A history of excellence in Refrigeration Engineering
Lightfoot is committed to providing a superior service, and has invested in a Quality Management System which has been approved by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance to BS EN ISO 9001. Lightfoot ensures that this quality system adheres to a process of continuous improvement through a strict programme of internal audits.

We supply Engineers to integrate with current staff and have the proficiency to undertake projects both at home and abroad.
In a desire to remain innovative and up-to-date, in addition to the detailed design abilities and facilities at Lightfoot, Lightfoot runs its own Research and Development section. The section incorporates a climate chamber; from which it can test equipment at a wide range of environmental conditions, and uses the latest refrigeration equipment (such as the iManifold, that can wirelessly monitor and trend different readings simultaneously) to develop and perfect design and innovation.
One example of successful work that emerged from the R&D is our Refrigeration Reclaim unit.
There are numerous innovations currently in the development stage, including a unique new concept of a dehumidifier.
The in-house International Design Team contributes a wealth of experience, expertise, knowledge and exemplify the company’s values (quality, innovation and design) and work alongside brand values. Giving Lightfoot a consistent design approach and allowing design to set benchmark standards within the industry has seen the company rewarded with numerous international Contracts.
Lightfoot is fully conversant with the requirements for both military and industry applications, including noise, vibration, EMC and safety both in the UK and abroad.
Lightfoot can incorporate the following into holistic service requirements:
Lightfoot is the UK’s leading manufacturer of hand built reciprocating compressors for specialist Low Magnetic applications for military use, (especially mine warfare vessels).
This range of compressors are precision built at Lightfoot’s manufacturing facility in Hampshire UK, the compressors are an integral part of the comprehensive ‘systems packages’.
Lightfoot employs security cleared engineers to undertake installation and commissioning projects worldwide.
This facilitates a more holistic project approach, and we are therefore better able to manage the resources and phases of installation and commissioning (often including customer training).
Previous installations include Japan, Saudi Arabia, the UK and Germany, amongst others.
As part of Lightfoot’s commitment to long-term customer satisfaction, a total maintenance and service solution is offered on all projects.
We have teams of engineers strategically located throughout the UK and worldwide who provide planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, full facilities maintenance, site surveys, and produce and undertake servicing routines; from calendar-based servicing to a more realistic ‘time run’ approach.
