Failure to Provide Height Safety Gear Results in a Hefty Fine

robin Health & Safety

Once again, a demolition company from Nottingham has been fined for breeching height safety procedures, for allowing their employees to work on a roof without any fall prevention measures in place.

Every day we check the news in the world of health and safety, and find it staggering how many companies are willing to disregard the safety of their employees. Luckily, this case did not lead to a fatal accident or serious injury, but this most certainly could have been the case if the issue had been left undetected.

The company in question were removing tiles from a steep roof without any form of PPE or fall arrest equipment, which meant that the individuals could have come to serious harm, had they fallen and slipped whilst carrying out the work. Those responsible were fined £6,000 by the courts, and were ordered to pay £765 in costs, although the financial debt is nothing compared to the guilt they would have had to endure if something had gone wrong.

Whether it's in the form of bank note, or worse, the life of an unsuspecting worker, those who ignore height safety will have to pay out eventually. That's why it's important to invest in proper height safety gear, to save money and lives, as well as securing your company's reputation.

New Pallet Trucks & Floor Cranes from SafetyLiftinGear

robin Products

We've just added some new products to our extensive selection of equipment, so we thought that we'd tell you a bit more about them in today's blog.

5 Tonne Heavy Duty Pallet Truck

The first of our new items is this 5 tonne pallet truck, which has a fork dimension of 550mm x 1150mm. Designed to be both durable and user-friendly, this truck has a 3 position control handle for easy movement, as well as a set of tough polyurethane wheels and rollers. It has a minimum fork height of 90mm, and a maximum height of 190 mm. The pallet truck is available to hire or buy, and come with a 12 month warranty.

New Floor Cranes

In addition to the new pallet truck, we also have a new range of folding floor cranes, available in 0.5 tonne, 1 tonne, and 2 tonne options. These numbers denote their WLL, but keep in mind that the capacity reduces as the jib is extended. Each floor crane is lightweight and portable for your convenience, with folding legs for easy, compact storage, and the specifications for each one are as follows:

0.5 Tonne Crane

Max lift height (min jib extension) = 1800mm

Max lift height (max jib extension) = 2200mm

Lifting Capacity Range = 125kg - 0.5tonne

1 Tonne Crane

Max lift height (min jib extension) = 1860mm

Max lift height (max jib extension) = 2270mm

Lifting Capacity Range = 250kg - 1tonne

2 Tonne Crane

Max lift height (min jib extension) = 1880mm

Max lift height (max jib extension) = 2320mm

Lifting Capacity Range = 500kg - 2tonne

Browse Our Most Popular Electric Chain Hoists

robin Products

At SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a selection of electric chain hoists, which are suited to a multitude of different lifting applications, and are ideal for lifting loads that are too heavy for a manual hoist. Whether you work in construction, the industrial sector, or any other profession which requires heavy lifting, you are sure to see the benefits of using our electric hoists. We also supply our hoists in a comprehensive range of WLLs and voltages, to ensure that you have the perfect fit for your job.

Here are a few of our most popular single phase electric hoists:

250kg Electric Hoist, 110 volt

This electric hoist is made by Duke, and is ideal for smaller loads, with a WLL of 250 kg. It also has a generous lift height of 3mtr to 40 mtr, at an impressive speed of 10 meters per minute. Like all of our chain hoists it is heavy duty but light, making it easy to transport and hard-wearing.

250kg Electric Hoist, 240 volt

For those who require an electric hoist with a higher voltage, we also supply this Duke 250kg hoist which operates at 240v. Like the 110 volt version, this hoist is ideal for a number of lifting applications and is very easy to maintain. Both come supplied with a chainbag, and 3 mtr pendant control with an emergency stop, making them extremely safe to use.

1tonne Electric Hoist, 110 volt

For larger loads, we also supply 1tonne electric chain hoists, which have a lifting speed of 2.5 meters per minute. While these hoists have a higher WLL, are just as compact and easy to transport as our 250kg models, making them incredibly versatile and practical.

1tonne Electric Hoist, 240 volt

As with our 250kg options, we also supply our 1tonne electric hoist in a 240 volt version, to suit the varied requirements of our customers and their working conditions. This hoist also comes with a standard 3 mtr pendant control, although we are able to supply a longer pendant upon request . Like all of our Duke electric hoists, this has an official enclosure rating of IP54, which provides protection from dirt and water ingress.

Before choosing from our range of electric hoists, be sure to select the correct voltage and weight load limit, in order to carry out your operation as safely and securely as possible. If you have any questions about our electric chain hoists, please get in touch, and we will do our very best to answer all of your queries.
