Forklift Attachments & Extensions: Buy or Hire Today

Jodie products

Forklifts have numerous uses in all kinds of different working environments. They're great for lifting, lowering, and transporting large goods; if you've got a forklift access platform, they can even help you and your workers to access high-up, hard-to-reach places and safely complete a variety of different tasks.

Sometimes, though, forklifts need a little extra help to get the job done properly. Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we stock an extensive range of forklift attachments and extensions to buy or hire - these assorted items are great for carrying out specialised tasks with your forklift, or simply enabling your truck to handle larger/longer loads.

Safety Lanyards: New Additions to Our Range

Jodie products

As you may already be aware, we sell a great range of tool lanyards here at SafetyLiftinGear, and if you and/or your employees regularly work at height, you'll be pleased to learn that we've just added a couple of new lanyards to our website.

These lanyards are great for stopping objects falling from height - here's a quick introduction to our newest arrivals:

Elastic Helmet Lanyard (with Buckle)

This elasticated Skullguard lanyard is designed to prevent your helmet / hardhat from falling off your head while you're working at height. The lanyard can be easily attached to many different types of headgear, and the plastic buckle at the other end connects to your safety harness or overalls.

Tool Safety Lanyard with Connecting Buckle

This expanding bungee-type lanyard can be connected to your belt using the buckle provided. The looped design allows you to safely store tools/equipment when not in use - this keeps your hands free and ensures that your tools won't fall and cause harm below. We also sell a pack of 3 additional connecting buckles to save you removing your tools from the connecting buckle every time.

New to SafetyLiftinGear: Ladder Safety Kits

Jodie products

Our new ladder safety kits are ideal for staying safe when working at height.

Falls from height are responsible for a startling number of workplace injuries every year, and around half of all fatal workplace falls involve ladders. We've probably all been up a ladder on at least a few occasions, and when you need to access a hard-to-reach area, a ladder is very often the best tool for the job; however, ladders can also be very dangerous if not used safely.

To help you and/or your employees stay safe on ladders, we are proud to present two brand new additions to the SafetyLiftinGear website: our ladder safety kits. Here's a quick primer on what each one includes:

Level 1 Ladder Safety Kit

The level 1 kit includes the following items:

2-point safety harness
Reusable ladder restraint tie (12mm diameter, suitable for use with any solid brick or concrete wall)
Waterproof PVC kit bag
Scaffold hook (attaches to ladder rung)
Twist lock karabiner (attaches to the safety harness)
Endless lashing (for securing the ladder to the ladder restraint tie)

Level 2 Ladder Safety Kit

The level 2 kit includes a 10m safety line that allows the user to carry up a variety of items (such as small tools or buckets) with ease. If you purchase this kit, you'll receive the following items:

Hi-Vis Safety Harnesses: Stay Safe & Be Seen!

Jodie products

We sell a wide variety of safety harnesses here at SafetyLiftinGear, many of which are specifically designed for one particular scenario or line of work such as is this flame-resistant harness.

Perhaps our best-selling specialist harness range is our collection of hi-vis harnesses, and with autumn and winter just around the corner, we're expecting a huge influx of high-visibility sales over the next few months. Visibility is naturally worse during the colder months, when the weather gets worse and the mornings and evenings grow darker, and in these conditions being seen is often just as important a safety concern as protecting oneself from falls.

Our high-visibility safety harnesses are great because they cover both bases. Not only do they help to prevent accidents while working at height, they also increase the wearer's visibility, which is crucial in certain conditions and working environments. Here are a few examples of what we can supply...

2-Point Hi-Vis Safety Harness: Available in yellow or orange.
Quick Release Hi-Vis Harness: Easier to put on and take off! Buy/hire here.
