Vita Inclinata Announces Distribution Partnership With Trident Construction
ROOMFIELD, CO and BRONX, NY, August 18, 2021 — Vita Inclinata (Vita), developer and producer of helicopter and crane load stabilization and precision hardware, today announced Trident Construction (Trident) will be an exclusive reseller of the Vita Load Navigator — included in the Vita Lifting System family. Trident will represent New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Like the Vita Load Pilot, the Vita Load Navigator attaches under the crane and uses the Load Stability System technology to provide heavy duty control and precision to place loads up to 40 tons on construction sites. Even in adverse weather conditions — like high winds from Manhattan’s wind tunnels — the system automatically adjusts to keep the load stable and in a precise orientation. The technology operates to keep workers safe while simultaneously increasing efficiency on job sites; it’s a safer alternative to using taglines.
“When it comes to crane safety, there are no second chances. Those are the things that keep me up at night,” said Trident CEO, Patrick Murphy. Trident, a high-rise and super-structure contractor in the city, owns and operates their own fleet of cranes; thus, sees a huge opportunity for the Vita Load Navigator to keep the project safer and increase efficiency on the job. “Having an automatic system on there that will hold that setting even if winds are acting on it, and a pendant that lets you change the orientation of the load quickly, it doesn’t exist right now. It’s a piece of rope [tagline] hanging off a load.”
“This relationship with Trident is exciting for Vita, and to me on a personal level. Patrick and I share a connection as Naval Aviators, where safety and precision are mission requirements. That connection brought us together for a technology demonstration on one of Trident’s high rise construction projects in Manhattan. Seeing the innovation and precision that Vita’s products bring to high risk construction sites launched this relationship. We can’t wait to get Vita’s Load Systems onsite and make a difference with Trident,” said Chief Commercial Officer, Shelby Mounts.
