HEAVY-LIFT FAQ
No, we have found that a moderate charge of USD $599 per annum ensures we are approached by companies of the right quality, as professional companies tend to invest in marketing.
If a company wants a separate listing (for another division or office for example)
additional listings are charged at the lower fee of USD $399 per annum each.
Each listing can also contain 3 articles with pictures, which are linked to the main company record.
No. The originator of this online directory is the same person that ran The Heavy Lift Group
online operations for the last 10 years, so you will naturally see some similarities.
But while both organisations have rigorous application standards and list many of the same high quality companies, they have very different aims:
Heavy Lift Group |
Heavy Lift Directory |
- Meets 2 weekends a year at different city locations with wives/husbands.
- Very little time spent talking about business, more of a gentlemen's club to reinforce existing relationships.
- Most conferences attract less than half the members, some only 25%.
- Online forums hardly used, typically less than 5 business / partner enquiries posted a year.
- THLG website and member pages not visible in the search engines under generic terms.
- Total of 55 members have joined THLG, but over 30 companies left after failing to identify commercial benefit of membership.
- Was international, but now primarily a Dutch registered and administered organisation.
|
- 100% focused on commercial enquiries and bringing benefit to the listed companies.
- Online resource, very visible in search rankings providing direct benefit for companies listed.
- Current contains over 50 carefully vetted and reputable companies.
- Shortly to introduce online business forums for lead handling and partner discovery.
- No physical meetings at this point in time, but the Administrator of the Directory used to organise THLG conferences for a number of years, so may well introduce annual conference in the future along with other business functions.
- Independent and International.

A listing in The Heavy Lift Directory will not gain you membership of The Heavy Lift Group, you would need to apply to them directly. Likewise listing in The Heavy Lift Group will not automatically gain you a listing in The Heavy Lift Directory.
You may also see The Heavy Lift Directory appear at the domain name www.heavyliftgroup.com . This domain used to belong to The Heavy Lift Group, but when they allowed the domain to expire The Heavy Lift Directory leased it back from its new owners, in order to provide even more visibility for companies that choose to list their details alongside the best operators in the world. We have offered to donate the domain name to The Heavy Lift Group, but they do not consider that they require it so we will continue to use it in our promotion.
