adam products

Whether you need to carry out maintenance work or move heavy machinery, hydraulic toe jacks can help you to do this safely and efficiently, without having to deal with any unnecessary hassle. At SafetyLiftinGear, we supply a selection of toe jacks for both industrial and domestic use, providing you with the option to hire or buy depending on the requirements of the job.

Each toe jack we supply has it's own weight capacity and height limit, which means that you are able to match the jack you require with the demands of the application you intend to use it for. They also each come with a warranty ranging from a year to 2 years in length, providing you with peace of mind regarding the reliability of our products, as well as reassurance in the unlikely event that your toe jack fails.

We stock two types of toe jacks at SafetyLiftingGear:

Standard Hydraulic Toe Jacks

This type of toe jack ranges from a weight limit of 2.5 tonne to 15 tonne, providing you with a vast selection of options to choose from. They come complete with a handle, and have an overload pressure valve to prevent hazards caused by overloading your jack.

Swivel Toe Jacks

This toe jack is available to purchase in a 5 tonne and 10 tonne model, depending on the demands of your job. They are ideal for use in confined spaces, and have a 360 degree swivel function for easy manoeuvring.

Product Spotlight: Safety Harness Jacket

adam products

With autumn now upon us and winter on its way, SafetyLiftinGear's Height Safety range has gained a brand new pair of products that we think will make a lot of people very happy.

Working outdoors at this time of year can be a very unpleasant experience, and that goes double for people who have to work at height in strong winds and harsh weather. Our new safety harness jackets are specifically designed for people in this position; not only do they prevent falls via a built-in safety harness, they're also designed to keep you warm and dry when you're working in inclement weather.

Here's a quick rundown of what our fantastic fall protection jackets have to offer:

Safety Harness Jacket - Details:

Easy to put on and use
Harness can be removed for inspection, or if you wish to use the jacket on its own
Jacket is wind- and water-resistant
Three sizes available (Medium, Large and XLarge)
Harness attaches via front and rear D-ring attachment points
Ideal for all types of working at height, including event rigging

Our safety harness jackets come in two different colours: Black and High-Visibility Yellow. The black version is specifically designed for use in the entertainment industry, whereas the yellow jacket harness is better suited to industrial environments where workers need to be clearly visible.

SafetyLiftinGear's safety harness jackets are available both to buy and to hire. Whatever your requirements, click here to take a closer look at these products, or contact us to speak with a member of our customer service team.
