SafetyLiftinGear's Man Basket in Use

mike products

Mostostal Pulway - a large Polish construction company - recently acquired a SafetyLiftinGear man basket to use on their latest construction site. They were really impressed with the quality of the man basket, and they are so happy with the service they were supplied, they've already placed a second order with us for some lifting equipment.

This man basket has been designed with safety in mind - boasting overhead protection, a 150mm solid wall surround, an internal hand rail and a close mesh rear. It's a very versatile piece of site equipment as it can be used with either a forklift or a crane. It's truly the number one choice for contractors who are looking for easy, efficient and safe high level access.

SafetyLiftinGear Equipment Used to Construct New Railway Line in Manchester

mike products

Network Rail - the company responsible for the infrastructure of Britain's railways - have recently been constructing a brand new rail line in Manchester. The new viaduct will connect two of the city's largest stations (Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria) for the first time, significantly increasing capacity and reducing journey times into and through the centre of Manchester.

We are pleased to say that Network Rail and their contractors chose to use SafetyLiftinGear's lifting equipment for this project. Our wire rope slings (77mm diameter, 8m & 9m length, 85 tonne SWL) have played an important part in the construction of the new line, as have our 85T Alloy Bow Shackles.

We wish Network Rail and everyone involved in this construction project all the best, and we hope that the people of Manchester will find the new line to be a great convenience.

Lifting Magnets - Safe & Flexible Solutions For On-Site Lifting

mike products

If you're looking for a safe and versatile lifting solution that will help to improve working efficiency, then a lifting magnet could be the ideal choice for your operation. Unlike other lifting attachments, lifting magnets have a simple securing and attachment process, which means that the lifting application can be initiated quickly, with half the hassle of other lifting solutions. This reduction in attachment processes also means that operation becomes safer for workers, while reducing the chance of causing unnecessary damage to the item being lifted.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we have a great selection of magnetic lifting devices, with options to suit a variety of lifting demands. Our range of permanent lifting magnets are an ideal choice for magnetic materials of 2000kg and under, without the need for any additional power. Thanks to the compact design of these lifting magnets, they are incredibly easy to transport, making them a flexible and reliable choice for a on-site lifting.

The most highly-capable of our lifting magnets is the 2000kg model, which can be bought or hired here, with a 2 year warranty for additional reliability.

In addition to permanent lifting magnets, which can be used with magnetic materials such as iron blocks or cylinder components, we also supply vacuum slab lifters, which provide powerful, cordless suction for stone lifting. These lifters are ideal for laying large stone slabs, and other concrete elements, and are also compatible with a number of lifting devices, for added versatility. Thanks to the rechargeable battery, which has the ability to last for an entire working day, this device is also ideal for on-site lifting, in a range of environments.

#BLOODHOUNDisGo: SafetyLiftinGear Beam Used to Lift Supersonic Car

Admin general news

As an official partner of The BLOODHOUND Project, we at SafetyLiftinGear have been watching the progress of this undertaking with feverish enthusiasm since day one. It's been amazing to see the BLOODHOUND car - a record-breaker in the making - gradually coming together, and we were very excited to learn that the team had finally set a date for their creation's record attempt. We will hopefully see BLOODHOUND break the world land speed record (which currently stands at just over 763mph) in October 2017 - that's just over a year from now!

There was even more excitement to be had here in the SLG office when photos emerged (on @BLOODHOUND_SSC's official Twitter page) of a SafetyLiftinGear beam being use to lift the monstrous supercar from its hubs.

It's great to see our products forming part of such an amazing project, and we can't wait for the record attempt in October '17 - we wish the BLOODHOUND team every success!
