Channel Partner
Kito Crosby
KITO has been synonymous with uncompromising safety and durability in industrial lifting since its founding in Japan in 1932. Today, KITO — now part of KITO Crosby following its merger with The Crosby Group — is the global leader in material‑handling and load‑securement equipment, manufacturing electric chain hoists, manual lever hoists, wire rope hoists, light crane systems, and below‑the‑hook devices for virtually every industrial vertical . KITO products are designed for extreme duty cycles, harsh environments, and precision load control: the KITO EQ series electric chain hoist, for instance, delivers lifting capacities from 125 kg to 1,000 kg with exceptionally smooth, low‑vibration operation that enhances workplace safety and component longevity. The rugged KITO RX wire rope hoist range spans capacities from 1,000 kg to 50,000 kg, engineered for dependable performance in steel mills, shipyards, and heavy manufacturing. Every KITO product carries the company’s hallmark philosophy — “Value both the standard and custom‑made products” — meaning standard catalogue items meet broad industrial needs, while custom‑engineered solutions address unique lifting challenges. As a KITO channel partner, we deliver the complete KITO portfolio backed by certified installation, annual load testing, and genuine spare parts support.

Why KITO Is the Trusted Choice for Critical Lifting Operations
KITO’s 90‑year legacy is built on a refusal to compromise. The company’s vertically integrated manufacturing — from steel chain production to final assembly — ensures complete quality control and traceability. KITO hoists feature double‑reduction gearing and induction‑hardened load chains and load sheaves that significantly reduce wear, even under continuous operation. The recently expanded KITO Crosby portfolio now delivers a true single‑source lifting solution: from manual chain blocks to sophisticated electric wire rope hoists, light cranes, and rigging hardware — all engineered to work together seamlessly. For procurement and safety managers, this means fewer suppliers to manage, standardized training, and assured compliance with LOLER, PUWER, and OSHA lifting regulations.
Industries & Applications for KITO Lifting Equipment
KITO hoists and cranes serve a broad cross‑section of industry. Construction & civil engineering crews rely on KITO lever hoists for steel erection, bridge building, and tunnel formwork positioning. Manufacturing & assembly plants use KITO electric chain hoists and light crane systems for ergonomic workstation lifting and JIT production line material handling . Shipbuilding & marine operations deploy KITO RX wire rope hoists for heavy component lifts in corrosive, salt‑spray environments. Power generation, mining, and oil & gas facilities choose KITO for ATEX‑rated and spark‑resistant hoist variants. Automotive & logistics warehouses integrate KITO workstation cranes for fast, precise picking and pallet handling.
