Spreader Beams - Increasing the Lifting Loads of your Sling

Admin products

Lifting wide, heavy loads requires you to attach a sling to either end of the load enabling you to lift it efficiently. But the problem with this, is that it increases the horizontal forces on the sling because the angles of the sling are less than 90 degrees. These forces add to the weight that's being lifted of the load, so this requires a larger lifting force to lift the load. Spreader Beams are hugely beneficial because it eliminates the amount of horizontal forces applied on slings, allowing you to have a larger lifting force. Spreader Beams are popular with indoor cranes because the beams are built with a single point connection, so they take less crane height to lift due to there being no rigging above the beam.

Here are Safety Lifting Gear we have an excellent range of Modular Spreader Beams, each with a different working load limit and length in beams. All of our beams are versatile and fully certified, and tested. If you're looking for a strong, cost effective Spreader beam, you've come to the right place!

Rope Access Equipment from SafetyLiftinGear

Rope access is the practice of using ropes to access hard-to-reach areas instead of, for example, erecting a scaffold. This method can be a fast, cost-effective solution for all sorts of different tasks, but it's important for rope access workers to use high-quality gear and the right safety equipment at all times to minimise the risk of something going wrong.

Hi-Vis Safety Harnesses: Stay Safe & Be Seen!

Jodie products

We sell a wide variety of safety harnesses here at SafetyLiftinGear, many of which are specifically designed for one particular scenario or line of work such as is this flame-resistant harness.

Perhaps our best-selling specialist harness range is our collection of hi-vis harnesses, and with autumn and winter just around the corner, we're expecting a huge influx of high-visibility sales over the next few months. Visibility is naturally worse during the colder months, when the weather gets worse and the mornings and evenings grow darker, and in these conditions being seen is often just as important a safety concern as protecting oneself from falls.

Our high-visibility safety harnesses are great because they cover both bases. Not only do they help to prevent accidents while working at height, they also increase the wearer's visibility, which is crucial in certain conditions and working environments. Here are a few examples of what we can supply...

2-Point Hi-Vis Safety Harness: Available in yellow or orange.
Quick Release Hi-Vis Harness: Easier to put on and take off! Buy/hire here.
