If you work on scaffolding, a scaffold hoist can be extremely helpful and when it comes to lifting your tools and other materials. Using a hoist to raise and lower the items in question can save a lot of time and energy, and SafetyLiftinGear's remote controlled scaffold hoist is particularly effective in this respect.
This 110 volt hoist has a reach of 25 metres and a maximum capacity of 200kg, making it ideal for moving toolboxes, mortar, and other common items. Since it's remote-controlled, you can activate the hoist from anywhere within a 100 metre range, saving you the hassle of going back and forth every time you need to hoist something.
Here are some more useful facts and figures:
The remote-controlled hoist comes with a lifting arm and two scaffold brackets for easy attachment. The radio control is extremely sturdy, and it has an emergency stop button that allows you to quickly halt the hoist's movement if necessary.
This deluxe scaffold hoist is perfect for a wide array of purposes in world of construction. It is currently available at the discounted price of £1,169.82* (including VAT) - click here to order yours!

Summer has well and truly arrived, and you know what that means: festival season! Countless massive music festivals will be taking place throughout the UK over the next three months or so, and if you're planning to attend any of these events, we at SafetyLiftinGear have the perfect accessory for you:
Strapping young lads not included.
Our garden carts are designed for use on farms and construction sites, but they're equally well-suited to the grassy terrain on which most festivals take place. These heavy-duty (yet reasonably priced) carts are ideal for:
Be warned, though: we sell a lot of garden carts at this time of year, so you'll have to be quick if you want to get your hands on a cart of your own! We've already sold dozens of carts to people headed for Glastonbury and Download, and we're expecting to sell plenty more before long. Don't miss out!
Which do YOU have tickets for?
We never shy away from a high-profile project here at SafetyLiftinGear, and this one's a humdinger. Our lifting equipment is currently being used in the ongoing expansion of Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, which will see the stadium's seating capacity increased to approximately 61,000.
Once completed, this gargantuan project will see the Etihad overtake Arenal's Emirates Stadium to become the 2nd largest ground in the Premier League (Manchester City's local rivals Man United have the #1 spot; Old Trafford has a capacity of more than 75,000). According to mcfc.co.uk, Man City's official website, the aim of the expansion is to "ensure everyone can enjoy watching the Boys in Blue score goals", and additional tickets will be available from the start of the 2015/16 season in August.
Here's what SafetyLiftinGear have provided for this ambitious infrastructure project:
We are very excited about this project and wish Man City all the best in the 2015/16 season!

When presented with a heavy load, you may occasionally be tempted to just lift it on your own, rather than calling for help or using the proper lifting equipment. You're pretty strong, and after all, you're only carrying it a short distance - what could go wrong?
Well...a lot of things, actually. Heavy lifting is serious business, and you can really hurt yourself if you don't do it in the right way. Here are some of the risks you run when you lift a heavy load without the proper assistance and/or equipment...
