STS - Bespoke Handling Equipment

STS have been designing and building high-quality equipment for almost 20 years, setting the standard in the manual handling industry. STS began in 1999 with our award-winning drum trolley design. Since then, they have grown by inventing new units to overcome the problems of their customers, developing an impressive portfolio along the way.

STS are proud to be leading the way as a responsible manufacturer of high-quality handling equipment. Using only the best steel from trusted sources, they design, construct, and rigorously test all units in their UK factory to ensure compliance with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations.

Please feel free to contact us if you’d like to learn more about what we can do for you.

Experts - We’ve been in the industry for over 20 years – as ground-level handlers, designers and engineers. As such, we know the kind of equipment we would want to use, and we know how to make it. Our units are tried, tested, and trusted worldwide, in industries ranging from nuclear and defence to food and pharmaceuticals. Using our experience, we listen to our customers and provide them with the exact solutions they need

Exceptional - We’re committed to quality. Cheap, poorly made equipment puts workers at risk of injury, especially when handling heavier loads or prolonged use. We ensure that our units are fully compliant with Manual Handling Regulations and are ergonomic and safe to use. We source our steel from trusted suppliers and design, construct, and quality control all our pieces in our UK warehouse. As a result, we’ve earned a reputation for exceptional quality and units that outlast and outperform anything else on the market.

Helpful - At STS, we firmly believe that the customer experience goes beyond the sale of a product – we’ll never sell someone a unit that they don’t need. We guide our customers through the purchasing process to ensure they select the right unit for their needs, offering expert advice to help them make an informed decision. By offering a sale or return guarantee, our customers can be completely assured that our product meets their requirements before making a purchase. All sold units come with Technical Support and a two-year warranty. Free instructional videos can be found on our website.

Responsible - We believe that all companies have an ethical responsibility to ensure their products are safe and fit for purpose, especially in industries such as manual handling. Unlike most distributors, all of our products fully comply with the Manual Handling Regulations, and we also offer ATEX-compliant models. We supply to industries such as nuclear and petrochemical, where safety is a key concern. For complete transparency, we welcome customers to visit our site and see how we design and build our units using high-quality raw materials.

Innovative - Since our award-winning drum trolley went on sale, we’ve grown by adapting to problems and providing our customers with solutions. We offer modifications of standard equipment to meet specific needs and design complete bespoke products from scratch. As the industry evolves and advances, we continue to adapt and incorporate new technologies, refining our designs and inventing innovative solutions to address challenges.
