When it comes to purchasing lifting equipment it is tempting to purchase second hand lifting gear to help cut your company costs. While it is understandable why many companies would chose to invest in second hand lifting equipment because it is a lot cheaper than buying brand new equipment, it is not something that we at SafetyLiftinGear recommend.

Even though there is a great deal of reputable second hand lifting equipment dealers out there, there are also a lot of deals who handle substandard equipment. This could mean that you may end up with some untested, unsuitable and above all else, unsafe lifting equipment. This could end up causing damage to machinery or fatal injuries if the equipment fails.  

Here at SafetyLiftinGear we strongly recommend you either buy brand new lifting equipment or hire your lifting gear from a reputable company:

  • Hiring your lifting equipment can save you a lot of money.  We know that purchasing lifting equipment can become very expensive. Hiring equipment gives companies the opportunity to obtain a new piece of equipment for a fraction of the cost.

  • When you hire lifting equipment from SafetyLifinGear you can be confident that the history of the item has been regulated. All of our items have been maintained to the highest standards, and if the equipment is damaged, or too old, we will remove it from our stock. Hiring our equipment will help you avoid situations where you find out that the second hand piece of equipment you have purchased is unusable because it has been poorly maintained.   

  • If you are looking to replace a piece of lifting equipment buying new equipment could end up saying you money in the long term There is nothing worse purchasing an expensive second hand piece of equipment for it to fail on its third or fourth use, leading you to pay out yet again. You can avoid this extra cost by purchasing your equipment first hand. Sure, it might cost you a little more, but you have the benefit of the equipment lasting years, not months.  

  • When purchasing second hand lifting gear you cannot be certain of its condition. It could look fine on the surface, but there may be something wrong with it that you don’t stop, or doesn't become noticeable until you are using it, by which time it’s too late!  All of our products come tested and certified,  so you can be confident that our lifting equipment will be safe and ready to use when you get it delivered to your site, warehouse or factory.

  • Finally, with many second hand products you will not get a warranty, or if you do it will be for a month. This is not long enough to test the equipment, if you are not using it regularly. So, if you do run into a problem when using it, you often cannot return it, and will have to purchase a new piece of equipment as replacement. When purchasing your items first hand from SafetyLiftinGear we offer a 2 years warranty on most of our products as standard. So if you do encounter an issue you can be confident in the knowledge that we will maintain and replace your items.

If you are work at height, it is important to not only use personal fall protection equipment such as safety harnesses and fall arrest blocks. It is equally as important to ensure that your tools are also protected from being dropped or falling from height.

If you accidently drop your tools whilst working at height you could potentially damage any equipment that is on the ground below, cause an accident, or cause a fatal injury. Tool lanyard attaches onto your person at one end, either around your waist, wrist or onto your safety harness, and secure your tool at the other.  By using this simple safety measure you minimise the risk of causing a serious accident.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear we stock a fully comprehensive range of tool lanyards, no matter your requirements, we are certain we have a lanyard that suits your need. Click here to view our full range of Tool Lanyards.

In the unlikely event you cant find the exact lanyard you require, please contact our customer service team on 0808 123 6969 or email sales@safetyliftingear.com
