From early planning stages through to on-site support, they’ve experienced first-hand the dedication and professionalism of our team. Here’s what they had to say:

“We’ve been working with Capital Hoist for several years now, and they have consistently delivered exceptional service across a wide range of our projects. As a scaffolding company, having a dependable hoist supplier is critical to our operations and Capital Hoist have proven time and again that they are the best in the business.

From initial planning to on-site support, their team is professional, responsive, and highly knowledgeable. Most importantly, their commitment to safety and efficiency aligns perfectly with our standards.

They’ve supported us on some of our most high-profile and time-sensitive jobs, and their reliability has been a key factor in helping us deliver on schedule. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Capital Hoist to any contractor or construction firm looking for a top-tier hoist supplier.”

Battersea Power Station & Marble Arch Place

Capital Hoist — Mon, 10 Dec 2018 15:36:01 +0000

Here at Capital Hoist we are delighted to say we are undertaking two very high-profile jobs at both Battersea Power Station and Marble Arch Place working with both Keltbray Groups LTD and P. J. Carey LTD respectively.

We are implementing our own installation system at both locations, placing the Slipform hoists within the lift shaft to allow direct access to the work decks without effecting progress on the buildings exteriors.

We have had success using this method of installation at O’Keefe’s, St Mary’s Axe and Dumont’s over the years.

This new system is our way of adapting the way hoists are installed and operated to increase efficiency for us and our clients.
