Built Here.
Built Right.
Built to Stay.

Plenty of companies sell overhead lifting equipment. Only one can claim all of this:

American Manufacturing

Engineered and built in Tennessee and Virginia.

Brand Stewardship

Multiple product brands, each with decades of earned trust. We don’t consolidate them or dilute them. We invest in them.

Operator First

Everything we do starts with the person operating the hoist. Design, service, and innovation are all measured by one standard: does this make the operator’s job safer, easier, and more productive?

Parts & Service Continuity

Same products. Same part numbers. Same people who build and service them. Your specs carry forward without interruption.

The Brands You Already Trust

Our customers don’t call us by our corporate name. They call for Lodestar. They spec Coffing. They rely on Herc-Alloy. They’ve got Chester part numbers in their tool cribs. Stuart Rush exists to steward these brands, not overshadow them.
