Central Hydraulic Loaders Ltd

Many people ask us how we got into this industry. Quite simply put- it was by accident! In the mid 1980’s our MD Tracie took a temporary position as a receptionist in a Truck Mounted Crane Company. From that very first moment she was fascinated by cranes and their functionality and was eager to sell the Cranes, and quickly became a competent operator.

As you might imagine, anyone who has lived in the misogynous era of 1980’s will understand how sceptical the sector was that a 22-year-old woman was going to have any success in the Crane Trade. However, they hadn’t bargained for the support and expertise of two amazing engineers who offered Tracie brilliant and practical engineering skills that we still rely on today. They also hadn’t considered Tracie’s own passion, desire and competence to be the very best in her chosen career. Attributes that have helped her drive the business forward.

When formal qualifications became available Tracie become a fully qualified Operator and then ALLMI Inspector and Tester.
