Festival season is just about heating up in the UK, so you'll want to make sure that you have everything you need before you set of for a weekend of cider, music and the abandonment of personal hygiene! While I'm sure we'd all like to believe that we could survive Bear Grylls style, escaping the 'distractions' of the 21st Century for a few days, it turns out that packing for a festival is pretty hard work. Of course, it doesn't help that the delightful unpredictability of UK conditions mean that you're probably going to have to pack clothes for both torrential rain and blistering heat....

What's even harder, is when you actually get to the festival and have to abandon comfort of your air-conditioned coach, only to struggle with backpacks, tents and more, making the long journey to your pitch. If you've thought about buying a festival festival trolley before, you may have disregarded it as 'more hard work', with visions of wheels flying off without notice and leaving you stranded in the mud. We're here to prove you wrong, by introducing our new Folding Festival Trolley Carts, which are not only durable, but easy to store and transport!

Here are the benefits of our new trolleys:

  • Easy to Navigate - Both of our folding carts have swivel wheels, which means that you'll be able to easily change direction with ease!

  • Easy to Clean - We all know that festivals can get muddy, which is why the 600 denier polyester material on our carts is totally washable!

  • Perfect for Even Ground - Our folding trolley design is available with BIB BOY rubber wheels, which are ideal for navigating uneven terrain.

  • Easy to Store - Thanks to the ability to fold down our trolleys, you'll be able to transport and store them easily, which means no hassle with taking up space in your tent, or fitting it in a coach luggage compartment.

  • Heavy Duty Design - The sturdy steel design means that both the standard and BIG BOY trolleys can hold up to 70KG, which means that it can carry the weight of an 11 stone man! (Don't get any ideas about letting your friends carry you to the camp..)
See our trolley in action here:


Of course our folding trolleys aren't just suitable for festivals of course, they're also great for:

Gardening - Provides and easy means of ransporting plants, tools etc
Trips to the Beach - Getting all your beach gear to and from the car
Camping Trips - Great way to carry all your tents, sleeping bags, stoves etc.
Shopping - Ideal for transporting large items on foot (perfect for students moving into halls)
and more!

Garden Trolleys
 
Our heavy-duty garden trolleys are among the most popular products in the entire SafetyLiftinGear catalogue, and it's not difficult to see why: these robust little carts lend themselves to countless uses in all kinds of different environments!
 
Here are just five examples of the many places where we've seen our garden trolleys being utilised:
  • Music festivals. If you've ever been to festival like Glastonbury or T in the Park, you'll know that the car park is very often located quite a long way from the festival site itself. The long hike from car to campsite can be a huge pain, particularly if you've got a tonne of camping gear and/or beer to carry. Fortunately, there is a better way - as the photograph below shows, our utility carts are ideal for transporting your festival luggage around the field!

  • Trade shows. If you're showing off your company's products at a show or exhibition, our utility carts make it far easier to get them from your van to your stall inside the venue. 

  • Construction sites. Our trolleys come with pneumatic tyres that are capable of travelling over just about any type of terrain with ease. This property makes them perfect for ferrying objects around building sites!

  • Family days out. As any parents in the audience will already know, taking the family for a fun day out at the beach or the local park means bringing all manner of toys, snacks, coats, and other stuff along with you. A garden trolley from SafetyLiftinGear can make all of these items far more convenient to transport, and as you can see from the photos below, it can also be used as a means of carting the kids around once their legs get tired!

  • Gardening. As you'd probably guess from the name, our garden trolleys are also very handy when you're in the garden. Our sturdy garden dump cart is a great alternative to the more traditional wheelbarrow, and no matter what you're lugging around your garden (or garden centre), it's bound to be more than up to the task.

Edge protection system

We at SafetyLiftinGear were recently sub-contracted by a firm called H Sweet & Sons Ltd to provide a safe working area for a team of solar panel installers who were putting in a new set of panels on the roof of a building in Corsham, Wiltshire.

This job called for two permanent installations:
  • A permanent edge protection system. Since the roof did not have a parapet wall of at least 1.1 metres, we were asked to install a permanent edge protection barrier in order to comply with height safety regulations. We clamped the guardrail's base plates to the standing seam roof so as to avoid penetrating or damaging the roof sheets themselves.

  • A safe walkway. H Sweet & Sons also asked us to provide a level, slip-resistant walkway that would make it easy for maintenance staff to access the solar panels in future. Again, we clamped the walking surface to the standing seam roof sheets so as to avoid any permanent damage. 

Slip-resistant walkway

The walkway we used for this project is specifically designed for modern roof types such as trapezoidal profile composite or built-up-on-site and standing seam roofs. It is fully compliant with EN516:2006 requirements, and it can be used on a number of differently-shaped roofs (including flat, sloping, and barrel-shaped), with steps and a traverse option allowing for virtually any roof configuration between 0 and 35 degrees.

Not only did these two installations ensure that the H Sweet team were able to install these new solar panels safely and efficiently, they will also provide a safe working environment for the service personnel who'll be maintaining this solar panel system going forward.

SafetyLiftinGear supply and install a wide range of fall protection systems to meet any and all requirements. Please contact us today to request a quotation for your height safety solution.
