What STAHT LIMITED does

Staht Limited is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of professional digital pull testing equipment, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Stourbridge. The company's core product line comprises Bluetooth-connected digital force gauges — the t25 (up to 25kN) and t60 (up to 60kN) — together with Heavy Duty hydraulic testers (18T and 36T), LT line/swage testers, shear test kits, reaction bridges, and a portfolio of accessories and rebar adaptors. All hardware integrates with Staht Connect, a proprietary mobile app and cloud dashboard that captures tests live over Bluetooth, applies GPS pinning, and generates audit-ready reports; the app is included as standard with t25 and t60 purchases.

The business sells through a hybrid direct and channel model: customers can purchase directly via the staht.com e-commerce storefront, while 29 authorized distributors across 18 countries handle local sales, calibration, and service. Named reference customers include Fischer, Arco Professional Safety Services, and Reid Lifting, with Leach's serving as the flagship UK scaffolding distribution partner under the company's largest-ever channel agreement (November 2025). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales (tiered kits priced £1,825–£5,995), supplemented by recurring calibration services at £135 per unit and hands-on training delivered at Stourbridge or on customer sites. The software component is bundled with hardware rather than sold as a separate subscription.

All equipment is designed and manufactured in the UK, certified to BS8539 and BS7883, CE marked, and supported by UKAS-traceable calibration. End customers are scaffolding contractors, fall protection specialists, rope access technicians, and lifting and rigging engineers — verticals where compliance documentation and traceability are procurement-critical. The company has won Product of the Year at the 2025 Scaffolding Excellence Awards for the t25 and holds a Made in Britain designation. The stated commercial target is £1 million in revenue by 2026, against a current team of fewer than ten employees, with no external institutional funding disclosed in the available data.

Direct peers

• Mecmesin: Mecmesin is a UK-based manufacturer of force and torque testing equipment used in quality control and anchor/fixing testing. It directly competes with Staht in the digital force gauge category and serves similar scaffolding, fastener, and safety-compliance customers.
• Hydrajaws: Hydrajaws is a UK manufacturer specializing in pull testing kits for fixings, anchors, and scaffold ties. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Staht's t25/t60 range and operates in the same BS8539/BS7883 compliance use cases for the UK construction industry.
• Mark-10 Corporation: Mark-10 is a US-based manufacturer of force and torque measurement instruments including digital force gauges. It competes with Staht on digital pull testing hardware and serves overlapping quality-control and safety-testing customers globally.
• Imada Incorporated: Imada is a manufacturer of digital and mechanical force gauges, pull testers, and torque measurement equipment. It is comparable to Staht in offering digital force testing hardware used in materials and anchoring applications.

Others

• Leach's: Leach's is a UK distributor of scaffolding, access, and safety equipment and Staht's largest distribution partner. It is comparable as a channel/ecosystem participant rather than a competitor, shaping how Staht's products reach UK scaffolding contractors.
• SafetyLiftinGear: SafetyLiftinGear is a UK supplier of lifting, rigging, and safety equipment and an authorized Staht distributor. It is comparable as a channel partner serving overlapping customer segments for lifting and rigging testing equipment.
• Hilti AG: Hilti is a global construction tools and fastening systems provider, including anchor testing equipment and software. It is comparable as an adjacent player that sells into the same scaffolding and construction-safety customer base, though its core business is fastening products rather than dedicated pull testers.

Broad incumbents

• Tinius Olsen: Tinius Olsen is a long-established manufacturer of materials testing equipment including tensile and compression testers. It is broadly comparable as a force-testing incumbent, though its scale, customer set, and product breadth exceed Staht's specialized pull-testing focus.
• Shimadzu Scientific Instruments: Shimadzu is a large diversified instrumentation company with materials and mechanical testing product lines. It is comparable only at the broadest industry level (test & measurement equipment), and is not a direct competitor in scaffolding/anchor pull testing.
• Instron (ITW): Instron is a global incumbent in materials and structural testing systems, offering a much wider product portfolio than Staht. It is comparable because it sells force-testing equipment into overlapping industrial and laboratory customers, though at higher capacity and price points.
