When carrying a heavy load, it is paramount that you are using the correct equipment to keep you, and your colleagues, safe. But when it comes to carrying heavy loads upstairs it is even more crucial that you are tackling the task with the appropriate equipment, having fully evaluated potential risks.
The added hazard of falling and/or crushing means carrying loads upstairs is something you should take very seriously. The good news is, Safety Lifting Gear offers the equipment you need to make lifting loads upstairs easier and more efficient! Read on, to find out How to Safely Carry Loads Upstairs:

With British Summertime well underway, festivals are starting to pop-up pretty much every weekend. The first festival of the season kicking off this Saturday is Park Life and Download.
With festivals running from this weekend all the way until September, we are fully stocked up on all of our carts. Our range of festival carts and trolleys will make your life a whole lot easier, especially if you are going to a festival for the whole weekend. There is nothing worse than struggling with all of your bags; most festival entrances are miles away from the nearest car-park or bus-station so be sure to get your festival cart or trolley before they sell out!
As we all know, the summer sun doesn't last very long in the UK and most of the time, you can experience some rain. With rain, there comes festival mud, every person's nightmare! With our festival carts and trolleys, you don't have to panic about transporting all of your items whilst slipping through the mud because your trolley will carry it all!
Whether sun or rain, our carts will make your festival experience a little less stressful and a lot easier. You can pack all of your belongings, some food and drink and still have enough room for some extra bits and bobs you may pick up on the way. What's more, festival carts are also great for family festivals. (Disclaimer: we do not recommend you use your cart for transporting children...however, with the below picture being extra adorable we made an exception to include it, but please always take care when using one of our carts!)
No matter the items you're bringing along with you to this year's festivals, here at SafetyLiftinGear we have a wide array to suit all of your festival needs. We even have an assembly video for when you do purchase your festival cart.

At SafetyLiftinGear we always aim to offer a lifting solution to match all of our customer's requirements, which is exactly why we continue to expand our range of products. This time we have added products to our popular range of hydraulic cylinders, now our product range is suitable for those looking to lift 150 tonnes and 200 tonnes.
Previously we only stocked hydraulic cylinders that were capable of moving 100 tonne weights, which is why we are so pleased to add even more specialist products for high capacity lifting/jacking.
Our hydraulic cylinders are helpful in a range of industrial applications. Whether you need to push, pull or lift, our hydraulic cylinders are capable of the job. Their durable design allows them to be used day after day and always perform perfectly. To see our new, heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, see the links below:
150 tonne x 100mm Hydraulic Cylinder
150 tonne x 150mm Hydraulic Cylinder
200 tonne x 100mm Hydraulic Cylinder
200 tonne x 150mm Hydraulic Cylinder
Heavy-duty hydraulic hand pump
We also supply a range of manual hand pumps to operate the cylinders. We had to expand this collection too to accommodate our new hydraulic cylinder range. Our hydraulic hand pumps have a large release valve handle for controlling lead decent and 2 speeds so they can be used for high and low-pressure projects. This hand pump is compatible with the hydraulic cylinders above!
If you can't seem to find the combination of products you need for your lifting project than you always talk to us about your requirements. If you're wondering what other hydraulic cylinders we offer you can read our blog post here. If you ever need to ask our expert advice about lifting equipment, you can contact us here today.
A safety harness is a system of restraints that prevent the wearer from falling from a height. By wearing the belt or harness the risk of injury from a fall is greatly reduced.The harness allows the user to attach themselves to a stationary object, therefore ensuring they will not hit the ground in the event of a fall. Falling from a height is one of the most common causes of personal injury in the workplace, so it is very important to make sure you are properly equipped when working up high.
As any outdoor worker will know, the winter elements bring a whole new set of health and safety challenges to the work site. Wind, rain and frosty spells combine to make the task of maintaining safe conditions even more challenging, which means that additional measures must be taken in order to keep employees safe and well.
