Pallet Trucks - Summer Sale!

Jodie products

Pallet trucks are the ultimate tool for shifting pallets around the warehouse and getting your goods where they need to be. If your company needs a new pallet truck, you'll be pleased to know that SafetyLiftinGear is currently having a promotion on pallet trucks, with many products now available at their lowest prices yet!

Here are a few of our best pallet truck offers - click on a product to see more information and make a purchase or enquire about hiring. Alternatively, click here to see our full range of great value pallet trucks.

This 2 tonne pallet truck comes with a 3-position control handle and a 2 year warranty as standard. Its wheels and rollers are made of durable polyurethane, making them extra-tough; the forks measure 540 x 1150mm and have tapered tips for ease of use.

This is our extra long pallet truck, with 2 metre forks to allow for longer/wider loads than usual. This pallet truck also has a capacity of 2 tonnes, and it is supplied with a 12 month warranty as standard.

This pallet truck comes with a load indicator that tells you the weight of the load you're shifting (to the nearest 5kg). As with the extra long pallet truck, this product comes with a 12 month warranty and has a weight load limit of 2 tonnes.

The Danger of Using Inferior Lifting Equipment

Jodie health & safety

Not all lifting equipment is created equal, and it's important to make sure that the products you use are of a high quality. Lifting heavy loads is extremely dangerous, and if you're carrying out your work using inferior lifting gear, the consequences can be very dire indeed.

Here are two horrifying examples of lifting equipment that simply wasn't good enough for the task at hand:

Welder hospitalised after lifting sling breaks

A male welder and prop maker was working on a structure weighing 4,700 lbs (roughly 2.1 tonnes) that was to be used in the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The structure was suspended on a pair of polyester lifting slings, each supposedly with a weight capacity of 5,300 lbs; unfortunately, one of the slings broke whilst the structure was being lifted, and the structure fell onto the welder, breaking his legs and causing multiple fractures in his feet.

Company fined £12k after "horrendous" incident

Pelloby Engineered Limited, a Telford-based company, were recently fined £12,000 (plus £1,057 costs) for an incident that left one employee pinned underneath a two-tonne beam. The worker's legs and torso were crushed by the beam, which had been suspended on a single round sling with an apparent weight capacity of five tonnes. The sling snapped whilst the beam was in the air, leaving the unfortunate employee with what the HSE have referred to as "horrendous injuries" resulting from an "entirely preventable incident".

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, it is our top priority to prevent incidents like these from occurring. All of our products are full tested and certified before we sell them, and our ranges are sourced from some of the world's best lifting equipment manufacturers, giving us - and hopefully you, too - total confidence in everything we stock.

Recently our quality and service manager, Paul Kempson visited Qatar to provide product service training.

The trainees were very impressed with our level of expertise and believe their extended knowledge on the products will maximise sales and profits now they are able to service the equipment themselves.
