Beta Max adds Pega in the US
15 April 2008
Beta Max Inc, the US company that specializes in importing European hoists, has become the distributor for Pega Hoists in the US. The deal was made public at World of Concrete where Beta Max showed a Pega 2740 hoist (2700 kg capacity, 4 m wide cage).
Dennis Mannion, Beta Max president (pictured below with Beta Max's vice president for marketing,
Tami Hamilton) told AI, “Pega needed a strong service oriented company to sell and support its products.â€
Mr Mannion, who has been importing European hoists and mast climbers for the past 20 years, including Maber and Electroelsa models, said the low speed version of the Pega hoist (150 ft/min) would be the most appropriate model for the US market, both because of its more attractive price and because “it will serve a bigger portion of the market.†It will be most suitable for building heights of between 200 ft and 300 ft (60 m to 90 m).
The company will sell the hoists under the Pega brand in the US. Around 60 Pega hoists are already operating in North America, and recent large orders include 14 twin–cabin units, each with 500 ft (152 m) of mast, to General Crane USA in Miami.
