Testimonial

Messier-Dowty Ltd is the UK subsidiary of Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, the world leader in aircraft landing and braking systems, part of the international Safran Group and also world leader in the deisgn, manufacture and support of aircraft landing gear. Technological advancement coupled with cost effectiveness and envirmonmental responsibilities are at the centre of their landing gear solutions. In maintaining their market lead, lifting and materials handling systems are an essential part of production and processing operations.

“Messier-Dowty Ltd has worked with Crane Services for over 15 years and I have personally worked with them for 7 years.

Since joining, I have gained a far better understanding of the cranes on our site through working with Crane Services. All their staff conduct themselves in a friendly manner, as well as maintaining a high level of professionalism.

Crane Services offers us a rapid response to any breakdowns that may occur on site. This we feel is one of their main attributes as our aim is to maintain a competitive lead time. They also operate on a 24/7 callout, which is very important to us and helps us to maintain ongoing operations.

The level of expertise we find to be very good and we have yet to find any lifting problem they cannot resolve.

We have found the Flex Radio Control system to be of real benefit. Our previous systems created blind spots but we have not found this to be the case with the Flex Remote Control systems from Crane Services. Providing a spare handset as standard is also a real benefit within our working environment.

Finally, I have always found the Crane Services team to be friendly and professional. The quality of their work is always of a high standard and I would recommend them to any company looking to use their services and the equipment they provide.”
