Scissor lifts tables are specialised aerial lifts designed to lift large pallets and loads and are commonly integrated into production, construction lines to accommodate change in levels or to provide a table that is at comfortable height for the worker. 
 
When purchasing a scissor lift table you need to consider the height that you need to reach and the weight of the load it needs to support. Here at SafetyLiftinGear our mobile scissor platform tables all have a different working load limit, from 150kg to 1000kg and a lift height ranging from 720mm to 1500mm.  
 
At SafetyLiftinGear we only stock hydraulic mobile scissor lifts because they provide the most economical, dependable, and versatile method of lifting. Our hydraulic scissor lifts have few moving parts, so there are fewer parts that will need servicing and less parts that could breakdown causing downtime so you will get many trouble free years with our platform tables. However, in the unlikely event that you do have an issue we offer a 12 months warranty on our entire range of platform tables. 
 
These scissor lift tables rise loads smoothly and are operated by a foot pedal located at the bottom, they also feature a fold flat handle so these scissor lifts are easy to store and transport from warehouse to warehouse. Finally, all the wheels are made from polyurethane making them hard wearing, oil and solvent resistant, and resistant to extreme temperatures making our scissor lift platforms the perfect addition to workshops, garages and warehouses. 
 
SafetyLiftinGear’s Scissor lift platforms are available to buy or hire. Click here to view our full range of lift tables, or contact us and speak to a member of customer service team.

Construction sites are very dangerous places to work, being surrounded by heavy machinery, noisy power tools, large trucks and lorries, entering confined working spaces, or being in contact with potentially hazardous materials (Asbestos) chemicals and gases, can greatly increase the risk of accidents. So if you are working on, visiting or managing a building or construction site, you need to ensure that you and your staff are dressing appropriately. 

When is PPE Needed?

According to the HSE (Health and Safety Executive), PPE should be used “when all other measures are inadequate to control exposure”. PPE is generally advised to be used as a last resort, when risks to employee health cannot be avoided or controlled in any other way.

Do I need PPE?

If your workplace is found to have risks to your health that cannot be controlled by any other means, you might need PPE. If PPE is needed, it is the responsibility of the employer to ensure PPE is provided to all employees who may be exposed to a risk to their health or safety while at work. It is also the responsibility of the employer to provide said PPE free of charge, whether it is returnable or not (Section 9 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974).

Workplace PPE from SafetyLiftinGear:

We at SafetyLiftinGear, take Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) extremely seriously. Here is an example of the products that we stock in our specialist PPE section

 
 
Ear protection
 
When you are working in loud environments where you are exposed to loud noises it is important to take care of your hearing, prolonged exposure to loud noises can lead to noise related hearing loss, or tinnitus. You can protect yourself against noise by using our Ear defenders. Our ear defenders offer comfort and protection with a noise reduction rating up to 34dB. 
Eye Protection 
By law eye protection must be worn when you are in a hazardous area, if you are employing people to work on your site it is your responsibility to provide eye protection. When choosing eye protection it is important that they are comfortable, and that they are designed to protect you from the potential hazard such high speed flying metal particles, small stones, or chemical splashes. You will also need to consider if you are going to be using ear protection with them, or a respirator, as these items can affect how the glasses fit. 
 
Here at SafetyLiftinGear our safety goggles have a soft, adjustable head strap to ensure that they are comfortable and can be used with your ear protection and respirators if needed. Click here to View.
Dust Masks 
Every year people are dying because of prolonged exposure to hazardous substances while at work.  Dust masks help prevent the development of respiratory illnesses caused from the inhalation of hazardous substances while you are working. Many hazardous substances are fine dusts, smoke, gas and vapour, most of which you cannot see. 
When you are choosing your dust mask, make sure it is suitable for the potential hazards you could be facing in your workplace.  Here at SafetyLiftinGear we stock a huge range of dust masks that will protect you from a range of hazardous substances, click here to view our comprehensive range. 
 
 
 
High Visibility Clothing 
When you are working on a building or construction site, you are at increased risk of injury by large trucks, and Lorries when they are entering, navigating and exiting a work site. High visibility clothing is made from materials with florescent pigments and reflective bands over the shoulders and around the waist. Make sure that you are choosing the correct high visibility clothing for the working conditions, and the task that you are carrying out.
 
Here at Safety Lifting Gear we stock a huge range of high visibility wear, including safety jacket harnesses, high visibility overalls, and high visibility jackets. Click here to view our full range of high Visibility clothing.

If you are considering moving a storage container, a large machine, or a large awkward piece of equipment or furniture, then you will need one of our high quality machine moving skates. Machine moving skates make the transportation of a 55 tonne storage container easy work.  

To use machine skates simply get 4 low profile toe jacks to lift up the equipment that you wish to move. By using the toe jacks, jack the object high enough to slide the moving skate under all four corners. Slowly release the toe jacks when you are sure that the machine is in place. Attach the steering bars and move your machine to its new place. 

Because of the weight that you could be moving with machine jacks, it is important that you chose high quality machine skates. Our ranges of machine moving skates all have polyurethane wheels. Polyurethane wheels have a higher load bearing capacity than rubber wheels and are oil and solvent resistant, they are also tear resistant, weather resistant, and resistant to extreme temperatures. On top of all these benefits, they also reduce the risk of damaging your work place floor.
