Some partnerships aren’t defined by contracts or product lines — they’re defined by trust earned over time, shared standards, and a commitment to doing the work the right way.
For more than 25 years, the team behind Harrington Hoists and CERTEX have worked side by side to support the lifting and rigging industry with solutions rooted in safety, reliability, and long-term performance. What began with humble beginnings has grown into a nationwide partnership built on mutual respect and shared values.
A Partnership Grounded in Trust and Safety
At the heart of the CERTEX–Harrington relationship is a shared belief that safety is never optional and quality is never negotiable. The Harrington brand’s long-standing reputation for dependable lifting solutions aligns seamlessly with CERTEX’s commitment to protecting people, loads, and operations across every industry we serve.
This alignment has been recognized time and again through multiple Distributor Excellence, Outstanding Distributor, and Platinum Club Awards — honors that reflect not just performance, but consistency, collaboration, and trust.
Supporting Customers Where It Matters Most
True partnership doesn’t stop at delivery — it shows up in the field. The Harrington team and CERTEX regularly work together to bring hands-on learning directly to customers through on-site demonstrations using the Harrington Demo Van, allowing teams to see, touch, and understand equipment in real-world applications.
CERTEX also hosts regional Harrington factory repair schools, reinforcing both companies’ shared dedication to proper inspection, safe repair practices, and ongoing education. These efforts ensure that lifting equipment is not only high-performing but properly maintained throughout its lifecycle.
Innovation Backed by Experience
As a leading product brand of Kito Crosby, Harrington represents one of the most respected names in the global lifting and securement industry. With more than 250 years of combined innovation across its iconic brands, Kito Crosby continues to set the standard for quality, engineering excellence, and customer support.
The Harrington brand’s role within that family reflects the same focus CERTEX brings to the market: delivering high-quality solutions designed to perform in demanding environments, supported by knowledgeable teams and responsive service long after installation.
A Broad Range of Proven Lifting Solutions
Harrington’s strength lies not only in its legacy, but in the breadth and reliability of the solutions it brings to the market. Trusted Harrington products include electric and air-powered chain hoists, electric wire rope hoists, lever hoists, and manual hand chain hoists, along with push, geared, and powered trolleys, overhead cranes, crane accessories, and below-the-hook devices.
Complemented by material handling equipment and a full line of replacement parts, the Harrington portfolio is designed to support lifting operations throughout the entire equipment lifecycle — from installation and daily use to inspection, service, and long-term reliability.
