Being an authorised Gorbel distributor doesn’t just mean recommending top-tier products. It means living and breathing the nuts and bolts of what we do—literally. That’s why CESL founder Marvin Mc Intosh spent two weeks in the United States at Gorbel’s intensive distributor training.

Gorbel, headquartered in New York, is a leading manufacturer of overhead material handling: workstation bridge cranes, jib cranes, ergonomic lifting devices, and fall protection systems. Their multiday programme goes far beyond the classroom. For example, during this event, in the hands-on demo area, teams:

  • construct a complete workstation crane from the floor up
  • brainstorm real application problems together with logistics and material handling professionals from across the network.

Why does assembling a crane by hand matter to a client in Trinidad?

Because the person who has torqued the anchors, squared the runways, and levelled the columns himself is the person who can inspect your installation, catch what’s wrong, and specify what’s right—from crane technology to ergonomic lifting to fall arrest safety systems.


What this means for you

  • Installations assessed by hands that have built the equipment — not just sold it.
  • Advice grounded in Gorbel’s current standards, upgrades, and best practices.
  • A direct line into Gorbel’s engineering network when your application is unusual.
