Atlas Lifting & Rigging (ALR) has signed an agreement to import the innovative hoists featuring the patented technology from William Hackett in the UK.
The new partnership with ALR builds on William Hackett’s growing business in North America. It already sells range of HA master links and sub-assemblies into the United States, primarily focused on the Gulf of Mexico, along with its Hack10 chain sling components.
“Developing the U.S. market is a cornerstone of our business growth strategy,” said Ben Burgess, director of William Hackett. “We know that our unique QP technology can bring significant benefits to the US lifting industry and provide us opportunities for substantial growth.”
He noted that the Quad Pawl technology has been successful in other markets.
“We needed the right partner to help us bring the benefits of Quad Pawl to the U.S. and are delighted to have found that partner in ALR,” Burgess said.
The patented pawl design features four-pawl mechanical engagement functionality, enabling all four pawls to engage with the rachet gear in an offset configuration, reducing risk of failure. Quad Pawl provides finer adjustment and tensioning ability, while maintaining rachet/pawl engagement.
Based in Houston, Texas, Atlas Lifting and Rigging is a fast-growing manufacturer and wholesaler of premium hoists. It has a nationwide network of distributors serving the lifting industry.
It now offers William Hackett WH C4 QP chain hoists and WH L5 QP lever hoists from its Houston warehouse. These hoists are designed for demanding applications in the offshore industry as well as energy, defense, and construction.
“William Hackett says that its Quad Pawl hoists have the safest ratchet mechanism in the industry - and we are inclined to agree,” said Doug Ozolins, executive vice president of ALR. “ALR is growing rapidly because we have a reputation for supplying innovative, high quality, robust hoists like these. We are therefore extremely confident that there is demand for the William Hackett range from within our customer base.”
