RSS already stocks products from The Crosby Group, which recently completed an investment in Australia-based Verton. Crosby and Verton will collaborate to accelerate the adoption of this load orientation technology.
“These products will complement our spreader beam fleet as they can be used in tandem with existing equipment. Load orientation means a lot to RSS; we are working with clients to create exclusion zones without taglines. Verton is unique as it is the only orientating beam to use gyroscopes. Wind energy is of special interest for stability and load positioning,” said Sean Maslen, sales director, RSS.
Verton’s portfolio includes the Everest 6, a 20ton load orienting spreader beam; Everest 30, a modular load orienting system for a broad range of working load limits; Windmaster, a load orientation device for wind turbine erection; and modular SpinPod technology, which uses gyroscopes and sophisticated control systems that orientate suspended loads remotely.
“As a Crosby distributor we naturally take an interest in the products they are bringing to market; we have been looking at Verton for about 18 months. To become a distributor, we have worked closely with them to facilitate demonstrations for end users. Verton’s range of lifting products integrate state-of-the-art smart technology to facilitate more precise load placement, faster task turnover, and superior analysis and oversight of operations. By February we will have the full range of products in stock.” Steve Hutin, MD, RSS.
