LGH President Tony Fiscelli on the Importance of Lift Safety in the Rental Industry

LGH president Tony Fiscelli
In our industry, lift safety isn’t optional — it’s essential. At LGH, we understand that the equipment we provide is used in some of the most demanding and high-risk environments: power plants, refineries, construction sites, and critical infrastructure projects across the country.
That’s why safety is not just a part of our process — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
Safety Starts with Certified Equipment
What sets LGH apart from many rental companies is our uncompromising approach to equipment testing, inspection, and certification. Every hoist, beam, and jack we rent is:
-
• Thoroughly tested
-
• Fully certified
-
• Backed by detailed lift planning support
We know our customers are trusting us with more than just equipment — they’re trusting us with their teams’ safety and project success. That trust is something we take very seriously.
Lift Safety Is Built Into Our Culture
Lift safety isn’t just about having the right tools — it’s about building a culture of awareness, preparation, and communication. Whether you’re lifting a beam during steel erection or setting equipment during a plant shutdown, safety starts long before the rigging begins.
At LGH, we actively promote:
-
• Comprehensive lift plans
-
• On-site hazard awareness
-
• Proper PPE and hands-on equipment training
-
• Clear communication among crews
It’s this attention to detail that helps prevent injuries, reduce delays, and keep job sites running smoothly.

Our Commitment: Safer Lifts, Every Time
We stand by our mission to be the industry leader in safe, certified equipment rental for hoisting and rigging. From the first inspection to the final lift, our processes are designed to help our customers execute every lift safely and successfully.
Safety is more than a priority — it’s a promise. And it’s one we’re proud to uphold, every single day.
