Now the colder months have most certainly made an appearance, it's time to think about your cold weather gear. Do you have the right gear to keep you warm as you work?
Working in the cold and wet without appropriate cold weather gear could potentially be dangerous. Trying to work when you cannot feel your face could lead to dropped tools or losing balance while working at a height. In both circumstances, this could be avoided by keeping on top of your body temperature while you work.
Our aim is to keep all workers safe here at SafetyLiftinGear, so we have a wide range of cold weather gear for you to browse. You may be thinking 'but I have my cold weather gear from last year, why would I need more?'. Cold weather gear is built for harsh weather, but this does not mean it won't be damaged by it. We advise you to check your gear, then come back and read about how warm you could be in our range.

A hydraulic press is used in a variety of different operations across many different working environments. Some common uses for a hydraulic press including forging, clinching, punching, manufacturing, and compacting.
Today we will be looking at just a few environments and jobs where a hydraulic press can be used:
One hydraulic press use is to create items such as car parts. From windshield wiper blades to clutches, a hydraulic press can be used to make even the most complex car part. Hydraulic presses are used to shape and assemble many products. This includes a variety of different electrical equipment, not just car parts. Even your thermostat could be made by a hydraulic press!
From compressed foods to powdered makeup, hydraulic presses are used to compact many of your daily items. Even in the medical sector, medicine and tablets are often compressed using a specialised hydraulic press.
You know that big machine that crushes the cars? That's usually a hydraulic press. You will find a large scale hydraulic press in most junkyards because compressing the metal provides more space. The main function of hydraulic presses is to compress metallic products into thin sheets of metal, which is why this equipment works so well in a workplace which deals with mass amounts of metal.
Perhaps not surprisingly, hydraulic presses are even used in blacksmith environments. A hydraulic press can provide the slow and measured hit that is sometimes needed in this line work. For example, metal tubes can be compressed to make different items. Hydraulic presses can be used for a variety of surprising tasks.
If you think a hydraulic press would be ideal for your working environment, we have plenty in stock here at SafetyLiftinGear. Just click here to see our full range of hydraulic presses. Alternatively, if you'd like to get in touch, just give us a call on 0808 123 69 69.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we supply a fantastic range of hydraulic cylinders ready to buy or hire. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you know what a 'hydraulic cylinder' is. As well as supplying useful products, we also want to help you understand them. In this blog post, we will help you understand more about hydraulic cylinders and what they are used for.
Hydraulic cylinders are devices that are used when trying to lift heavy loads safely and easily. The cylinder itself is capped at either end with a rod on one side. Within the interior of the cylinder there is a piston that is attached to the rod seen from the exterior. There is a liquid within the cylinder which, along with the piston, creates pressure which then creates movement.
The pressure itself is created when the fluid within the cylinder is forced to either side, which in turn forces the piston to extend or retract. This is referred to as ‘Pascal’s Principle’ which is the method of creating pressure in a certain way that creates additional pressure in another form that can be of use. The movement the hydraulic cylinder creates is responsible for mechanical force. It is this force that makes the hydraulic cylinder so useful for linear motion.
This linear motion is useful in a wide range of applications, basically anything that may require pushing or lifting. Hydraulic cylinders are often used within construction or manufacturing environments where this lifting and pushing movement is used so frequently.
As with all the products we supply, our hydraulic cylinders are made to the highest quality. They are created to withstand the harsh conditions they are often used within so you can rest assured they will last time after time. All of our cylinders are fully tested and inspected before sale to make sure the chrome-plated ram, internal mechanics, and body of the cylinder are working perfectly.
With working load limits ranging from 10 to 100 tones, we guarantee that you will be able to find something to match your requirements.
If you want any more information about our hydraulic cylinders we are more than happy to help. You can also browse our full range by clicking here. Just give us a call on 0808 123 69 69. Our friendly team is here to advise you about any of the products we supply so do not hesitate to get in touch.
Working in a confined space can put you at a high-risk of workplace accidents. As confined spaces are fully enclosed or partially enclosed, they provide a high-risk of fire, explosions, drowning, asphyxiation, and loss of consciousness.
This is why you need a confined space risk assessment when working in this type of working environment. A confined space risk assessment will ensure your safety in these small and restricted areas.
Here's a look at the types of scenarios you should be prepared for when creating a confined space risk assessment for your workplace.
After completing your confined space risk assessment, it is important to acquire the necessary equipment for the job. A confined space rescue kit is a good place to start with these types of operations.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a full confined space rescue kit which contains:
You can check out the specifications of this confined space rescue kit here. To stay safe in confined spaces make sure to check out our full range of confined space safety equipment here and be sure to complete your confined space risk assessment thoroughly.
It’s important to stay vigilant when working in hazardous environments, and this is particularly important when working in confined spaces. Confined space safety is vital as a confined environment is usually associated with dangerous chemicals and gases, as well as other hazards.
That’s why it’s important to not only have the right equipment but to make sure that equipment is completely reliable. Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we sell high-quality, reliable confined space safety gear that you can rely on time after time. To see our full collection of confined space safety gear, click here.
Here’s a closer look at some of the products we supply:
Confined Space Kits
Whether you need to retrieve something using a tripod/winch combination, or a full-scale rescue kit with an included safety harness, we have something for you. Have a browse through our selection of confined space kits and find the one that is right for your project.
Multi-Gas Detectors
Within a confined space, you’ll want to be aware of any potentially dangerous gases in that area. Our multi-gas detector can detect any H2S, CO, 02, LEL in the atmosphere so that you can evacuate to space if a harmful gas is present.
Safety Barriers
When working in a confined space the last thing you want to worry about is someone accidentally joining you! This not only risks pedestrian's safety but your own so it’s important you have something that lets people know where you are. Our high-visibility safety barriers are perfect to make people aware of the hazard.
If you need any advice on what confined space safety equipment best suits your project then feel free to get in touch. For that, or any query about our products give us a call on 0808 123 69 69.
If you are working in construction we expect that you are fully aware of the importance of construction safety gear. There are a number of hazards that can occur on a construction site, and it’s important to always take the appropriate safety measures to ensure your safety and the safety of everyone around you.
This can be as simple as making sure you are wearing the right construction safety gear. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is worn to give added protection in situations where a health and safety risk may occur. Protective headgear, eye protection, gloves, high visibility clothing and various other products can give you the peace of mind that you have taken the correct safety precautions. At SafetyLiftinGear we supply top-quality PPE to guarantee that you are as protected as possible and that the products you invest in will last.
We have a wide range of PPE, so be sure to browse our full collection when preparing yourself for the construction site.
