We’ve recently added a brand-new range of corrosion-resistant chain hoists to our site that we’re sure will appeal to those of you who are looking for a lifting solution that is suitable for use in harsh environments! Unlike your standard chain hoists, these corrosion resistant chain hoists have a protective coating that means they can be used in conditions where other materials would corrode quickly!
These corrosion resistant chain blocks feature a stainless-steel hand and load chain making them incredibly durable. This particular type of chain block is ideal for use in confined areas because it features a unique 360° rotating hand chain guide, making all of your lifting jobs incredibly easy regardless of the conditions you’re working in! They are available in a range of different weight capacities and chain lengths to suit your needs.
Take a look at our Corrosion Resistant Chain Hoist range here:

Much like the chain blocks, these trolley hoists come in a variety of different weight capacities from 500kg to 1250kg and they have the same revolutionary 360° hand chain guide. These trolley hoists are available with an integral push trolley or an integrally geared trolley, depending on your preference.

All of our corrosion resistant chain hoists are fully tested and certified, so you can purchase them with confidence.

A scaffolding company located in Dorset has been sentenced after a 49-year old worker fell victim to serious, life-changing injuries as a result of falling five metres through a skylight whilst working.
Paul Norris was working for Solar Scaffold Services Limited, who were contacted to erect an access tower and guard rails on the roof perimeter of industrial units in Christchurch during April 2017. On completion of the work on the access tower, Mr Norris proceeded to assist his co-workers with work on the guard rails, gaining access via the roof. As he was doing this, Mr Norris fell through a skylight which was approximately five metres above the floor and suffered a number of serious injuries to his arm, elbow, wrists, ribs and pelvis as a result.
Following the injuries, Mr Norris remained in the hospital for three weeks, undergoing several operations with much physiotherapy still required. This has resulted in him being registered disabled, forced to move into an adapted flat, the inability to return to work and his wife having to give up work in order to provide full-time care.
Following an investigation conducted by the HSE, it was found that the employer Solar Scaffold Services Limited, failed in their duty to provide adequate safety measures, through poor planning, supervision and execution. Insufficient measures were taken to prevent the fall whilst work was carried out on the fragile roof.
This has resulted in Solar Scaffold Services Limited pleading guilty to breaching Regulation 4(1) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and being fined £10,000 and ordered to pay costs of more than £3,000.
HSE Inspector Caroline Penwill stated after the hearing that "falls from height remain one of the most common causes of work-related fatalities and injuries in this country. This serious incident could have been avoided if the work had been properly planned to reduce risk."
