Tony Dickson, of Hoist UK, said: “This is a great opportunity for both companies. The natural union of truss and motors makes this a symbiotic relationship – you can’t think of one product without thinking about the other.” He added: “By forming this relationship we can offer the end user a very economic and customer orientated service. The partnership gives the opportunity to offer a realistic one stop shop for rigging projects in entertainment, retail and industrial applications.”

Adrian Brooks, of Litestructures, said: “I have known and worked with Tony Dickson for several years on different projects. When he and Paul set up their own company I was really pleased that Litestructures were among the first people to be approached.”
The deal gives Litestructures unparalleled facilities with the combination of industry standard trussing, decking, and stage sets along with chain hoists and control all housed under one roof alongside their state of the art rehearsal studio.
Although this is the official announcement both companies have been working together for some time. The inaugural Hoist UK truss and motor school back in April was the point at which they are believed to have realised that this was both a “practical and natural arrangement,” as they put it.
The partnership will be cemented at London trade show PLASA 2007 (September 9-12), with Hoist UK taking a resident area on the Litestructures stand, showcasing a range of lifting products and offering consultation on projects, maintenance and the safety issues facing the industry as a whole.
