Last week, the SafetyLiftinGear team attended the ABTT Theatre Show at Alexandra Palace in London. We think it's safe to say that the event went terrifically well - not only did we meet lots of new clients and interesting people, we actually came away from Alexandra Palace with a new trophy for the SLG cabinet!

Our Duke DCH battery-powered chain hoist was chosen as ABTT's Widget of the Year 2015, which is an award for the most useful product at the show. The trophy we received is pictured above alongside the prize-winning hoist itself (thanks to Meg and Lucy for their modelling skills!)

Here's what the ABTT judges had to say about the Duke DCH:

"The judges were very impressed with this product, and expect to see them in numerous applications and in the hands of many technicians soon, especially considering the budget conscious price tag. The benefits of a lightweight battery-powered motor capable of lifting 250kg or 500kg are huge. This is exactly the type of tool that will help solve many of the problems that working technicians have to deal with daily, offering a safe way to haul without needing large power and control infrastructure."

We were thrilled to receive this award from the Association of British Theatre Technicians, and we hope that everyone else enjoyed this year's show as much as we did!
