Here at SafetyLiftinGear.com, we stock a wide variety of scaffold hoists and scaffold hoist accessories to give you the best choice on the lifting gear market.
In keeping with that theme, we’ve added a few new additions to our solid selection of scaffold hoist goodies, with four new products to lift your spirits as well as your lofty loads.
Read on for the complete low-down on these high-quality hoist accessories.
Raise your game with these new additions to the scaffold hoist accessories range:
Specifically designed for building materials, this steel lifting basket is perfect for construction jobs and site work.
With solid mesh sides for transparent visibility as well as product stability, the basket also comes adorned in bright orange paint for enhanced prominence and an eye-catching appearance.
With an overhead crane lifting point built-in, this reinforced lifting basket is capable of hoisting up to 250kg – roughly the weight of three and a half beer kegs.
Whether you’re lifting bricks or beer, rest assured that this basket won’t let you down.
The pride and joy of Italian hardware experts, Imer, the Liftable Wheelbarrow does exactly what it says on the tin, offering mobility and lifting capabilities all in one barrow.
Despite weighing less than 20kg, this heavy-duty wheelbarrow is capable of holding up to 10x its own weight, with a maximum capacity of 200kg in the polymer tray.
For freedom of movement and structural reliability, the Imer Liftable Wheelbarrow is the perfect product to lift your spirits for the long haul.
Also newly added, our Wheelbarrow Lifting Chains provide a sturdy and reliable lifting attachment to be used with liftable wheelbarrows.
This three-legged chain sling includes two rings for the handles and a pigtail hook for the front for three-point stability of the load.
Speaking of pigs, this simple attachment is capable of withstanding 250kg of weight (coincidentally the average weight of a pig).
While we don’t recommend using this product to hoist hefty hogs, these 1-metre lifting chains are the perfect accompanying product to a liftable wheelbarrow.
Another Italian import, this time from the mighty Boscaro company, this lofty tipping bucket is as simple to operate as it is to tip, with a simplistic tipping mechanism for easy discharge.
Made from the highest quality materials, the Hoist Tipping Bucket is ideal for use with a variety of lifting hoists, including scaffold hoists, with a max capacity of 60 litres/132kg.
While it is slightly less capable than the two options above in terms of load bearing capabilities, it makes up for it in simplicity and price, making it a great economical option for basic lifting.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we aim to meet the needs of every single customer - and, with a customer base as diverse as ours, that gives us a colossal variety of different needs to meet! We understand that everybody's requirements are different, and we pride ourselves on stocking a truly comprehensive collection of lifting equipment, offering a suitable solution for any situation. In this blog, we talk about the different battery powered hoists we stock and some of their benefits.
We supply many different types of hoists to cover the vast majority of weights and loads, but one thing that almost all of our electric hoist products have in common is the fact that they need to be plugged in, which can be frustrating if you need to carry out lifting work away from a power source.
There is an exception. Our battery powered chain hoist is specifically designed for use in areas where mains electricity is unavailable; its batteries (which are included) are rechargeable, and it can lift its full capacity for 25 minutes on one charge.
We have two battery-powered hoists to choose from, capable of lifting different load weights:
250kg Battery Powered Hoist
500kg Battery Powered Hoist
These hoists are portable and suitable for a wide range of loads. When you purchase your chain hoist from the SafetyLiftinGear website, please ensure that the product you have selected is suitable for the weights you intend to lift. Give us a call on 0117 9381 600 if you have any questions about these battery powered hoists, a member of our team will be happy to help you.
Some people use the words 'winch' and 'hoist' interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two, and it's important to understand that difference before you decide which product to use for a certain job.
The basic difference is as follows:
Winches are designed to pull loads horizontally across a relatively level surface, whereas hoists can be used to lift loads vertically and suspend them in mid-air.
Important: If you're pulling a load up a steep slope - where the load would descend the slope due to gravity if unsupported - this is classified as a lifting operation and requires the use of a hoist, not a winch.
Generally speaking, no. It is not safe to use a standard winch to lift loads up off the ground, as it wasn't designed for this purpose and there is a risk that the load will be dropped.
One of the key differences between winches and hoists lies in their braking systems.
However, there is some overlap: certain winching products are designed to double up as hoists. For instance, SafetyLiftinGear's Electric Winch (available in 110 volt or 240 volt configurations) can be used as a winch with a pulling capacity of 800kg...or as a hoist with a lifting capacity of 500kg.

Last week, the SafetyLiftinGear team attended the ABTT Theatre Show at Alexandra Palace in London. We think it's safe to say that the event went terrifically well - not only did we meet lots of new clients and interesting people, we actually came away from Alexandra Palace with a new trophy for the SLG cabinet!
Our Duke DCH battery-powered chain hoist was chosen as ABTT's Widget of the Year 2015, which is an award for the most useful product at the show. The trophy we received is pictured above alongside the prize-winning hoist itself (thanks to Meg and Lucy for their modelling skills!)
Here's what the ABTT judges had to say about the Duke DCH:
"The judges were very impressed with this product, and expect to see them in numerous applications and in the hands of many technicians soon, especially considering the budget conscious price tag. The benefits of a lightweight battery-powered motor capable of lifting 250kg or 500kg are huge. This is exactly the type of tool that will help solve many of the problems that working technicians have to deal with daily, offering a safe way to haul without needing large power and control infrastructure."
We were thrilled to receive this award from the Association of British Theatre Technicians, and we hope that everyone else enjoyed this year's show as much as we did!
