IPS has made a further significant investment in EXE Technology chain hoists, adding to its motor fleet inventory, reinforcing its commitment to providing safe, reliable, and high-performance automation solutions for its clients.
Based in Milton Keynes, IPS has taken delivery of an additional 40 500kg, 20 1,000kg, and 24 2000kg EXE Rise D8+ chain hoists.
IPS offers extensive rental inventory in staging, rigging, motors, lighting, video, sound, and power from its new state-of-the-art HQ facility in MK, which it relocated to in 2025. Due to the increased popularity and demand for varied-capacity EXE hoists for dry hire projects via the IPS rental team, IPS’s EXE Rise D8+ chain hoist inventory has been expanded.
The latest investment equates to an overall inventory of over 300 hoists, which are now available to hire from IPS. This makes them amongst the largest EXE rental suppliers in the UK, with a full range of half-ton hoists that scale up to two-ton hoists. The units continue to be a popular workhorse, delivering a strong return on investment and strengthening IPS’s rigging portfolio.
James Mason, IPS Owner and Key Account Director, said: “The EXE Rise motors have been a great investment as they just keep going out the door. From a rental perspective, they meet all our customer requirements and have proved a popular product. Our crew like using them, and our customers keep asking for them. The biggest issue has been keeping up with the demand. A big thank you to Area Four Industries UK for continuing to work with us to deliver everything to fit with our project timescales.”
EXE chain hoists are globally recognised for their robust engineering, advanced safety features, and suitability for complex high-load lifting environments. By increasing its EXE hoist fleet, IPS enhances its ability to deliver flexible solutions to rental clients of varying sizes and complexities. The new hoists have been integrated into IPS’s existing inventory and are already being commissioned for upcoming projects ahead of what’s predicted to be a busy 2026.
This latest investment underscores IPS’s ongoing strategy to invest in premium technology and equipment that supports safe operations, innovation, and continues Area Four Industries long-term partnership with the IPS team.
