We were recently presented with the task of designing and installing permanent access systems on the underside of Hastings Pier.
The pier suffered extensive fire damage in October 2010, destroying an estimated 95% of the superstructure. The Hastings Pier Charity was formed shortly afterwards, and funding was secured from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which enabled restoration work to commence in January 2014.
Due to the nature of this project, no steel sections were able to be drilled, so we at SafetyLiftinGear had to design and fabricate bespoke stainless steel brackets for the mounting of our permanent horizontal safety lines.
The safety lines will provide over 170 metres of safe access for engineers when completing future maintenance and inspections along the underside of the pier.
This project is yet another example of SLG's ability to provide a bespoke solution for any brief. Visit our Height Safety department or contact us now to get what you need for your project.
We were recently asked to provide some specialist glass lifting equipment to a customer near London. They needed to lift several large glass panels into position, and so they came to SafetyLiftinGear to see what we could do for them.
Now, we have a large range of products in our Lifting Equipment department, but some projects call for something unique. This was one such occasion, and so the staff at our East London depot designed and manufactured for our client a bespoke 500kg cantilever lifting beam that would meet the requirements of this particular brief.
All of this equipment was supplied by SafetyLiftinGear (except for the glass sucker).
In addition to the cantilever, we also supplied a complete equipment package that included lifting chains and shackles to assist with the job.
As all of this demonstrates, we don't just sell lifting equipment here at SafetyLiftinGear - we provide a comprehensive service that's individually tailored to each and every customer. Browse our Lifting section now, or contact us to discuss your specific requirement. No matter what you need, we will provide it!
Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we aim to meet the needs of every single customer - and, with a customer base as diverse as ours, that gives us a colossal variety of different needs to meet! We understand that everybody's requirements are different, and we pride ourselves on stocking a truly comprehensive collection of lifting equipment, offering a suitable solution for any situation.
Our electric hoist range is a great example. We supply many different types of hoist to cover the vast majority of weights and loads, but one thing that almost all of our electric hoist products have in common is the fact that they need to be plugged in.
However, there is an exception. Our battery powered chain hoist is specifically design for use in areas where mains electricity is unavailable; its batteries (included) are rechargeable, and it can lift its full capacity for 25 minutes on one charge.
We have two battery powered hoists to choose from:
These hoists are portable, lightweight, and suitable for a wide range of loads. When you purchase your chain hoist from the SafetyLiftinGear website, please ensure that the product you have selected is suitable for the weights you intend to lift.
Vertikal Days, the UK's #1 industry event for lifting and access specialists, will be taking place in Merseyside next week (13th & 14th of May).
