Leach’s has signed an exclusive agreement to supply Staht’s latest digital pull tester to the UK scaffolding sector.
The Staht T25, which features Bluetooth connectivity and a full-colour display, is designed to provide scaffolders with more accurate and efficient testing of anchor fixings. The device links with the Staht® Connect mobile app, allowing test results to be logged with GPS location, photos and real-time digital records.
David Bezant, Head of Marketing at Leach’s, said: “We have become trusted within the scaffolding sector for providing only the very best solutions, and partnering with Staht to make their pull tester easily available to scaffolders was an easy decision.
The Staht T25 is the most advanced piece of equipment a scaffolder can own and we are confident that once you try it, you’ll be a fan for life.”
Rob Hirst, Managing Director of Staht, said the collaboration would help broaden access to digital testing tools: “Our mission has always been to make digital pull testing more accessible. Working with Leach’s, a trusted name in scaffolding safety, allows us to deliver that vision at scale. “Together we can remove many of the barriers that have made testing and reporting feel time-consuming, while raising standards and supporting the scaffolding community.”
Staht, based in Stourbridge near Dudley, was founded in 2020 by mechanical engineer Rob Hirst, a former 3M product manager. Since launching during the COVID-19 lockdown, the firm has grown into an international supplier of digital pull-testing technology, with its flagship T60 model now used in more than 15 countries including Australia, the US and across Europe.
Earlier this year, Staht set a £1m sales target as interest in its technology increases across the scaffolding and access industries. The company has recently expanded operations at Hayes Lane Trading Estate with a new warehouse, workshop and training facility.
The exclusive deal with Leach’s marks the first distribution partnership for the T25 in the scaffolding sector, strengthening its availability to contractors seeking digital inspection solutions.
