SafetyLiftinGear's chain blocks and electric hoists were recently used to dismantle a large goods lift at a hotel on London's Park Lane.
Elevator Solutions Ltd, a Kent-based company who specialise in decommissioning lifts, were asked to remove the 8 tonne lift car and all shaft pulleys. After carrying out an initial site survey and tests, the Elevator Solutions team used a 10 tonne chain block from SafetyLiftinGear to tackle the lift car.
We are pleased to announce that SafetyLiftinGear's ever-expanding range of height access products now includes a selection of general purpose rope ladders.
These ladders are made from 8mm polyester rope, and they're suitable for a variety of different uses.
We recently expanded our ActionRam range with the addition of a 110 volt electric pump - ideal for workshops, garages and on-site jobs.
SafetyLiftinGear is an approved UK supplier of Bohle glass suction lifters. Glass suction lifters are ingenious tools, used mostly for moving glass panes. The lifter creates an airtight seal and uses vacuum suction to help you lift glass safely and efficiently. Glass suction lifters can also move other materials with a flat surface.
Bohle is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of glass suction lifters. The company was founded in 1932, meaning that Bohle now have almost a century of experience under their belts. The brand is internationally synonymous with high-quality glass processing equipment.

SafetyLiftinGear recently supplied some heavy-duty lifting equipment to help construction company Skyklass complete a job in Central London.
We rented out an assortment of slings, hoists and lifting beams to assist with the installation of a pre-fabricated roof light weighing 17.2 tonnes.
Here's what Skyklass hired from us:
All equipment was supplied by our London depot. Everything was delivered to the site in Central London and collected once the job had been successfully completed.

We are pleased to announce that we have added a selection of comfortable kneeling mats to our ever-expanding range of tools and equipment for tradespeople.
These portable kneeling mats are ideal for jobs that require you to kneel down for extended periods. Being on your knees can be very uncomfortable, especially if you're kneeling on a hard surface, and chronic aches and pains are common among workers who have to kneel on a regular basis.
Putting one of our soft kneeling mats between your knees and the ground reduces your risk of injury. These kneeling mats are durable enough to be used outdoors, and if the ground is wet, your kneeling mat will also help you to stay dry.
Our kneeling mats are especially popular among tradespeople who frequently kneel down to work. For example:
But these multifunctional kneeling mats aren't just for work. They also have many uses around the house!

When working at height, it's important to ensure that your tools - and any other items you have on your person - cannot fall to the ground. Even small objects like bolts and screws can be very dangerous when dropped from a great height.
If you carry your equipment in a work bag, that bag must be properly topped to stop its contents from falling out. (We discussed this previously in our blog about The Three Ts of Height Safety.)
To help you prevent accidents while working at height, we've added a range of secure storage bags to the SafetyLiftinGear website. These bags are available to order now, and all of them are specifically designed to prevent tools and equipment from falling out - even if the bag is turned upside down.
These tool bags can be attached to your belt or safety harness while working at height. They're perfect for keeping tools safe - store your tools inside the bag or use the attachment points on the outside so you don't have to rummage around in the middle of a job.
Available in three different sizes:
These extra-large storage bags are ideal for storing PPE, climbing rope and other important hardware. The bags are waterproof and the fold-over lid helps to keep your kit from falling out.
Three sizes available:
Need anything else? We have an enormous range of height safety products available to buy or hire - whatever you need to work safely at height, we can provide it. Contact SafetyLiftinGear today to discuss your requirements.
