When working on scaffolding there is a significant fall risk that you need to be aware of. Every scaffold worker knows that having the right safety equipment is important before you make a start on a job. There are all kinds of harnesses on the market, it can be hard to know which one is the right option for your work scenario. Don't worry, we're here to help!
Generally, the best harnesses for scaffolders are lightweight and don't restrict movement. Often, the best place to connect a worker to the scaffold is behind them. This way, any ropes or lanyards will be kept well out of the way.
Here are our recommendations if you're looking for the best harness to use on scaffolding.
When it comes to choosing the best harness for use on scaffolding, the P34EL has lots of features that make it a great option. It's been designed with comfort and usability in mind, the elasticated legs and comfort padding in the shoulders and legs mean it can be worn for many hours without causing discomfort. It also features and aluminium rear dorsal anchor point, a lanyard extension tail and can be fully adjusted to support your body perfectly.

Our P50 Multi Purpose Harness is also one of the best harnesses for use on scaffolding because it provides unrivalled comfort and lumbar support. This makes it a great choice for scaffolders that are working long days or carrying a lot of tools/materials. The work positioning belt gives additional support to the worker and makes the overall working environment safer. We'd definitely recommend looking at this safety harness if you'll be working on scaffolding in the near future!
If you're looking for the best harness for use on scaffolding on a budget, then the G-Force P11 2-Point Full Body Safety Harness is the one for you! Despite coming in at a lower price than the more premium P50 and P34EL harnesses, this harness still has a lot of great features to keep you safe and secure whilst working on scaffolding. It's fully adjustable and has front and rear attachment points.

These elasticated shock-absorbing lanyards come with scaffold hooks, making them incredibly easy to use. We find these are some of the best lanyards for use on scaffolding because the elasticated webbing prevents the webbing from trailing around and becoming a trip hazard. Features like this are incredibly useful when you're working at height for prolonged periods of time. We'd recommend using these lanyards with our P34EL and P50 scaffold safety harnesses.
Single Elasticated Shock Absorbing Lanyard >
This kit comes complete with everything you need to work on scaffolding safely. The harness included in the kit is our popular P10 Full Safety Harness which can be fully adjusted to fit your chest, upper and lower body comfortably. This harness is ideal for use on scaffolds because it features a back dorsal anchor point. This means you can work and move your arms freely without your lanyard getting in the way.

In the past, SafetyLiftinGear has helped a variety of different people and organisations to transport and relocate many different things such as this Dunkirk Little Ship, way back in January of this year.
This trend doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon either, with the latest news that we'd like to bring you of how we helped to relocate a male forest elephant in the Ivory Coast!
Wildlife veterinarian Dr Richard Harvey (http://www.izvg.co.uk/) was asked to assist the Ivory Coast Ministry of Water and Forests to transport a male forest elephant named Hamed.
Hamed was relocated from a small village in the south of the Ivory Coast to N'Zi River Lodge Reserve due to him being a little out of control and causing damage to a number of things, including heavy machinery, vehicles and people's homes!
The situation was getting out of hand and raised concerns for both Hamed and the local population. As a result, Hamed was required to be moved to a safer environment where he could no longer cause harm to others or himself. But, as you can imagine, to move a fully-grown elephant you require specialised equipment. That's where we come in.
To make the transportation of Hamed as safe and effective as possible, we supplied Dr Harvey with a selection of our strong, reliable webbing and round slings. These were used to secure and lift Hamed safely onto a trailer where he was transported to his new home.
Take a look at the images of the lift below:
If our round and webbing slings are good enough to help lift an African male elephant, they'll be more than suitable for your lifting applications! All our lifting slings are made with the finest of materials to ensure a safe, effective and reliable lift. They are extremely tough yet lightweight and offer incredible flexibility that minimises shock during the lift.

Warehouses and factories can be very dangerous places to work, so keeping your staff safe should be at the top of your priority list. Pallet trucks are often used to transport pallets of heavy and fragile goods around. Being able to stop a pallet truck quickly can be very beneficial, especially if there are forklifts or other members of staff moving around the workplace.
As you know, we offer a wide range of pallet trucks here at SafetyLiftinGear including manual pallet trucks like this 2.5-tonne pallet truck from LoadSurfer, and battery-powered pallet trucks like this 1500 kg 'Edge' fully-electric battery pallet truck from Batt Truck. But today, we're introducing you to one of our pallet trucks that features a built-in brake.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a pallet truck with a brake is that you'll have much better control of it on slopes and ramps. This is particularly important if you're moving heavy goods, the weight on the truck could cause a serious accident!
Some other advantages of choosing a pallet truck with a brake are as follows:
The pallet truck you see above is a revolutionary pallet truck model that's fitted with a break for maximum safety and control. It features a 3 position control handle, wheels and rollers that are coated in durable polyurethane and a high-quality hydraulic pump unit.
