LGH is North America’s largest organization dedicated exclusively to the rental of lifting and rigging equipment. Founded in 1970 as Lifting Gear Hire in Manchester, England by entrepreneur Bill Parkinson, the company established itself as a rigging partner for industries throughout the UK. In 1990, Lifting Gear Hire crossed the Atlantic and planted roots in Bridgeview, Illinois, with Pat Fiscelli spearheading US operations. Through Fiscelli’s leadership, the company expanded quickly with a second warehouse opened in St. Louis, Missouri in 1998, followed by Seattle and Detroit in 2002. Under the dynamic leadership of Pat’s son Tony Fiscelli, the company honored the legacy of its founders by expanding rigging and lifting standards across North America and beyond. In 2020, LGH Global was created, uniting efforts with UK and European counterparts, with the company name officially transitioning from Lifting Gear Hire to LGH. LGH Europe now operates across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Scotland. In 2024, the company opened its 24th North American warehouse in Maryland.
LGH serves industrial and commercial decision-makers who need to move heavy loads safely and efficiently. The company provides an unmatched fleet of safety-certified lifting gear backed by over 50 years of experience and commitment to the highest safety standards. With 24 rental centers and a team of more than 60 experienced rental representatives, LGH delivers the right lifting equipment, expert guidance, and reliable support for every project. The company maintains a massive inventory of over 90,000 pieces of certified lifting and rigging gear stored across 24 warehouses with over 800,000 square feet of inventory space throughout North America. Unlike generalist equipment rental firms that lack specialized lifting expertise, LGH helps complete heavy-lifting projects safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively with superior expertise. From chain hoists and spreader bars to hydraulic jacks and mobile gantry cranes, the fleet gives confidence to take on complex lifting challenges. Every single piece of equipment is tested and re-certified to exceed industry standards.
