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.

Workshop Heaters: Keep Your Workplace Warm This Winter!

robin products

We're lucky to have had some pretty mild weather during the past few days, but if the very beginning of December is anything to go by, we should be expecting quite a few sub-zero temperatures this winter. This is particularly bad news for those of us who work in cold workshops, or other areas without adequate heating systems, as it often means layering up to the extent that you look more like a Game of Thrones extra as opposed to a tradesperson!

Luckily, help is at hand, in the form of our effective and affordable range of workshop heaters, with fan and infrared options available, depending on your needs. Whether you're just looking for a quick way to warm up the workplace on a cold morning, or you're looking for a more permanent solution to give cold-walled areas a boost, our heaters are a great way to provide a reliable and efficient heating system, that can easily be tailored to suit your changing requirements.
