At SafetyLiftinGear we always aim to offer a lifting solution to match all of our customer's requirements, which is exactly why we continue to expand our range of products. This time we have added products to our popular range of hydraulic cylinders, now our product range is suitable for those looking to lift 150 tonnes and 200 tonnes.
Previously we only stocked hydraulic cylinders that were capable of moving 100 tonne weights, which is why we are so pleased to add even more specialist products for high capacity lifting/jacking.
Our hydraulic cylinders are helpful in a range of industrial applications. Whether you need to push, pull or lift, our hydraulic cylinders are capable of the job. Their durable design allows them to be used day after day and always perform perfectly. To see our new, heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, see the links below:
150 tonne x 100mm Hydraulic Cylinder
150 tonne x 150mm Hydraulic Cylinder
200 tonne x 100mm Hydraulic Cylinder
200 tonne x 150mm Hydraulic Cylinder
Heavy-duty hydraulic hand pump
We also supply a range of manual hand pumps to operate the cylinders. We had to expand this collection too to accommodate our new hydraulic cylinder range. Our hydraulic hand pumps have a large release valve handle for controlling lead decent and 2 speeds so they can be used for high and low-pressure projects. This hand pump is compatible with the hydraulic cylinders above!
If you can't seem to find the combination of products you need for your lifting project than you always talk to us about your requirements. If you're wondering what other hydraulic cylinders we offer you can read our blog post here. If you ever need to ask our expert advice about lifting equipment, you can contact us here today.
If you work at height, you'll know that safety is a top priority. Working at height is the leading cause of injuries and fatalities in the construction industry, and this is no surprise with workers commonly working on rooftops, ladders, and fragile surfaces.
The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) have working at height regulations that must be adhered to for safety when working at height. These regulations are not only to help individuals understand what they can do to help protect themselves, but also to alert employers to the responsibilities they have for their employees.
This working at height guide should help explain the official UK working at height regulations and responsibilities, whether you're an employer looking to take the necessary steps or an employee who wants to know their rights are being followed.
There are a number of regulations that apply to working at height, many of which concern how an employer is responsible (to a reasonable extent) for their employee's safety when working at height.
Employers who are planning the work must be sure to:
Of course, employers can't control everything - there is a level of responsibility the employee has to ensure their own safety. For that reason, employees must ensure that:
Regulations state that a risk assessment must be carried out before any working at height takes place. This a full examination of the factors that could cause harm in the workplace so that the correct precautions can be carried out.
A competent working at height risk assessment will involve:
It is illegal to work at height until a risk assessment has been carried out. It is only following this assessment that an employer can review and update how they have taken steps to minimise or reduce these risks.
Even if you have taken all the necessary precautions that are legally required and have adhered to all working at height regulations, it's impossible to account for every possibility. This is why it is so important that a working at height rescue plan is in place in case of an accident or injury.
If you are creating a working at height rescue plan you must consider:
There is a wide range of equipment that can help prevent an individual from getting injured whilst working at height. We make it our business to supply the equipment that is needed in this working condition. Take a look at our full range of working at height safety equipment, or see our list below of vital equipment we recommend you think about when preparing your team to work at height:

We've had some bitterly cold weather in the UK this week - the Met Office have issued amber weather warnings in several parts of the country, and many people's travel plans have been massively disrupted by the snow.
Today, we'd like to announce a rather timely addition to our product range: snow plough attachments for forklift trucks!
These sturdy galvanised blades can be mounted on the forks of your truck and used to move snow out of the way. This attachment is ideal for those who don't have access to a real snow plough and don't wish to shovel the snow themselves - it's great for clearing car parks, access roads, and any other site where snow could present an inconvenience during a cold snap.
Our plough attachment is available in 3 different blade sizes:
The plough attachments are available to buy or hire - click here to browse all options.
