Strategic Partnerships

Stahl, AADI, Paccar Braden Planetary, Latchways, Reflex Marine and Bosch Rexroth:
Growing partnerships with technology and component suppliers for the lifting and access support industries

Sparrows are uniquely placed as a service company rather than manufacturer when it comes to the specification and supply of spares. Not being tied to any particular brand allows Sparrows the freedom to specify the most appropriate spares: whether for holding as insurance spares for a new piece of lifting equipment; as consumables during normal operations or to re-engineer and replace obsolete components.

Many years of experience have allowed Sparrows to align itself with key component and system vendors to develop strategic partnerships. Not only does this mean lower cost, but Sparrows gains preferential delivery times and is able to tap into the technical knowledge of the vendor.

Our strategic partnerships include the following companies:

• Stahl Crane Systems – Ex explosion proof hoists
• AADI – Mipeg – load monitoring systems
• Paccar Braden Planetary - gear winches
• Latchways PLC – Cable based fall arrest systems
• Reflex Marine – FROG Marine personnel transfer capsule

Sparrows will always specify the most cost-effective solution that meets the required standard. This position is further strengthened by the fact that Sparrows hold maintenance contracts for many clients around the world and have consequently built up a multi-million pounds holding of critical spares. These are typically items with long delivery times that would render the lifting equipment unusable if failure occurred, but which may only be required routinely once every ten years.

Sparrows can offer peace of mind and guarantee that if we do not have the part in stock, then we know where to get it from, have the relationship with the vendor that gets the best delivery and can get the part to you as quickly as possible.
