Spider, a division of SafeWorks LLC, has deployed an emergency response plan to supply resources and personnel to customers in need of access and safety products in areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Spider provides powered access and safety solutions for the construction, restoration and maintenance industries and is anticipating high demand as reconstruction efforts begin. Spider is planning for this by relocating products and personnel to areas where they will be most needed.

Lifting Gear reports little damage
Lifting Gear Hire is pleased to report that there has been little to no damage to the building and inventory of their new distribution center, recently opened in July. The distribution center is located in the Jefferson Parish area of New Orleans, one of the many parishes that face evacuations of at least a one-month duration.

While news reports indicate that the majority of the flooding in the parish has been drained, residents with an ID were permitted to return Monday 9/6/2005 but urged to gather belongings and leave.

Electrical and sewerage capabilities are still ceased, and parish officials predict that "it will be weeks before Jefferson Parish is livable."

Lifting Gear Hire Corporation stocks over 80,000 pieces of lifting equipment available for rental through its worldwide locations, which encompass The United States, UK, Holland, and Germany. In addition to the new New Orleans location, Lifting Gear Hire operates U.S. distribution facilities in Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Texas and Washington.
