For over 50 years, LGH has been guided by a singular vision: to be the industry leader in lifting and rigging rentals.
Entrepreneur Bill Parkinson originally founded Lifting Gear Hire in Manchester, England, in 1970. Parkinson recognized the need for custom rental solutions and successfully established the company as a rigging partner for industries throughout the UK.
In 1990, Lifting Gear Hire crossed the Atlantic and planted roots in Bridgeview, IL. Pat Fiscelli spearheaded U.S. operations, synthesizing his years of industry insight and Parkinson’s original blueprint into a vision for the future.
Through Fiscelli’s leadership, Lifting Gear Hire expanded quickly. A second warehouse was opened in St. Louis, MO in 1998, followed by Seattle and Detroit in 2002. Today, LGH warehouses can be found all across the U.S. and Canada.

Now, under the dynamic leadership of Pat’s son Tony Fiscelli, we honor the legacy and pioneering spirits of our founders by elevating rigging and lifting standards across North America and beyond.
2020 marked a pivotal chapter for LGH with the inception of LGH Global, uniting our efforts with our UK and European counterparts. With this globalization effort, the company name officially transitioned from Lifting Gear Hire to LGH.
Today, LGH Europe proudly operates across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Scotland, reflecting our commitment to global excellence.
LGH’s growth trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary. In 2024, we opened our 24th North American warehouse in Maryland. With 24 strategic warehouse locations across the US and Canada, supplemented by innovative unmanned sub-centers in key cities like Boston and Cedar Rapids, we ensure that our comprehensive lifting and rigging solutions are always within reach.
At LGH, we don’t just rent equipment; we provide peace of mind. Our extensive inventory is meticulously selected for its durability and reliability. This ensures that customers like you have access to the highest quality hoisting, pulling, jacking, and rigging gear on the market. Meticulously maintained and ready for action, our equipment is a testament to our unwavering dedication to safety and efficiency.
