Hands-on product demonstrations
A key part of the Technical Day was the opportunity to see SpanSet products demonstrated in practical lifting and rigging scenarios.
These demonstrations allowed attendees to examine the design, performance and intended use of the equipment while discussing the risks that can arise when lifting accessories are incorrectly selected or applied.
From product knowledge to customer support
Continued technical training helps the Durham Lifting team assess customer requirements more accurately and recommend equipment that is appropriate for the load, lifting arrangement and working environment.
This knowledge supports customers across equipment sales, hire, inspection and testing, helping to ensure lifting accessories remain suitable, compliant and safe throughout their working life.
Assess the lifting requirement
Capacity, load shape, lifting points and environmental conditions must all be considered before selecting equipment.
Choose suitable equipment
The correct sling, accessory and configuration should be matched to the complete lifting operation.
Inspect and manage equipment
Regular inspection and thorough examination help identify wear, damage and equipment that is no longer fit for service.
Strengthening industry relationships
Networking was another valuable part of the event, giving the Durham Lifting team the opportunity to meet professionals from across the lifting industry and discuss shared operational challenges.
These conversations support closer collaboration between manufacturers, suppliers, inspectors and end users, helping knowledge and best practice move throughout the wider industry.
Strong relationships with lifting equipment manufacturers allow us to combine current product knowledge with practical experience, inspection expertise and dependable customer support.
