Being able to provide our customers with new equipment that enables them to not only perform and complete tasks as quickly and easily as possible but in the safest possible way, is always one of our key goals here at SafetyLiftinGear, something we have once again achieved with the inclusion of SQUIDS Power Tool Brackets. These small but very handy attachments allow your power tools to be easily connected to your tool lanyard, enabling you to carry and transport your tools around without any additional hassle.
SQUIDS 3797 Power Tool Bracket Grinder Tool Trap
SQUIDS 3796 Power Tool Bracket Drill and Impact Driver Tool Trap
As most power tools such as grinders, impact drivers and cordless drills do not possess any attachment points whereby you are able to clip them onto a tool lanyard, our range of specially designed brackets are extremely useful in helping workers with the above. Due to these connection points not being readily available, a hazardous environment is created with the risk of accidents being elevated when working at height. The ability to tether your power tools should be part of a wider fall protection plan in order to decrease the risk of dropped objects while working and improving the overall safety of the workplace. Each bracket comes with a number of metric fasteners in order to mount a variety of power tools from leading brands such as DeWalt, Bosch and Makita. You can view a number of these high-quality brackets below.
Installing your new power tool bracket could not be easier! The one-time assembly produces a fast and simple one-step attachment to tether a lanyard to your tools. Simply fasten the included tool bracket and labels onto screw ports intended for accessory belt hooks. Once the required has been applied to the anchor point, you then attach a tool lanyard to the bracket tether point to securely tether your tools. If you do not own a tool lanyard or need a new one, please visit our range of Tool Lanyards here to purchase yours today.

If you have pallets of equipment that require lifting and transporting around your site but are unable to do so because a standard forklift truck simply cannot reach, then a crane fork attachment is exactly what you need!
A crane pallet fork is a suspended piece of equipment that is used to lift pallets in areas of a workplace that a regular forklift cannot and is available in two different forms; manual balancing and automatic balancing, depending on the user’s needs. Manual balancing crane forks require the operator to adjust the hook position on the forks to suit the desired load, ensuring it is lifted correctly and is not dangerously leaning forward, which brings the risk of the load accidentally dropping. Automatic/self-balancing crane forks, on the other hand, require no manual interference to level the load. They do, however, require to carry a load which weighs 20% of the maximum safe working load (SWL) to work correctly and efficiently, e.g. a 2-tonne crane fork must be loaded with a minimum of 400kg. The automatic balancing feature is engaged by a pressurised gas spring once the load is placed onto the forks. The load will always be in the centre of the forks, ensuring safe movement and transport.
Here at SLG, we supply a range of high-quality crane forks, manufactured with the highest quality of steel by Boscaro Italia to ensure both robustness and reliability. Available with SWL’s up to 3-tonnes, these crane forks are self-balancing, so require to intervention when it comes to levelling your loads. As well as automatic balancing, these forks also feature fully adjustable tines from 340mm to 1600mm in width, with a locking mechanism to secure your desired fork position. Each one of our crane forks is also equipped with net-friendly attachments to allow the easy use of safety nets to protect against falling loose items. Compliant to BS EN 13155, our collection of crane pallet forks is fully tested and meet all industry standard requirements.

The dangers of working at height do not stop once the worker’s fall-arrest equipment performs effectively to reduce the consequences of a fall from height. The worker may now be at risk of an equally life-threatening emergency; suspension trauma.

Working at height comes with high-level risk – it goes without saying that you need the right equipment to keep you safe. Our height safety services are of an incredibly high calibre (no pun intended). To prove we’re not afraid to put our money where our mouth is, we’d like to share the story of an exciting installation done for the Clifton Observatory in Bristol.
Before we delve into the details of the installation – and the height safety equipment used – we need to turn back the clock to tell you all about the Clifton Observatory and how it came to be:
In the 19th century, the artist William West renovated the Clifton Observatory from what was then a humble derelict mill and turned it into the observatory building it is today. It was West who first introduced the camera obscura – in England, this is the only camera obscura open to the general public.
To keep the camera obscura in tip-top condition, maintenance staff were required to clean the lens. Doing this meant getting pretty high up – and considering all the health and safety consequences that came with that.
To keep staff safe, we provided a bespoke fall restraint solution meaning staff could navigate the observatory rooftop sure in the knowledge the equipment provided by Safety Lifting Gear would prevent any dangerous falls.
While the heights weren’t for the fainthearted, the gorgeous views of Clifton bridge from the top of the observatory definitely make for some pictures to remember.
We know that safety is of the uppermost importance when there is a need for working at height – this is why we provide a wide selection of equipment to meet all of your height safety needs. From our safety harnesses to our wide selection of climbing cord and rope, you can rest assured any job can be done safely from falls.
For those who haven’t worked at height before, or if you’d like a refresher on best practice when working on a height-based project, check out our comprehensive height safety training courses! From reliable products to effective training, we can make your job easier and safer.
