New G-Guard Load Arrestors

adam products

Another day, another exciting addition to our Lifting Equipment range! The SafetyLiftinGear website is now home to a selection of high-quality load arrestors - these robust products are designed to make sure that heavy loads don't fall when being lifted, even if the load's primary support system fails.

How do they work?

Each G-Guard fall arrestor consists of a retractable safety line. If a load drops suddenly whilst attached to this line, the load arrestor's brake will automatically kick in and prevent the load from falling. The brake's shock-absorbent properties minimise the force of the load arrestor and protect the load from damage.

Why should I use a load arrestor?

Back-up measures like these fall arrestors are important in case your lifting equipment suddenly fails while you are raising a heavy load. These safety lines will ensure that your load does not drop to the ground below (where it may cause damage, injury, or even worse).

How strong are SafetyLiftinGear's load arrestors?

We have three different G-Guard load arrestors to choose from, each with its own specifications and weight load limit:

1000kg Load Arrestor (available in 7m, 9m or 10m length)
500kg Load Arrestor (available in 6 different lengths, ranging from 7m to 24m)
300kg Load Arrestor (7 different lengths from 7m to 25m)
