Fall protection systems are essential when working at height. Indeed, falling from height can result in fatality or at the very least cause extreme injuries. If you're working at height, it is your employer's responsibility to ensure the correct fall protection systems are in place not only for themselves and their workers but for the families of their staff too.
Tragic accidents when working at height cost the UK economy in excess of £800million every year. This combined with the potential loss of lives means it really is essential for businesses to get the appropriate fall protection systems in place to keep their working sites in good order.
SafetyLiftinGear offers a variety of fall arrest equipment, from Permanent Horizontal & Vertical Safety Lines and Rail Anchorage Systems to Guided Fall Arresters. Indeed, we offer every type of fall protection equipment to completely secure your working site and minimise the risk of dangerous falls from height.
However, simply purchasing the appropriate fall protection systems is not enough to ensure your working site is free from risk. These fall arrest products must be installed and secured properly for them to be completely effective, which is why SafetyLiftinGear also offer expert installation services for permanent fall protection systems to ensure your fall arrest system is in place and working properly.

With this in mind, we'd like to introduce the latest addition to our catalogue: Elephant lifting products! Elephant is a very well-respected brand within our industry, and their assorted products - all of which are made in Japan - are known for their exceptional strength and outstanding technical specs.
Elephant specialise in heavy-duty hoisting products: chain blocks, lever hoists, and so forth. When you're lifting and transporting multi-tonne loads, it's reassuring to know that the equipment you're using is built to endure, and that's exactly what Elephant products promise - they're just as strong as the animal they're named for!

We sell a variety of lifting slings here at SafetyLiftinGear, but our polyester webbing slings are certainly the most popular. Webbing slings are lightweight and versatile, but no less strong for it; they can bear extremely large loads and help you to lift these loads in a safe, secure manner.
Now, as with most of the items in SLG's Lifting Equipment section, each of our polyester webbing slings has a different weight limit. This is obviously a very important factor - if the sling you purchase is insufficient for the loads you are lifting, your safety and that of people around you cannot be guaranteed. Maximum weight is clearly identified in the name of each sling (e.g. 5 Tonne Webbing Sling), so be sure to check this before purchasing.
Did you know that we also sell hooks for our lifting slings? We do, and as with the slings themselves, each hook has a different weight capacity. For your convenience, the hooks and the slings are colour-coded, so it's easy to buy a hook and a sling with the same weight limit; for example, our 3 Tonne Sling is coloured yellow, as is the 3 Tonne Sling Hook.
Once again, the consequences of using the wrong hook can be disastrous, so please ensure that you are buying a hook that matches your webbing sling. It's the safest way to go!
It's hard to overestimate the risks associated with heavy lifting. Attempting to lift weighty goods on your own can result in severe injury, and using improper or poor-quality equipment can lead to all kinds of damage, both to the items being lifted and to the people involved.
With this in mind, we scarcely need to explain the importance of high-calibre lifting equipment. We at SafetyLiftinGear sell hundreds of different items to assist with heavy lifting; no matter what you're trying to lift, we almost certainly stock an appropriate piece of equipment for the job, so please don't attempt it without the right gear.
Here are some examples of the equipment that we can supply for heavy lifting purposes:
This list, however, is just the tip of the iceberg - click here to see our full range of heavy lifting equipment.
If you work with cars and/or other heavy vehicles, a good-quality trolley jack is a must-have. The trolley jack is a useful, versatile piece of equipment that can lift multi-tonne loads with ease, and these are used by everyone from your local mechanic to the F1 pit crews at Silverstone.
We sell a variety of different trolley jacks here at SafetyLiftinGear, so no matter what kind of load you are trying to lift, we have an appropriate tool for the job. Available options include:
No matter which product you purchase, though, the following attributes apply to all of our trolley jacks:

PPE stands for ‘Personal Protective Equipment’, and this term essentially refers to anything that you wear to protect yourself in hazardous conditions. PPE is usually provided by your employer if it is needed in the workplace, but it is always good to have an understanding of what PPE is available and when it is appropriate to use it. PPE can include anything from safety helmets to gloves and eye protection! Here are some examples from our own PPE equipment section:
Hardhats
Perhaps the most common form of PPE, hardhats are worn by workers in all areas of the construction industry. Many sites operate a ‘no hat, no job’ policy. Take a look at our range of hard hats by clicking the above button.
Dust Masks & Respirators
Many jobs expose workers to dangerous fumes and/or airborne debris that should not be breathed in. Our PPE range includes a wide variety of dust masks, respirators, and other items that protect against these hazards.
Ear Defenders
If you’ve ever worked with – or even been around – a pneumatic drill, you’ll know how painfully loud they can be. When working with loud machinery, it’s essential to wear appropriate ear protection.
Hi-Viz Clothing
There are all kinds of working conditions that require high-visibility clothing, including roads, railways, airports, and so forth.
This is just a small sample of what you’ll find in our PPE section; as previously mentioned, this term covers just about anything you wear to improve your personal safety, and so there are dozens of different items for all kinds of industries. If you have any further questions about PPE equipment, feel free to email us on sales@safetyliftingear.com.
When working at great heights, it is not only vitally important to secure your own safety, but to consider the safety of others who may be around or below you also. If you were to drop any tools from a height they could cause serious harm to anyone below, but of course there is a way to ensure that doesn't happen! Our professional, durable and strong range of Tool Lanyards can prevent you dropping your tools, and thus minimising the likelihood of a serious injury occurring to anyone below you.
Tool Safety Lanyard Poster: £2.99
Unfortunately, falling tools is a hazard often not considered by those working at height - because naturally, their height safety is the first thing on their minds. A wrench or a spanner dropped from great height could cause property damage and injury at the very least - so this is an imperative consideration that simply must be made to honour height safety whilst working. Our tool lanyards will stop any tools from falling, and we have a variety of tool lanyard types to meet your personal comfort. We have tool lanyards which attach to your wrist or belt, as well as elasticated and retractable tool lanyards.
If you work at height, a tool lanyard should be essential, so make sure you pick yours up today to ensure the safety of yourself as well as those around you.
