BLOODHOUND Rocket Car Workshops: A Great Activity for the Christmas Holidays!

Admin general news

The BLOODHOUND team have nearly completed the build of the BLOODHOUND SSC, a supersonic car that is designed to break the 1,000 mile per hour barrier. Throughout the project, the team have been hosting various events and engaging with schools with the aim of getting children inspired to become the next generation of scientists, mathematicians and engineers. It is for this reason that SafetyLiftinGear are proud to be partners with BLOODHOUND Project - we are their official suppliers of lifting and handling products.

Over Christmas, the BLOODHOUND team will be hosting educational and fun workshops at The Technical Centre in Bristol. You and your children will learn about the science behind building a jet- and rocket-powered race car, tour the supersonic car itself, and if that's not enough, you can also take part in a workshop wherein you and your children can build and race your own rocket car.

These workshops will run from Monday 21st to Wednesday 23rd December. For more information or to book your tickets, please click here.

Lifting Equipment in London: Visit our Trade Counter!

Admin general news

Earlier this year, we announced that we were planning on opening a new SafetyLiftinGear depot in West London. We are now proud to announce that our new West London Depot is now open, and ready to trade.

Last year safety lifting gear took its first steps into expansion with the opening of depots in Bridgewater, London, Leeds and Cardiff. This year we have continued to expand, opening a new safety lifting gear depot in West Drayton.

Our West Drayton Depot is a 5 minute drive from ideally located for our customers, old and new, from Slough, West London, and the surrounding areas to come and take advantage of our tool repair and hire service, or to purchase our full range of products.

This new depot opening brings the company’s UK footprint to 6 depots and trade counters, including our head offices located in Bristol. No matter which Depot you visit, you can expect a warm welcome, second -to-none expert advice, and excellent customer service.

This year we also expanded into lifting equipment hire. A new service created, so our customers could rent our products instead of purchasing them. This service has proven to be hugely popular with our customers and so now our entire range is now available to hire. You are now able to hire lifting equipment from our website or at one of our 6 trade counters around the UK.

Information of all our trade counters can be found on our contact page.

Dont miss the chance to go and view The Bloodhound SSC

Admin general news

Here at SafetyLiftinGear we are very proud to have supplied safety equipment to the Bloodhound SSC Project. For those who are not aware, the Bloodhound project has been created by Richard Noble OBE and Andy Green, the current Land Speed Record Holder. The Bloodhound project hopes to inspire young people to consider a career in science, mathematical and engineering fields, as well as to break the current land speed record of 763.035mph which was set by Andy Green back in 2007.

The Bloodhound SSC is designed to reach speeds of 1000mph and is currently 95% complete and available for public viewing on Thursday 29th October at the Technical Centre in Bristol.

Some of the side panels will be removed so you can see the truly amazing Rolls-Royce EJ200 Jet engine and the super charged Jaguar V8 Engine.

Alongside the Bloodhound SSC there are other exhibits in the technical centre. So If you are looking for something unique to do with your children this half term we are certain you will love this exhibit.
