The humble pallet truck can be found in warehouses and stockrooms all over the world - it's ideal for moving heavy wooden pallets safely and efficiently.
But while ordinary pallet trucks work perfectly on smooth, polished floors, they do tend to struggle on uneven terrain. If you need a pallet truck that can be used on rough surfaces, we recommend our best-selling 1.2 Tonne All-Terrain Pallet Truck.
The rough surface pallet truck is great for construction sites, garden centres, and other work environments where the ground is too uneven for normal pallet trucks.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we are always looking for game-changing new products to add to our catalogue. One of our most recent additions is the Yale ERGO 360 ratchet lever hoist (750kg), which features a unique crank handle that rotates 360 degrees.
The Yale lever hoist's ergonomic design helps you to work faster and reduces your risk of injury. The fold-out handle (with strong steel core) is easy to use, and according to the manufacturer, requires up to 30% less pull force than a conventional ratchet lever hoist.
The revolutionary 360° Yale lever hoist is available to buy and hire from SafetyLiftinGear.com - but why order it?
The Yale ERGO 360 ratchet lever hoist offers several fantastic benefits. These include:

We have a wide range of high-quality carabiners and hooks available here at SafetyLiftinGear.com, and if properly looked after, these products will remain safe to use for a long time.
To keep your carabiners in good working order, follow these steps:
Use lukewarm tap water (roughly 30°C) and pH neutral washing-up liquid or detergent. Regular cleaning removes dirt and grime that might prevent your carabiners from closing properly or otherwise impede their correct operation. After washing, rinse each carabiner off and leave to dry thoroughly in a dry, well-ventilated area that's out of direct sunlight. (Heat, humidity and sunlight can reduce the working life of your carabiners.) Do not put your carabiners in a washing machine or tumble dryer.
Lubricating the internal mechanisms of each carabiner will keep the product working smoothly. Use a silicone-based oil and avoid products that contain sulphur. Dry any excess oil with a cloth or paper towel, then open and close the carabiner a few times to make sure it is entirely lubricated.
Periodic inspection ensures that your carabiners are still in good working order and safe to use. Compose a formal maintenance and inspection schedule to make sure the carabiners are not falling into disrepair.

With many years of experience in the field of height safety, we at SafetyLiftinGear are able to provide a fall protection system for virtually any project. Whatever your requirements, we have the products and the expertise to help your team stay safe while working at height.
We recently provided a set of custom safety lines for Centrica Business Solutions, who make combined heat and power (CHP) units for a range of different clients. Part of Centrica's manufacturing process requires access onto the roof of each CHP, so the company found themselves with an unavoidable need to work at height.
That's where we came we in. SafetyLiftinGear designed a bespoke support-post fall arrest system (combined with our G-Force monoline overhead safety line) to protect up to 14 simultaneous workers. Our fall protection specialists installed two safety lines with bespoke support posts to remove the roof slope and keep the safety line horizontal; we also attached another 5 overhead safety lines to the main structural steels.
The very smooth movement of the G-force monoline travelling trolley grants the worker free and uninterrupted movement as they go about their daily duties.
Here's what the production supervisor from Centrica CHP Manufacturing had to say about our custom safety line system:
"We had been looking for a fall arrest system to fit our needs for quite a while, once we spoke to SLG we were sure their solution would enable us to operate in as safe a manner as possible.
The feedback from the team using them has been great. They feel a lot safer than before, and the fall arrest blocks being above them means they aren’t in the way of the job at hand.
SLG will definitely be our first port of call should any future projects arise."

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we pride ourselves not just on our wide range of high-quality lifting equipment but on our ability to provide bespoke lifting solutions for virtually any job.
We recently received an enquiry from R Turner Loft Conversions, a team of contractors based in Dorset. Specialising as they do in loft conversions, they frequently work at height, and they needed an easy way to lift materials such as roof tiles, OSB, plasterboard, etc.
We'll let Rick from R Turner Loft Conversions tell the rest of the story:
"We are a small team, and we have been struggling over the years to lift some materials up a ladder, so we decided to purchase a decent hoist. "I decided that I required 4 slings with a sling hook on each end. I searched the Internet and ended up speaking to James Bertham at SafetyLiftinGear. "I sent James a couple of rough sketches of what I was trying to achieve and how I intended to use the slings. James supplied me with the correct tailor-made strops, and my simple idea worked perfectly. "Thanks very much for supplying these custom lifting slings."
