Here at SafetyLiftinGear we are continually looking to provide you with the best quality safety equipment. This means that we are regularly adding new products to our stock. A more recent addition to SafetyLiftinGear’s lifting equipment is our range of specialist lightweight, portable, aluminium gantry cranes.
Our gantry cranes are available with lifting capacities of 0.5 tonne, 1 tonne, 2 tonne, 2.5 tonne, and 3 tonnes. All of our Easy Rig portable gantry's are quick and easy to dismantle, and break down to 2 A frames and a beam, for easy storage and transportation.
If you are working in a confined space, and you find that your beam is a little short, don’t worry! All of our easy rig beams are interchangeable, we provide 3mtr, 4mtr, 5mtr and 6mtr beams. However, if you are changing the length of the beam on your gantry, please be aware of new Working load limit!
The Easy-Rig Gantry features an external trolley which you can attach chain blocks, lever hoists, electric hoists and lifting winches too, securely. These trolleys comprises of 2 poly-amide wheels, so the trolley runs smoothly across the beam. They also feature a screw locking device, so you can be confident that when you are lifting your loads it will be in a safe, secured manner.
SafetyLiftinGear’s aluminium gantry’s offer a more practical solution to the larger fixed famed gantries we often see in work yards. They are ideal when your work requires you to lift loads from confined spaces, for example lift shafts, of if you are setting up an art installation or a rigging a stage for a performance.

Undoubtedly, the BLOODHOUND SSC is one of the most complex cars created. It states on their websites, that when the car is completed it will comprise of over 3,500 parts, many of which have been designed specifically for the BLOODHOUND SSC, including unique engines designed by Jaguar and Bristol’s own Rolls-Royce.
Inside the BLOODHOUND SSC you will find a EUROJET EJ200 jet engine which will supply the car with only half of its thrust! A Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) in the form of a Jaguar Supercharged V8 Engine. This will be used to supply 800 litres of high test peroxide to the rocket in just 20 seconds! And finally, the rocket engine, to accelerate the car to 1000 mph the rocket engine combined with the jet engine will provide a thrust of 212kN.
If you would like to go and see the car for yourself, The BLOODHOUND project are currently accepting bookings for their Rocket car experience workshops held during the Easter holidays, making a fun and education day for your children. Click here to read more.
It is a truly amazing project, one which we at SafetyLiftinGear are proud to help by providing lifting and material handling equipment.
When it comes to purchasing lifting equipment it is tempting to purchase second hand lifting gear to help cut your company costs. While it is understandable why many companies would chose to invest in second hand lifting equipment because it is a lot cheaper than buying brand new equipment, it is not something that we at SafetyLiftinGear recommend.
Even though there is a great deal of reputable second hand lifting equipment dealers out there, there are also a lot of deals who handle substandard equipment. This could mean that you may end up with some untested, unsuitable and above all else, unsafe lifting equipment. This could end up causing damage to machinery or fatal injuries if the equipment fails.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear we strongly recommend you either buy brand new lifting equipment or hire your lifting gear from a reputable company:
