division has a significant inventory of material hoists with capacities from 500 to 2,500 kilograms and single- and dual-car personnel hoists with capacities from 1,200 to 3,200 kilograms.
“This acquisition reinforces our leadership position in the United Kingdom,” said Mick Herke, vice president of Brand Energy & Infrastructure Services in Europe. “With Benchmark’s highly specialized knowledge in premium hoist solutions, Taylor’s Hoists and Lyndon SGB can further expand their services.”
