Greetings and Happy 2026!
Welcome to the First LGH Newsletter of 2026. January is about setting the tone for the year ahead, and we’re starting 2026 with a win worth celebrating. LGH’s Multi-Lug Lifting Beams have earned the First-Place Gold Award at the 2025 Leadership in Lifting Equipment and Aerial Platforms (LLEAP) Awards, recognizing innovation, versatility, and real-world performance in the lifting and rigging industry.
The LLEAP Awards spotlight modern innovations shaping the lifting and aerial equipment landscape. The LLEAP Award judges noted, “This Multi-Lug Lifting Beam is very versatile in the crane and rigging space. It’s a design I’ve seen others duplicate; however, you don’t often see lugs at the top and bottom. I find this the most versatile due to its range of tonnage options.”
This recognition reflects what teams across LGH deliver every day: smart solutions, trusted equipment, and expertise that helps customers work safer and more efficiently. As we kick off the new year, this award is a reminder that our commitment to quality, problem-solving, and continuous improvement is strong in 2026.
Multi-lug lifting beams aid with the hoisting of longitudinal loads.
If your air winch (also known as an air tugger) isn’t pulling correctly, running weak, or is spooling unevenly, this video will walk you through the most common causes—and how to fix them.
LGH’s Aaron Orsak breaks down troubleshooting on the Sani MPW50 11,000 lb air winch, with tips that apply to most industrial winches in this class. We’ll cover air supply issues, CFM and PSI requirements, leak detection, proper spooling, fleet angle problems, and the accessories that keep your air-powered winch running at full strength.
Glass panels, precision lifting, and sharks… just another day for LGH.
LGH recently supported Cement Cutting Inc. with a challenging lift at SeaWorld San Diego’s new shark exhibit. Using a Ruger cantilever floor crane, the team safely removed existing glass panels and precisely installed the new ones. This project showcases LGH’s ability to adapt solutions to even the most specialized jobsites.
Shoutout to LGH Rental Rep Cameron Brown for supporting Cement Cutting Inc. and the fin-tastic photo!
