Engineers from A.C. Entertainment Technologies (AC-ET) Ltd's rigging division have passed the new official Columbus McKinnon (CM) "certified hoist technician" examination, making AC-ET the only CM Entertainment reseller and servicing agent in the UK to have engineers trained and authorized to this level of certification.

The course --- which is a new initiative by the manufacturer --- was conducted by CM's training manager, David Carmack, at the company's UK headquarters in Merseyside, UK. All four AC-ET engineers who attended passed the full set of practical modules and a detailed written examination with flying colors.

The AC-ET staff -- Martin Price, Julian Tether, Keith Hartley, and Graham Lovell -- are based across the company's High Wycombe and Leeds offices and work as part of the highly experienced A.C. Rigging team. Adam Beaumont, head of A.C. rigging, comments, "When the official hoist technician's course came online from CM, it was extremely important for AC-ET's technicians to be able to gain the most advanced credentials. Our engineers have all spent literally thousands of hours working on building and servicing CM motors, but taking the course, passing the exam, and receiving this full recognition from the manufacturer, is a further official endorsement of their skills and competence."

AC-ET is a leading UK distributor for CM's Entertainment Technology. A.C. Rigging has an in-house department dedicated to the assembly of new build CM Entertainment Lodestar and Prostar electric chain hoists. The division also offers a motor inspection, repair and certification service.
