Durham Lifting is pleased to be attending the UK Ports Meet the Buyer event in Liverpool on 7 July 2022, joining port operators, customers and specialist suppliers from across the industry.
The event provides a valuable opportunity to discuss the operational needs of UK ports, develop new supply chain relationships and explore how specialist lifting services can support future projects.
Connecting ports with specialist suppliers
UK Ports Meet the Buyer brings together customers and suppliers in a focused setting designed to encourage collaboration, strengthen the supply chain and support future investment across the ports sector.
Supporting the future of UK ports
Ports are a vital part of the United Kingdom’s transport, manufacturing and energy infrastructure. Their operations support the movement of goods, major industrial projects and an extensive network of businesses throughout the national supply chain.
As port facilities continue to develop, operators require dependable suppliers with the equipment, technical knowledge and capacity to support complex lifting and handling requirements.
Events such as UK Ports Meet the Buyer help bring these organisations together, creating opportunities for direct conversations about upcoming projects, operational challenges and the specialist services available within the UK supply chain.
Meeting port operators
Direct discussions help suppliers understand the priorities, challenges and future requirements of individual port facilities.
Strengthening supply chains
Bringing customers and suppliers together helps create stronger relationships and more responsive project support.
Supporting future projects
The event provides a platform for discussing new work, investment programmes and opportunities across the ports sector.
Lifting support for port operations
Port environments involve a wide range of lifting and material handling activities, from routine equipment maintenance to complex cargo operations and major infrastructure projects.
These applications require equipment that is correctly selected, inspected and tested, supported by experienced personnel who understand the safety-critical nature of lifting operations.
Durham Lifting supports industrial and marine customers through lifting equipment supply and hire, statutory inspection, proof load testing, crane services and engineered lifting solutions.
Lifting and rigging supply
Slings, shackles, hoisting equipment and specialist lifting accessories for everyday and project-based operations.
Inspection and testing
Thorough examination, proof load testing and certification to support safe and compliant lifting operations.
Custom lifting solutions
Designed and manufactured lifting beams, spreader systems and bespoke equipment for complex lifting requirements.
Building stronger industry relationships
Meet the Buyer events offer more than a traditional exhibition. Their structured format allows port representatives and suppliers to hold focused discussions about specific capabilities and future requirements.
For Durham Lifting, the event is an opportunity to better understand the challenges faced by port operators and explain how the company’s combined services can support safe, reliable and efficient operations.
It also creates opportunities to meet other specialist suppliers, exchange industry knowledge and explore potential collaboration on larger or more complex projects.
Supporting demanding lifting environments
From cargo handling and equipment maintenance to offshore energy projects and infrastructure development, Durham Lifting provides lifting equipment and technical services for demanding port and marine operations.
Experience across safety-critical lifting
Durham Lifting has extensive experience supporting customers in industries where lifting operations must be carefully planned, properly documented and completed to a high technical standard.
The company’s facilities and capabilities allow equipment to be supplied, inspected, tested and certified through a single experienced provider.
For more complex applications, Durham Lifting can also design, manufacture and test specialist lifting equipment developed around the requirements of the load, lift configuration and operating environment.
