Buying British equipment can help the UK’s economy to prosper, and we ask companies to buy British equipment wherever they can. The more companies that buy British, the sooner the UK can recover from the cost of the COVID-19 pandemic and unemployment rates will go down too.
British equipment is made to strict and controlled standards. The quality control systems that are put into place assure that standards are kept high by ensuring that all products are traceable, so you are almost guaranteed to have no issues with British equipment.
It could be tempting to purchase from outside of the UK if you find a cheaper option, but cheaper is not always better. The lifting equipment you are waiting for may sit in transit for over a month, Brexit may further affect waiting times and there is the possibility of hidden costs.
