Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we supply a huge range of lifting equipment, with each item designed to provide safety and security for your operation. Although we are pleased to provide such a great standard of quality and choice for our customers, we realise that the variety of products on offer can sometimes make it slightly harder to locate and choose the item you need (especially when you're not sure what you're looking for).

To make your decision a little easier, and to provide a bit more information about our range, here's a closer look at the lifting clamps we offer in our safe lifting equipment range:

Beam Clamps

These adjustable lifting clamps are easy to install, and are incredibly robust, making them ideal for improving both the safety and efficiency of your operations. They are available in a weight range of 1 to 10 tonnes, and can be used alongside chainblocks or powered hoists for a number of heavy lifting applications.

Plate Clamps

If you're lifting and transporting heavy steel plates, you'll need to use a product that's specifically designed to help you perform this operation safely. Our beam clamps are available for both vertical or horizontal lifting, and each clamp comes with a simple locking mechanism for secure, hassle-free use.

Pipe Lifting Clamps

If you need to lift cylindrical objects such as pipes and bars, then our SUPERCLAMP pipe lifting clamps are ideal. These clamps are not only robust and reliable, but are also easy to apply to cylindrical objects, with adjustable jaw grip to suite a wide range of diameters.

Hazard Demarcation: Keep Roof Workers Safe

robin products

We regularly read health and safety news stories about roof safety, or the lack of, so why do companies continue to neglect safe working procedures whilst working at height?

Along with the obvious risks of falls and slips near the roof edge, there are also a number of hazards which exist on the roof itself, which carry risks to both the workers and the building in question. Many flat roofed buildings have equipment such as air conditioning units and solar panels mounted to their surface, which can easily be damaged, or present health and safety risks to workers.

In order to ensure that workers are not put in danger when working on roof-based equipment and surfaces, an efficient system should be put in place in order to ensure that potential dangers are clearly marked.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a huge selection of safety systems for working at height, including products to point out hazards efficiently. Included in our range of equipment is our Steel Demarcation Safety Post, a product designed with the specific purpose of marking safe working areas on flat rooftops:

Used in combination with other posts and a system of chains, this hazard demarcation product can help to ensure that off-limits areas are clearly pointed out, and that safe passages to work areas are created. It is suitable for use on a number of roof surfaces, including single-ply, bituminous and concrete, making it a highly flexible product for working at height across a variety of locations. It can also provide additional safety benefits thanks to its robust design, which has the ability to withstand wind speeds of up to 80 miles per hour!

Lifting Loops: Now Available From SafetyLiftinGear!

robin products

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we are constantly adding to our already-wide range of lifting equipment and accessories in order to provide our customers with a truly comprehensive choice of products to suit a variety of applications.

With this in mind, we have recently expanded our selection of lifting clutches to include a brand new range of threaded lifting loops, which are available in both Metric and RD thread in sizes ranging from 12-36mm.

These lifting loops are an ideal solution for lifting precast concrete units with all types of threaded lifting inserts, making them suitable for the secure lifting of beams, staircases, structural panels and more. For strength and safety, each lifting loop is manufactured from high-grade steel wire swaged onto a steel ferrule. The loops can even be reused in future operations, subject to passing a subsequent safety check in order to ensure that no damage has occurred during the previous lift.

Potential damage can be prevented by ensuring that the Safe Working Limit of the loop is sufficiently checked before placing your order, and once again before completing your desired application. This is included in the product description of each lifting loop, noted as 'SWL', and followed by the correct limit in kilograms.

Like all of the products we provide here at SafetyLiftinGear, our lifting loops are available at highly competitive and affordable prices, without compromising on safety and reliability. Prices for our lifting loops start from just £5.50, while the most expensive loops are priced at just £17.98 (with the ability to support loads of up to 6300kg)! We also offer quantity price breaks on your order, reducing overall costs even further for those who place bulk orders with us.
