The new Edge Fully-Electric Battery Pallet Truck is the perfect alternative to a hand pallet truck and has many new features that our older battery powered pallet trucks lack. In this blog, we provide an overview of this exquisite new pallet truck to show you why it’s worth investing today!

The Edge Fully-Electric Battery Pallet Truck offers effortless movement of light and medium materials, a fresh, contemporary appearance and it comes with a maintenance-free 24V/20Ah Lithium battery.

• The integrated battery maintenance system makes controlling all aspects of the lithium battery easy.
  
  
• The battery socket is designed to make charging simple. You are not required to remove the battery from its case to charge it, which means charging on-the-go and in between tasks is not a problem. Having said this, the battery, when fully charged, should last between 3 and 6 hours which is plenty of time to complete any moving or lifting tasks.

This truck offers uncompromising build-quality – the casing is made of stamped steel which ensures that all the internal components are secure and protected from bumps or scrapes. The strong steel apron protects the feet of the operator while the truck is being used.

The Edge Fully-Electric Battery Powered Pallet Truck has an impressive maximum capacity of 1500kg, can lift up to 115mm and can operate on ramps of a 4%-16% incline, making it ideal for use in a variety of environments.

 It also has a very small turning radius of 1274/1330mm so it can be used in small and confined spaces such as elevators, and it also has a minimized service weight of 123kg meaning it is ideal for use on delivery lorry tail lifts/platforms for the distribution of goods, without sacrificing the transported weight.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we aim to meet the needs of every single customer - and, with a customer base as diverse as ours, that gives us a colossal variety of different needs to meet! We understand that everybody's requirements are different, and we pride ourselves on stocking a truly comprehensive collection of lifting equipment, offering a suitable solution for any situation. In this blog, we talk about the different battery powered hoists we stock and some of their benefits.

We supply many different types of hoists to cover the vast majority of weights and loads, but one thing that almost all of our electric hoist products have in common is the fact that they need to be plugged in, which can be frustrating if you need to carry out lifting work away from a power source.

There is an exception. Our battery powered chain hoist is specifically designed for use in areas where mains electricity is unavailable; its batteries (which are included) are rechargeable, and it can lift its full capacity for 25 minutes on one charge.

We have two battery-powered hoists to choose from, capable of lifting different load weights:

250kg Battery Powered Hoist 

500kg Battery Powered Hoist 

Other Benefits of Our Battery Powered Hoists:

• Weight - Our battery powered hoists are incredibly lightweight, weighing only 6.7kg and 8kg respectively.

• Speed - These battery powered hoists are capable of lifting loads at 4.5 metres per minute and 2.2 metres per minute respectively.

• Safety - Both battery powered hoists feature an emergency stop button & friction overload clutch to ensure maximum safety during operation.

These hoists are portable and suitable for a wide range of loads. When you purchase your chain hoist from the SafetyLiftinGear website, please ensure that the product you have selected is suitable for the weights you intend to lift. Give us a call on 0117 9381 600 if you have any questions about these battery powered hoists, a member of our team will be happy to help you.

When it comes to transporting important goods and materials, using suitable, reliable load-restraint equipment is essential. If sub-standard equipment is used, the risk of your load becoming loose and potentially damaged is increased, which can have very negative consequences for the person transporting the goods and the more importantly, the people who are travelling around them. Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we supply a comprehensive range of load restraint equipment that you can trust to properly secure your important loads. One of the items that we have in our Load Restraint category is Polypropylene Rope, available in a variety of lengths and thicknesses, perfect for a wide range of restraint applications. If you’re wondering what polypropylene rope is, however, continue reading to find out and some of its benefits!

Polypropylene Rope & Its Benefits

Polypropylene rope is a fantastic general-purpose piece of rope equipment that is suited for a number of applications in the domestic, business and leisure domain. As mentioned, it comes in a variety of lengths and thicknesses, making it a strong, sturdy choice that provides a number of advantages which sets it apart from other similar types of rope. We take a look at a number of these below:

• Rot-Proof Material – Polypropylene is a great material for load restraint as it’s completely rot-proof! This comes as a massive benefit for long-term use and storage, particularly when used outdoors where the possibility of it being regularly soaked is high. Other types of rope such as hemp rope, for example, will not be able to withstand such conditions due to bacterial growth. Polypropylene rope, on the other hand, is able to maintain its capabilities and strength for much longer.

• Ability to Float - At first, this may not seem to be a great advantage, but if you need a rope for boating purposes, a rope which does not float will not last long at all. As polypropylene is able to be easily retrieved, it makes it a natural choice for ropes used in and around water. It’s bright colour also enables it to be easily seen in harsh ambient weather, low-light conditions or against the dark backdrop of water.

• Robust Construction – One of the ropes most notable benefits is the way it is made. Polypropylene is a hardy polymer which is resistant to many types of glue and solvents. The rope is woven from three-strand yarn making it extremely durable and strong. Polypropylene also has a higher melting point than most common polymers, making it resistant to heat and friction. It also will not splinter, which makes it more user-friendly, prolonging its life even when frequently knotted and untied.

These are just a few of the many benefits that polypropylene rope has over its counterparts and why it is such a great option when it comes to load restraint. You’ll be glad to hear that our Polypropylene Rope collection consists of many variations, perfect for any task.
