Big news: the SafetyLiftinGear website has had a makeover! Our design has been updated, which we hope will make it easier for you to find and purchase the equipment you need, but more importantly, SafetyLiftinGear.com is now fully responsive!
This means that our website now 'responds' to the screen on which you're viewing it. If you're using a smartphone, for example, we now look like this:
This new functionality should make it significantly easier for mobile and tablet users to browse our range and place orders online. You can still shop in three different currencies (GBP, EUR or AED), and you've still got hundreds of different items to choose from - we've just made it a bit simpler for those viewing the site on small, touch-activated screens.
The other major change is the addition of a 'Hire' option. Most of our gear is now available to hire as well as to buy; this means that, when you're looking at a product on our website, you may well see this underneath the usual 'Add to Basket' button:
Clicking the 'Hire Me' button will add the product in question to your 'Hire Basket'. This new feature allows you to select as many products as you like for hire, then send an enquiry to the SafetyLifitnGear team, who will respond with a price quotation as quickly as we can.

Thanks very much to ecommerce web design specialists Designer Websites for their work on our new and improved site.
Ergodyne are a company from the USA - Minnesota, to be precise - with a great reputation for manufacturing "tenacious work gear" (as their logo puts it). Now, we're all about high-quality equipment here at SafetyLiftinGear, and so Ergodyne's super-strong products are right up our street...which is why we've added a selection of the company's tool lanyards to our Height Safety department!
As we've mentioned before, tool lanyards are a must-have for anyone who works at height. Tools and fittings can cause a huge amount of damage if dropped, even if it's from a relatively small height; for example, if you were to drop a spanner whilst working on a ladder, it could seriously injure anyone who happens to be passing underneath at the time.
That's why we at SafetyLifitnGear recommend Ergodyne's Squids® range. These high-calibre tool lanyards are specifically designed to prevent tools from dropping whilst exerting the minimum possible force on the body to which they're attached. Choose from the following products:
These tool lanyards and their corresponding accessories are ideal for construction workers, tradesmen, and anyone else who ever works at height.

Summer has arrived! School's out, and if the sun comes out too, Britain's beaches are sure to be swarming with smiling families for the next six weeks or so.
If you and your family are heading to the seaside this summer, there's one accessory that you simply can't be without: a beach cart!
As you can see, SafetyLiftinGear's garden carts are ideal for a trip to the beach - they can be used to carry all of your gear (towels, swimming costumes, buckets, spades, etc.) to and from the sea, and their chunky, heavy-duty tyres will have no problem with the bumpy, sandy terrain!
The beach cart featured in the photos above is our Garden Dump Cart, which can carry loads of up to 300kg and costs just £51.58 (inc. VAT). Once you've bought your beach cart, it'll last for years and years - every summer outing will be easier if you keep a cart in your boot!
As we've mentioned previously, our garden carts are also perfect for festivals. Why carry your tent and camping gear on your back when you could just pop it in a cart and roll it from car park to campsite with ease?
Visit our Garden Carts department to see our full range of handy, high-endurance utility carts!
Last week, the SafetyLiftinGear team attended the ABTT Theatre Show at Alexandra Palace in London. We think it's safe to say that the event went terrifically well - not only did we meet lots of new clients and interesting people, we actually came away from Alexandra Palace with a new trophy for the SLG cabinet!
Our Duke DCH battery-powered chain hoist was chosen as ABTT's Widget of the Year 2015, which is an award for the most useful product at the show. The trophy we received is pictured above alongside the prize-winning hoist itself (thanks to Meg and Lucy for their modelling skills!)
Here's what the ABTT judges had to say about the Duke DCH:
"The judges were very impressed with this product, and expect to see them in numerous applications and in the hands of many technicians soon, especially considering the budget conscious price tag. The benefits of a lightweight battery-powered motor capable of lifting 250kg or 500kg are huge. This is exactly the type of tool that will help solve many of the problems that working technicians have to deal with daily, offering a safe way to haul without needing large power and control infrastructure."
We were thrilled to receive this award from the Association of British Theatre Technicians, and we hope that everyone else enjoyed this year's show as much as we did!
