SafetyLiftinGear is now offering arborist equipment from three new brands in partnership with Honey Brothers!

Honey Brothers are UK-based arboriculture specialists who offer a range of tree care products at affordable prices. They’ve been supplying high-quality arborist equipment since 1955, and during that time, Honey Brothers has gone from a small local business to one of the largest players in the tree surgery market.

MEWPs (mobile elevated working platforms), also known as powered access platforms, are essential tools for working at height, commonly used in industries like construction, cleaning and maintenance. They provide a secure, elevated working platform that is more mobile and stable than traditional ladders or scaffolding.

When you work at height, “load” can mean two very different things. It might be the weight you’re lifting into position (plant, steelwork, truss, pallets). Or it might be the forces your safety system must withstand if something goes wrong.

Hard hats, also known as safety helmets, are more than just important, they are crucial for protecting workers from severe head injuries and even death while working on site. At construction sites, head injuries can occur in a range of ways, but by wearing the right kind of safety helmet, workers can prevent or reduce the severity of these injuries. Keep reading this blog for more reasons why hard hats are important.
