Recently, Leo Marquis, Crosby District Sales Manager and Product Trainer, and one of our strategic distribution partners set up a Crosby On-Site Safe Rigging Clinic with the Crosby Rig Safe, Rig Smart truck with a Florida based end-user. The end-user specializes in custom metal fabrication, CNC machining, EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), welding, electrical & mechanical design, assembly & finishing services.
They were using a competitor’s eye bolts for lifting points on various pieces of fabricated equipment.
After Crosby trained the end-user on some of the key benefits of Crosby hoist rings over the competitor’s eye bolts, the safety manager made the decision that hoist rings, overall would be a safer option.
