Hire Moving Equipment from SafetyLiftinGear

mike products

If you're in the process of moving (or preparing to move) house, you'll need some quality furniture moving equipment to ensure that all of your possessions stay safe during the move. Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a cost-effective moving equipment hire service that will help you to make the move a whole lot easier.

Here are some of the furniture moving products you can hire from SafetyLiftinGear:

600kg Manual Furniture Movers

These manual movers have an impressive capacity of 600kg, and they're ideal for moving heavy loads such as beds, sofas or wardrobes. The movers are separate, meaning that this product is completely adjustable to any size load you may have. Each mover also has a manual lifting mechanism, which allows it to move the load from the floor with ease, and a strap which will firmly secure the load wherever you take it.

Easily operated alone, these manual furniture movers are perfect to help you move home. Request a hire quotation here >

Furniture / Equipment Movers (1800kg)

If your furniture is on the slightly heavier side, these 1800kg furniture movers are just the equipment for the job. Similar to the manual furniture movers, these furniture/equipment movers are fully adjustable as they fit at either end of your load. Included with this product is a hydraulic lifter to raise the load from the floor, so you won't have to do it manually. This high-quality moving equipment comes with a strap to secure your load, and the wheels are polyurethane to reduce the risk of damage to your floor. Request a hire quote here >

SafetyLiftinGear.com Sponsor Fundraising Efforts

mike general news

We at SafetyLiftinGear.com are always happy to get behind a good cause, and we often sponsor people who are doing amazing things to raise money for charity.

Here are two very impressive fundraising efforts that we are currently sponsoring:

Running a Marathon for the White Lodge Centre

This coming weekend, Stephanie Doolan will be pulling on her trainers and running a full 26.2 mile marathon to raise money for the White Lodge Centre, a charity that provides support for disabled people and their families and carers.

The White Lodge Centre is a cause that's very close to Stephanie's heart. Her daughter Emily was born with a rare chromosome duplication condition; she also has autism, early onset arthritis, and dual hip dysplasia. Emily couldn't walk until she was 5 years old and had undergone multiple hip/leg operations.

Throughout Emily's life to date, the White Lodge Centre has been a crucial source of support, equipment and advice for Stephanie and her family. "The White Lodge Centre have quite literally given Emily her legs back," says Stephanie on her JustGiving page. "The support and encouragement they have dedicated to Emily has been inspiring and I can't put into words how grateful we are."

Stephanie has already completed several fundraising runs for the White Lodge Centre, including a 5k, a 10k, and a half marathon. However, this will be her first full marathon, so we hope you'll join us in donating to her fund and showing your support! Donate here >

20Twenty Challenge

We've supported Shaun Gash - a man who, in spite of being paralysed from the waist down, never shies away from a demanding physical challenge - in a number of fundraising efforts in the past, and we were more than happy to lend a hand when with his latest project: the 20Twenty Challenge.

This August, Shaun and his friend Gavin will be attempting to travel from Land's End to John o'Groats in less than 20 days. Instead of making this journey on bicycles (as many other fundraisers do), Shaun and Gavin will be travelling in self-propelled wheelchairs...and they are hoping to set a new Guinness World Record in the process!

We at SafetyLiftinGear are proud to have supplied Shaun and Gavin with protective helmets and a few other pieces of safety gear - we hope our products will serve them well as they make their way from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands. This is a 'mass participation' event, and the two men are hoping that they will be able to make a big difference to lives up and down the country. Find out how you can get involved here.
