If you have pallets of equipment that require lifting and transporting around your site but are unable to do so because a standard forklift truck simply cannot reach, then a crane fork attachment is exactly what you need!
A crane pallet fork is a suspended piece of equipment that is used to lift pallets in areas of a workplace that a regular forklift cannot and is available in two different forms; manual balancing and automatic balancing, depending on the user’s needs. Manual balancing crane forks require the operator to adjust the hook position on the forks to suit the desired load, ensuring it is lifted correctly and is not dangerously leaning forward, which brings the risk of the load accidentally dropping. Automatic/self-balancing crane forks, on the other hand, require no manual interference to level the load. They do, however, require to carry a load which weighs 20% of the maximum safe working load (SWL) to work correctly and efficiently, e.g. a 2-tonne crane fork must be loaded with a minimum of 400kg. The automatic balancing feature is engaged by a pressurised gas spring once the load is placed onto the forks. The load will always be in the centre of the forks, ensuring safe movement and transport.
Here at SLG, we supply a range of high-quality crane forks, manufactured with the highest quality of steel by Boscaro Italia to ensure both robustness and reliability. Available with SWL’s up to 3-tonnes, these crane forks are self-balancing, so require to intervention when it comes to levelling your loads. As well as automatic balancing, these forks also feature fully adjustable tines from 340mm to 1600mm in width, with a locking mechanism to secure your desired fork position. Each one of our crane forks is also equipped with net-friendly attachments to allow the easy use of safety nets to protect against falling loose items. Compliant to BS EN 13155, our collection of crane pallet forks is fully tested and meet all industry standard requirements.

The good news is, Safety Lifting Gear offers the equipment you need to make lifting loads upstairs easier and more efficient! Read on, to find out How to Safely Carry Loads Upstairs:

If you find yourself in need of equipment to safely lift a heavy load, it's important that you get hold of the correct apparatus to tackle the task - in many cases, what you need is a chain block.
While a chain block (also known as a chain hoist) has many uses in factories, worksites and garages, we understand that not everyone requires the use of a chain block permanently. That's why SafetyLiftinGear provides the option to rent a wide variety of chain blocks to suit your particular needs.
A chain block is a lifting and lowering apparatus which can help move heavy loads weighing up to a few tonnes. They must be attached to a rated lifting point or a mobile gantry - also available to hire from SafetyLiftinGear.
When renting a chain block hoist, it is important to decide whether you need a manual or electric chain block.
Manual chain hoists use a number of cogs to exert force over a heavy object allowing for accurate lifting and lowering of heavy loads. The load is lifted by the user pulling on a hand chain to operate the machine. This lifting technique will get your job done, and manual chain blocks are generally cheaper to rent when compared with the electric chain blocks that are available to hire. However, the process will inevitably be slower.
So, if you're in a hurry, or have multiple loads to move - renting an electric chain block from SLG is the best option for you. An electric chain block works on the same premise as a manual hoist - the addition of electricity simply means it works automatically and can be easily managed through the use of a remote control.

Hiring a chain block from SafetyLiftinGear allows yows you to get a one-off job done without the commitment of purchasing a chain block outright. Our rental services are top-notch with fast delivery, clear instructions and great value prices. When browsing our chainblock page, simply click 'hire me' to find all rental details.
