Lifting wide, heavy loads requires you to attach a sling to either end of the load enabling you to lift it efficiently. But the problem with this, is that it increases the horizontal forces on the sling because the angles of the sling are less than 90 degrees. These forces add to the weight that's being lifted of the load, so this requires a larger lifting force to lift the load. Spreader Beams are hugely beneficial because it eliminates the amount of horizontal forces applied on slings, allowing you to have a larger lifting force. Spreader Beams are popular with indoor cranes because the beams are built with a single point connection, so they take less crane height to lift due to there being no rigging above the beam. 
Here are Safety Lifting Gear we have an excellent range of Modular Spreader Beams, each with a different working load limit and length in beams. All of our beams are versatile and fully certified, and tested. If you're looking for a strong, cost effective Spreader beam, you've come to the right place!

Big news: the SafetyLiftinGear website has had a makeover! Our design has been updated, which we hope will make it easier for you to find and purchase the equipment you need, but more importantly, SafetyLiftinGear.com is now fully responsive!

This means that our website now 'responds' to the screen on which you're viewing it. If you're using a smartphone, for example, we now look like this:

SLG mobile website

This new functionality should make it significantly easier for mobile and tablet users to browse our range and place orders online. You can still shop in three different currencies (GBP, EUR or AED), and you've still got hundreds of different items to choose from - we've just made it a bit simpler for those viewing the site on small, touch-activated screens.

The other major change is the addition of a 'Hire' option. Most of our gear is now available to hire as well as to buy; this means that, when you're looking at a product on our website, you may well see this underneath the usual 'Add to Basket' button:

SLG hire button

Clicking the 'Hire Me' button will add the product in question to your 'Hire Basket'. This new feature allows you to select as many products as you like for hire, then send an enquiry to the SafetyLifitnGear team, who will respond with a price quotation as quickly as we can.

So what are you waiting for? Click here to return to the SafetyLiftinGear homepage and try our new website for yourself; alternatively, use the following links to navigate to a specific department:

Thanks very much to ecommerce web design specialists Designer Websites for their work on our new and improved site.

SafetyLiftinGear office

We at SafetyLiftinGear have been working in the lifting industry for decades, and this experience has helped us to become one of the leading suppliers of lifting equipment in the UK and beyond. Of course, there are lots of other companies to choose from when you're looking for lifting gear, but we firmly believe that SafetyLiftinGear is the best possible choice.

Here are five reasons why:

1) High Quality
Quality and reliability are crucial factors when it comes to lifting gear. You don't want a hoist or a sling that's going to let you down right in the middle of a job - who knows how much damage that could cause? We manufacture many of our products ourselves, so we can personally vouch for the quality of these items; products that are sourced from other suppliers (such as our Elephant hoists) have been chosen for their renowned, market-leading reliability, so no matter what you purchase from SafetyLiftinGear, you won't be disappointed.

 

2) Value for Money
We don't describe our lifting equipment as 'cheap', but our products do represent excellent value for money. SafetyLiftinGear's prices are as low as can be, and the outstanding average lifespan of our lifting gear ensures that you won't have to spend any additional money on replacements any time soon.

 

3) Buy Online or In Person
We like to be flexible, and so we offer our customers several different ways to buy. You can order directly from our website and pay online; you can place an order on the website and pick it up in person ('Click & Collect'); or you can just pop into one of our depots and make your purchase there.

 

4) Demonstration Videos
Have you seen SafetyLiftinGear's YouTube channel? We've uploaded loads of useful videos in the last couple of years, and they're all designed to help you get the most from our products. For example, if you're not sure how to use your new scaffold hoist or chain block, all you have to do is hop over to YouTube and let our staff walk you through it.

 

5) Ongoing Customer Support
Some companies stop caring about their customers as soon as the money's in the till. Not SafetyLiftinGear, though - we want to make sure that you're totally happy with our service, and there are loads of different ways to get in touch with our team if you need any help. You can telephone 0808 123 69 69, email sales@safetyliftingear.com, or message us on Twitter or Facebook.
