The BLOODHOUND Project: There's an App for That!

mike general news

As we've proudly stated again and again over the last few months, SafetyLiftinGear is the official supplier of lifting / material handling products to The BLOODHOUND Project, an attempt to both break the land speed record and inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers.

Of course, even if we weren't involved in The BLOODHOUND Project, we'd still be closely tracking its progress - after all, who wouldn't be interested in a supersonic car that can travel at 1000mph?

One of the latest developments from Team BLOODHOUND is the creation of a mobile app that allows you to get the inside scoop on The BLOODHOUND Project and related topics like the history of the land speed record and the science behind the car that will hopefully break it.

The app is available for iOS and Android devices - get it from the App Store or Google Play now! It costs less than a pound, and all proceeds will be invested back into the BLOOHOUND education programme, so your pennies will be going towards a very good cause! Click here to find out more about the BLOODHOUND Blast app.

SafetyLiftinGear is an official partner of The BLOODHOUND Project, supplying the lifting equipment and material handling products that will be used in the construction of the BLOODHOUND supersonic car. More info here.

mike products

The G-Force TM12 is a multi-purpose tripod and gantry that can be used for lifting and lowering materials as well as for working safely in confined spaces. The TM12 is lightweight and - since it can be broken down into its 3 constituent components - easily portable, too.

Watch the video below to see how the TM12 is assembled and operated:

This video shows the TM12 being used in conjunction with a recovery winch - these are sold separately, although you can also choose to purchase your TM12 tripod and gantry with winch included.

Here are some additional details about the G-Force TM12:

Consists of main tripod, top beam, and two-legged support
Also includes 1 x double trolley, 1 x single trolley, and 1 x alloy bow shackle (1000kg)
Support workers (max. weight 140kg) in confined spaces
Lift and lower loads of up to 1000kg
Length and height fully adjustable
Gripping thorns on feet for extra traction
Ideal for use with the G-Force P10R Rescue Harness

mike products

Today is a very exciting day, as today we'll be introducing you to one of our brand new products, the CM LODESTAR Electronic Hoist!

The LODESTAR is a tough and durable Electric and Chain Hoist, and is designed to work in the most arduous applications. We sell 4 electronic hoists here at SafetyLiftinGear, ranging from a 3 metre to 30 metre maximum lifting height and lifting capacities of 500kg, 1000kg, 2000kg and 3000kg. Each hoist features a tough, lightweight aluminium alloy cover, totally enclosing any mechanical or electrical components and it's easily accessible for installation and service. The adjustable upper and lower limit switches allows you to have complete control of the electronic hoist and each hoist is fitted with a lifetime lubricated gearbox, which contributes to the exceptional service and maintenance characteristics.

This electronic hoist is recognised and proven within the hire industry as the number one hoist, where high duty, combined with long heights of lift are required. For more information on these products and if you wish to purchase or hire one of these electronic hosts, click here.

5 Uses for Our Garden Trolleys

mike products

Our heavy-duty garden trolleys are among the most popular products in the entire SafetyLiftinGear catalogue, and it's not difficult to see why: these robust little carts lend themselves to countless uses in all kinds of different environments!

Here are just five examples of the many places where we've seen our garden trolleys being utilised:

Music festivals. If you've ever been to festival like Glastonbury or T in the Park, you'll know that the car park is very often located quite a long way from the festival site itself. The long hike from car to campsite can be a huge pain, particularly if you've got a tonne of camping gear and/or beer to carry. Fortunately, there is a better way - as the photograph below shows, our utility carts are ideal for transporting your festival luggage around the field!

Trade shows. If you're showing off your company's products at a show or exhibition, our utility carts make it far easier to get them from your van to your stall inside the venue.
Construction sites. Our trolleys come with pneumatic tyres that are capable of travelling over just about any type of terrain with ease. This property makes them perfect for ferrying objects around building sites!
Family days out. As any parents in the audience will already know, taking the family for a fun day out at the beach or the local park means bringing all manner of toys, snacks, coats, and other stuff along with you. A garden trolley from SafetyLiftinGear can make all of these items far more convenient to transport, and as you can see from the photos below, it can also be used as a means of carting the kids around once their legs get tired!

Gardening. As you'd probably guess from the name, our garden trolleys are also very handy when you're in the garden. Our sturdy garden dump cart is a great alternative to the more traditional wheelbarrow, and no matter what you're lugging around your garden (or garden centre), it's bound to be more than up to the task.
