These heavy-duty goods carrying cages are designed to make transporting un-palletised products easy. Give them a go and we guarantee they'll revolutionise the way you move goods around your workplace or warehouse!

Simply load your items into the secure cage and use either the four lifting lugs or four pockets to attach your cage to a crane or forklift. Once safely on board, you can move your load to the desired location with ease!

Depending on your needs, these cages come in two capacities:

For added convenience, we offer a cage with an additional ramp to make loading and offloading goods even easier!

If you only need a carrying cage for a quick or one-off job, then you can hire one (rather than purchasing). Simply fill in our hire enquiry form and we'll be in touch with a quote for your job.

A few safety tips:

  • Before loading the cage make sure it is on a firm, level surface.
  • Only lift or lower the load when the load is safely on board. 
  • Make sure the crane chains are connected properly or that the cage is properly mounted on your forklift before moving.

A construction firm has been fined after a 17-year-old worker fell through a skylight opening and suffered life-changing injuries. On 20 August 2018, the young worker fell through an insulation sheet covering a skylight while walking across an unmarked area on the construction site in Gloucester. He suffered multiple broken bones, which needed two operations to treat. His doctors advised him that it was unlikely he would be able to work in construction ever again. A potential career in construction was cut short by the neglect of another reckless employer.

Glass Skylight

HSE Findings

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) found that the employee was not supervised properly and was not warned about the risks on site. According to reports, there were no warnings in place about the hole in the roof, and no workers on site had been told about it. No further physical barriers were in place, either - any of these measures could have prevented this tragic accident.

The company failed to take the necessary precautions for working at height, and further investigation showed continued failures to properly and adequately plan constructions at that height (even after the incident in question). The Mark Holland Group pleaded guilty to breaching health and safety regulations and were fined £55,620.

HSE inspectors highlighted how this accident could have been avoided with simple safety precautions, such as the correct height safety equipment.

 

Working at Height

It's essential for employers to take adequate fall protection measures and follow the health and safety regulations at all times. These safety guidelines are there to help employers comply with the law and prevent death and serious injury.

Employers should aim to carry out work on the ground where possible, or utilise scaffolding or mobile platforms that allow easy and safe access. Failing that, use fall protection equipment to restrain workers in the event of a fall and minimise the distance the individual falls to minimise the potential injury.

Read our blog about choosing the best fall protection equipment for your job.

We hope that employers see stories like this one and make more of an effort to prioritise health and safety to prevent further accidents.

How to Check a Safety Harness Before Use - safety harness inspection guide

There have been many instances all over the world of experienced workers falling to their deaths or becoming severely injured as a result of faulty safety equipment. No matter how experienced you think you are when it comes to working at height, it is crucial for both the safety of yourself and those around you that you thoroughly inspect your safety harness and equipment before use.

To help you out, this blog will explain how to inspect a safety harness step-by-step! Let’s get started.

 

Pre-Use Checks

There are several different types of safety harness inspection, all of which are essential in their own way.

A quick, visual and tactile check known as a ‘pre-use check’ should be performed by the user before each and every use of a safety harness. The key components of a pre-use safety harness inspection include:

  • Label: You will need to verify that the labels and inspection tags are present and legible and that the harness is within its service life.

  • Webbing: Run your hands along the webbing to feel for any signs of damage like cuts, abrasions, burns, chemical damage or excessive fading and discolouration.

  • D-Rings: Inspect for rust and distortion.

  • Buckles: Ensure that the buckles and all other hardware are not cracked, bent or corroded. Operate all buckles to ensure they function properly and lock securely.

  • Straps: Hold the harness by the dorsal D-ring, shake it to untangle, and inspect all straps for fraying, loose stitching and broken fibres.

  • Shock Absorber: Examine for signs of deployment, cuts or damage.

If you spot any of these signs of damage, the harness must be removed from service immediately, tagged “Do Not Use” and reported to a supervisor.

 

Detailed Inspections

A detailed, formal inspection should be carried out by a trained, competent person every 6 months at a minimum to confirm that the equipment is safe and meets regulatory standards. These detailed inspections should be systematic, in-depth and documented, with mandatory written reports of any findings and defects. Due to the in-depth nature of these checks, they often involve testing and disassembly.

If a harness is subjected to heavy use or is often used in harsh conditions, a detailed inspection should be conducted every 3 months.

By following the safety harness inspection steps above, you will no doubt reduce the likelihood of accidents occurring when working at height.

 

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we strive to make working conditions as safe as possible by providing the highest quality safety equipment available. If you work at height often and require new, quality equipment that will ensure your safety, then why not check out our collection of safety harnesses?
