The Crosby Group will expand distribution of Verton’s load orientation technology in North America.
The load orientation products include Everest 6, SpinPod 7.5, and SpinPod 30, a modular load orienting system for a broad range of working load limits.
“Verton’s remote-controlled load orientation products provide a step-change in terms of the safety and productivity of our customers’ lifting operations,” said Robert Desel, CEO of The Crosby Group, in a prepared statement. “Verton’s wireless products remotely orientate suspended loads without the need for taglines, using gyroscopes and sophisticated control systems, removing the need for personnel near or under loads.”
Said CEO Tim Ekert of Verton, in a statement:
“We are thrilled to see the investment that The Crosby Group is making in support of our partnership. Verton will have a greatly increased presence in the market to bring our products to new customers and industries and to provide an increased level of support to our existing customers.”
Verton says its load orientation technology reduces downtime by 25 percent and hook time by 50 percent. It also says its users see an immediate improvement in the safety and productivity of their lifting operations.
