Today, we want to talk you through our selection of high-quality load arrestors from Globestock - these robust products are designed to make sure that heavy loads don't fall when being lifted, even if the load's primary support system fails. 

How do they work?

Each G-Guard fall arrestor consists of a retractable safety line that works in a similar way to a seatbelt in a car. If a load drops suddenly whilst attached to this line, the load arrestor's fall protection brake will automatically kick in and prevent the load from crashing to the ground. The brake's shock-absorbent properties minimise the force of the load arrestor, protecting the load from damage and the user from injury.
 

Why should I use a load arrestor?

Back-up measures like these fall arrestors are important in case your lifting equipment suddenly fails while you are raising a heavy or valuable load. These safety lines will ensure that your load does not fall unexpectedly where, as we've already mentioned, it may cause damage, injury, or even worse. 
 
Although you might not think you need a back-up load arrestor, you'll be thankful you purchased one when you're saving money later down the line. Many of our customers work with valuable equipment in theatres, in nuclear power stations, in building and home renovation etc.
 
Now, imagine you're trying to hoist a £10,000 chandelier, a centrepiece in someone's home. Your primary lifting device fails and glass shatters everywhere... Not only is this a huge safety risk, but it's also the type of precious load you or your clients may not be able to replace in the event of an accident. This is why it's important to have the right safety precautions in place!
 

How strong are SafetyLiftinGear's load arrestors?

We have a huge range of different G-Guard load arrestors to choose from, each with its own specifications and weight load limit. Let's take a look at some of the leading products in this range.
 

G.Guard 300kg Load Arrestor

For lighter loads up to 300kg (stage lighting for example), this is the perfect load arrestor for you.

 

G.Guard 500kg Load Arrestor

Prevent the free-fall of loads up to 500kg with this load arrestor.

 

G.Guard 500kg Load Arrestor

These 500kg load arrestors offer you slightly more wire length, perfect for construction sites where loads needed to be lifted to heights of 18mtrs or higher.

 

G.Guard 1000kg Load Arrestor 

For heavy-duty lifting jobs, this load arrestor is unbeatable in load capacity and length!

new products

 

With summer reaching its swansong, here at SafetyLiftinGear.com, we’ve decided to welcome in the autumn the only way we know how – with more new lifting products, of course!

This time, to broaden our lifting horizons even further, we’ve expanded our collection of products from German brand, Pfaff.

Renowned for their strength, quality and durability, Pfaff has gained a solid reputation for their heavy-duty lifting gear – and these products only strengthen that status.

 

Pfaff Pallet Movers

When it comes to heavy lifting, Pfaff is a go-to brand for many. Take a look at these newly listed Pfaff pallet trucks and see just why!

Pfaff 'Silverline' 2500kg Pallet Truck

Measuring 540mm x 1150mm and weighing just 68kg, the Pfaff Silverline 2500kg packs some serious pound for pound strength, capable of lifting over 36 times its own weight.

Featuring a high-quality epoxy coating, rubber rollers for noise reduction and an ergonomic handle for maximum comfort, no stone has been left unturned in pursuit of usability.

The one-hand control mechanism also has a 210-degree rotation for manoeuvrability and even features an adjustable pressure control valve to prevent overloading. It also boasts a precision lowering valve, allowing you to easily control the lowering speed.

Pfaff 'Silverline' 2000kg 'Extra Wide' Pallet Truck

This model, as you may guess by the “Extra Wide” moniker, is slightly broader than our last entry. In fact, it’s almost 60% broader measuring 850mm wide.

This additional range makes it perfect for lifting and moving specialist items, such as American pallets or brickyard pallets.

Outside of width, the Pfaff Silverline Extra Wide is much like the Silverline 2500kg, offering an ergonomic handle, adjustable pressure control valve and one-hand controllability.

However, while this wide span does make it useful for girthier items, it’s worth noting that this model does have a lower weight capacity, topping out at 2000kg.

Pfaff 'Proline' 1500kg 'Low Profile' Pallet Truck

Part of the Proline range, the Low Profile model is tailor-made for lifting pallets with a notably lower height, with a lowered fork height of just 51mm.

Meanwhile, this model also features a high-performance hydraulic pump, complete with a chromium-plated piston and pressure relief valve.

It also boasts superior handling capabilities, with a steering angle of 105 degrees to each side, providing accurate movement even in confined spaces.

Pfaff 'Proline' 2000kg 'Quick Lift' Pallet Truck

With a maximum load capacity of 2 tonnes, the Pfaff Quick Lift has the weight advantage over the Low Profile; however, it also more than lives up to its name.

Providing speedy transportation of pallets under demanding conditions, the Quick Lift is capable of hoisting 200kg in just two strokes of the handle.

While this pallet truck does feature many of the perks of the Low Profile – from steering angle to hydraulic pump – it also has some handy additions.

Notably, this model also features a driving/park brake that’s easily operated from the control handle.

Pfaff 'Proline' 2500kg 'Parking Brake' Pallet Truck

With a heavy load capacity and sturdy frame, the Proline Parking Brake model is perfect for moving and transporting palletised goods on unsteady surfaces, such as ramps, slopes and on lorries.

With most of the perks of the Quick Lift (minus the quick lift function), this pallet truck is a versatile option that provides safe manoeuvrability and stability with extreme strength for heavy-duty lifting.

Anyone that works in a factory, warehouse or anywhere involving repetitive tool processes will be well aware of the benefits of spring balancers. If not, it’s high time you get educated!

Spring balancers allow you to easily and efficiently use a suspended tool with very little effort or exertion; e.g. a welding gun on a production line, paint spraying equipment in a garage or even X-ray apparatus.

Benefitting from an up/down freedom of motion, this piece of equipment can be adjusted to stay in position or retract based on the needs of the worker and nature of the task, taking the weight off the worker to quite literally lighten the load.
