Lifting heavy equipment can be extremely dangerous. It is crucial that correct training and equipment is used to prevent accidents and fatalities in the workplace. 

Last year it was reported that a 37 year old warehouse worker died in a tragic accident on his first shift as saw operator for a business in the Cardiff docks area. 

There were no eye witnesses to the accident but it is believed that the worker may have been attempting to attach lifting chains around a girder unsupervised.  Staff members found him pinned between two pieces, attempts were made to remove the girder but Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. 

Although training was provided, there was no clear instruction about which method for moving or cutting the two tonne steel columns should be used. It came to light that the company did not have written guidance on how to lift the girders, leaving their employees to create their own ways. 

The company was fined £112,000 and ordered to pay £98,000 in costs. 

Accidents like these, whether they end in a fatality like the above case, or a worker ends up hurt are tragic, because they are so easily preventable. 

As an employer it is your responsibility to ensure that your employees are working in a safe environment by providing comprehensive training to all your employees and training them to use the right equipment and wear the correct PPE at all times. 

Before engaging in any type of heavy lifting, you need to ensure that all of your equipment meets or exceeds the working load limit (WLL) of the load you are planning on lifting or moving. 

Additionally you must also ensure that any lifting tasks are correctly planned, supervised and conducted in a safe manner, with people who are fully trained to use the equipment needed. You must also perform an inspection of all the lifting equipment that you will be using. Do not use equipment that is worn or damaged in any way. 

Here at SafetyLiftinGear we stock a fully comprehensive range of top quality heavy lifting equipment, including a large range of beam clampschainblocksleverhoistselectric hoists, wire rope hoistsround slingschainslings and more. Click here to view our extensive lifting equipment range.

In the run up to Christmas, Heathrow Airport uploaded this lovely time-lapse video, which shows the step by step process of their Christmas vision coming to life! From hanging orbs to giant Christmas trees, this video reveals how the team behind these beautiful decorations put everything together, to create a wonderful  display for the holiday season. 

To view the video, click below:


Having watched the video, you will have noticed that this scale of Christmas decorating requires a lot more than your standard step ladder to put a plan into action! A large scale operation such as this requires a whole host of equipment to achieve the desired result, and we are proud to say that the lifting gear in this video was in fact, provided by our West London depot!

From the LoadSurfer material lift to pallet trucks and safety harnesses, SafetyLiftinGear supplied a range of items for the project, in order to help the team at Heathrow put their display together safely. It's great to be able to put our name to such an incredible project, and we are also very pleased to be able to share a more light-hearted safety gear story with you!

Scissor lifts tables are specialised aerial lifts designed to lift large pallets and loads and are commonly integrated into production, construction lines to accommodate change in levels or to provide a table that is at comfortable height for the worker. 
 
When purchasing a scissor lift table you need to consider the height that you need to reach and the weight of the load it needs to support. Here at SafetyLiftinGear our mobile scissor platform tables all have a different working load limit, from 150kg to 1000kg and a lift height ranging from 720mm to 1500mm.  
 
At SafetyLiftinGear we only stock hydraulic mobile scissor lifts because they provide the most economical, dependable, and versatile method of lifting. Our hydraulic scissor lifts have few moving parts, so there are fewer parts that will need servicing and less parts that could breakdown causing downtime so you will get many trouble free years with our platform tables. However, in the unlikely event that you do have an issue we offer a 12 months warranty on our entire range of platform tables. 
 
These scissor lift tables rise loads smoothly and are operated by a foot pedal located at the bottom, they also feature a fold flat handle so these scissor lifts are easy to store and transport from warehouse to warehouse. Finally, all the wheels are made from polyurethane making them hard wearing, oil and solvent resistant, and resistant to extreme temperatures making our scissor lift platforms the perfect addition to workshops, garages and warehouses.
