Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we pride ourselves not just on our wide range of high-quality lifting equipment but on our ability to provide bespoke lifting solutions for virtually any job.
We recently received an enquiry from R Turner Loft Conversions, a team of contractors based in Dorset. Specialising as they do in loft conversions, they frequently work at height, and they needed an easy way to lift materials such as roof tiles, OSB, plasterboard, etc.
We'll let Rick from R Turner Loft Conversions tell the rest of the story:
"We are a small team, and we have been struggling over the years to lift some materials up a ladder, so we decided to purchase a decent hoist. "I decided that I required 4 slings with a sling hook on each end. I searched the Internet and ended up speaking to James Bertham at SafetyLiftinGear. "I sent James a couple of rough sketches of what I was trying to achieve and how I intended to use the slings. James supplied me with the correct tailor-made strops, and my simple idea worked perfectly. "Thanks very much for supplying these custom lifting slings."

Fork extensions offer a simple solution to the problem of an extra-large pallet or a load that is too large for your forklift truck's standard-length forks.
The fork extensions simply slide over your existing forks, adding a bit of extra length to better support the load. The extensions are secured with heel pins so they can't slide off when in use.
Before selecting your fork extensions, measure the width and thickness of your fork truck's forks. Then check the dimensions of the fork extensions to ensure they will fit. The extension length MUST NOT exceed 66% of the forks.
You MUST refer to the fork truck manufacturer's manual to ensure you do not exceed the loading capacity of the truck.
For any help or advice please contact our sales team, who are on hand to answer your questions.

If there's one thing that hasn't slowed down or stopped during the lockdown, is home deliveries. In fact, research by the Royal Mail shows that parcel deliveries have increased by a staggering 31% between March 30th and May 3rd of this year, showing just how much the nation has turned to online shopping as a result of high street retailers temporarily closing their doors.
With this extra burden placed on delivery companies and more importantly delivery drivers and work personnel, it's important that they are able to carry out their job as efficiently and safely as possible. For this very reason, we are proud to announce a brand new product that will ensure all delivery workers can perform their job with confidence, knowing they are supported, especially with larger, heavier goods.
Introducing the G-Force courier/order picker harness! A safety harness that ensures even load distribution when carrying heavy packages, perfect for delivery personnel that have consistent heavy goods that need to be carried and delivered.
This harness significantly relieves both the shoulder and spine of added stress and pressure, enabling daily tasks carried out by couriers to be completed in a safer and more reliable manner. It offers a foldable carrying shelf that acts as an additional point of support for the goods being carried, which allows the courier to have greater control and grasp. This also allows the courier to reach for a handle or a key pocket with a free hand while the shelf holds the weight of the goods, perfect for those awkward situations between loading and delivering packages.
A great aspect of the harness is that it does not hamper movement as a result of the adjustable carrying strap system that suits any and all body shapes! Here are some additional product features:
