Tractel automatic lifting hook

These auto release hooks are ideal for lifting loads that might be inaccessible.

Not all loads can be accessed easily. A crane operator could be lifting loads into or out of an environment that's inhospitable or hard to reach, making it impossible for their colleagues to manually attach and release the load. So how does the crane pick them up? Auto release hooks are the perfect solution.

Warehouse lifting equipment

Warehouse lifting equipment is a vital part of day-to-day operations in a warehouse environment.

Warehouses are typically used to store raw materials, goods and machinery. Bulky items are commonplace, so heavy lifting is often par for the course. This means that high-quality lifting and handling equipment is a must!

Types of Warehouse Lifting Equipment

When it comes to lifting heavy goods in a warehouse environment, there are a wide variety of solutions to choose from - though naturally the right tool for the job will depend on the nature of the job that needs doing.

Here are some of the warehouse lifting and handling products we offer here at SafetyLiftinGear:

Warehouse pallet truck

Pallet Trucks

An absolute staple of any warehouse, the pallet truck has been indispensable ever since its invention way back in 1947. For context, back in 1947, Clement Attlee was Prime Minister and Britain was still in post-war recovery mode.

The fact that this piece of equipment is still top dog today proves its staying power and shows that it's unlikely to be going anywhere anytime soon. All the more reason to make sure you have one in your warehouse!

When it comes to purchasing a pallet truck, there are a few things to keep in mind. The humble pallet truck has evolved significantly over the last three quarters of a century and now comes in a variety of forms, including:

  • Heavy Duty Pallet Trucks - Designed for lifting a range of pallets, from small loads to very heavy cargo, the standard pallet truck is a great all-rounder for warehouse use. We also offer a range of variations, such as stainless steel pallet trucks for humid conditions and long fork trucks for extra-long loads.

  • Weighing Scale Pallet Trucks - These pallet trucks come with built-in weighing scales, allowing you to accurately record the weight of the load you are moving.

  • Battery Pallet Trucks - With a built-in chargeable lithium battery, these manual handling machines provide battery-powered pallet lifting for hassle-free lifts with unrestricted movement.

  • Electric Pallet Trucks - Electric pallet trucks offer easy manoeuvring for low-duty applications, cutting out the unnecessary hassle and headaches associated with manual material handling.

  • High Lift Pallet Trucks - Extremely useful in warehouses with high-rise storage, these versatile pallet movers allow you to lift and lower to / from heights that would otherwise be unreachable with a traditional pallet mover.

Material lifter

Material Lifts

Also known as 'walkie stackers', material lifts are a common sight in warehouses due to the simple fact that they are highly effective for the task at hand. Capable of lifting heavy loads to impressive heights, these lifters are great for loading and unloading HGVs, as well as for standard warehouse use.

Material lifts come in hand-winch form as well as the more popular battery / electric powered models. They can also be supplied with a variety of different load bases, typically available as a fork / platform or a hook for hoisting.

Platform table

Platform Tables

Another popular piece of equipment for warehouse workers is the platform table. Often referred to as hydraulic tables or scissor lifts, this versatile product is essentially an adjustable platform, raised to a height of your choosing for easy access to places that are typically inaccessible for heavy items. This heavy-duty apparatus is usually manually powered by a foot pedal.

Loadlifter for roll cages

Fork-Mounted Loadlifter

The fork-mounted loadlifter is the perfect tool for warehouses that deal with items such as heavy roll cages, e.g. those associated with supermarket chains. The loadlifter is specifically designed to provide easy access to a range of articulated vehicles, enabling simple and safe loading / unloading for delivery and transportation purposes.

Lifting clamp with beam

We stock a wide range of lifting clamps here at SafetyLiftinGear; however, it's important to note that not all lifting clamps play the same role.

In fact, certain clamps are simply not suitable for some jobs, while others are tailor-made with a specific function in mind.

To help you get your head around the specifics, we've compiled this short list to help you get a firm grasp of the different types of lifting clamps we offer.

Beam clamp

Beam Clamps

Incredibly robust and versatile, these hard-wearing lifting clamps are more than capable of pulling their weight...and much more! With a maximum capacity of up 10 tonnes (check the specifications of your chosen product before purchasing), our beam clamps offer a reliable lifting solution that won't buckle under the pressure.

Plate clamp

Plate Clamps

Specifically designed for use with heavy steel plates, our plate lifting clamps provide a safe and secure method of lifting heavy metal sheets.

Heavy-duty plate lifting clamps come in three different categories:

  • Vertical Plate Clamps - Equipped with hardened steel jaws, our vertical plate clamps effectively lift steel plates from a horizontal position into a vertical position. We currently offer a variety of sizes, with weight limits ranging from 0.5 tonnes up to 5 tonnes.

  • Horizontal Plate Clamps - Supplied in pairs, these twin clamps allow you to lift steel plates while maintaining a horizontal position (when used with a 2 leg chain sling). Our horizontal clamps are currently available in 1.5 tone, 3 tonne and 5 tonne models.

  • Multi-Directional Clamps - While most lifting clamps are either vertical or horizontal, we also offer multi-directional clamps that cover both options. These include two suspension holes for either vertical or horizontal suspension.

Lifting Grabs, Lugs and Hooks

Certain lifting jobs may require the use of additional equipment to modify your lifting mechanism.

Block grabs, container lugs and pipe hooks can enable you to lift unconventional heavy-duty items that are otherwise awkward to manoeuvre.

 

Specialist Lifting Clamps

In addition to the products listed above, there are also a wide variety of specialist clamps created with one singular purpose in mind:

Ideal for non-metal objects, such as plasterboard, stone and wood. Commonly used in the construction industry.

Specialist clamp used for lifting oil and chemical drums, as well as other drum-shaped objects.

As the name suggests, this is a specialist clamp used for kerbstones.

These clamps are specifically designed to raise, transport and lay manhole covers.

Equipped with rope and shackles for easy release, these products provide a great solution for those looking to remove steel piling from the ground.

Designed for manoeuvring metal, concrete and plastic piping into position.

Unlike the other clamps in this section, pulling clamps are intended to position heavy loads prior to industrial application.

Ideal for the rail industry, these specialist clamps are used for lifting and positioning railway track into place.
