William Hackett LTD operate from two principal locations and maintains strong links with its local communities. Cradley Heath, in the West Midlands, the home of UK chain making, is where it all began.

In 1892, William Hackett LTD started manufacturing chain products for the agricultural and marine sectors and has emerged to become a global leader in the manufacture of chain harrows. Alnwick, Northumberland, is where we established our lifting division in 1989. From Alnwick, we manufacture and distribute their internationally specified chain sling systems and a manual hoisting range. The business has expanded several times during the last two decades to meet demand for their internationally recognised HA and WH brands.
