Crane And Hoist Specialist
As independent agents for many other hoist manufacturers, we are not tied to any particular range, meaning we can propose the best and most cost-effective solution to suit your needs and circumstances.
If you need a hoist (electric, manual or pneumatic), crane (overhead, swing-jib or gantry), monorail, lifting/runway beam, winch or any other type of lifting equipment, we can help you. As the hoist experts, we supply all types and sizes of hoists and ancillary equipment.
And if the standard range doesn’t fit your needs, we will design and manufacture Bespoke (Custom Made) equipment tailored to your individual requirements, and of course to your budget.
Why choose Linian?
We aim to provide a one-stop shop for all lifting equipment and hoists: quality products at value-for-money prices, with speedy and efficient service.
