Fall Protection Systems: Prevent Height-Related Injuries

Jodie Products

As regular visitors to our blog and followers of our social media pages will know, at SafetyLiftinGear we place a particular emphasis on height safety as a priority in working environments. This is due not only to the sheer volume of accidents caused by poor height safety measures on a regular basis, but is also a reflection of the severe and often fatal nature of these incidents. That is why we make it a priority to promote the dangers of unsuitable height safety measures, and promote the responsible use of proper height safety measures and products.

For those who plan on undertaking tasks which involve working at height, be it as one-off project or as a regular element of your business, it is of vital importance that you are properly prepared with the correct fall protection systems. Whether your task involves working on a rooftop, ledge or at the side of a building, our selection of products will act as a failsafe in the event of a worker fall, preventing serious and fatal injuries. For your convenience, many of our safety line systems are also suitable for use by multiple persons at one time, allowing you to adapt the product to the demands of your job and workforce.

While our fall arresters are available to buy or rent for individuals who already have a fall protection system in place, our safety line, anchorage, and edge protection systems are available in a bespoke package upon request. Simply fill-in a price application form, and we will be able to provide you with a competitive price to suit all of your individual needs. For those who require a helping hand with the correct installation of these systems, we also offer a full installation service for many of our fall arrest products, so you can be sure that your new equipment is installed safely and correctly.

robin Products

We've just added some new products to our extensive selection of equipment, so we thought that we'd tell you a bit more about them in today's blog.

5 Tonne Heavy Duty Pallet Truck

The first of our new items is this 5 tonne pallet truck, which has a fork dimension of 550mm x 1150mm. Designed to be both durable and user-friendly, this truck has a 3 position control handle for easy movement, as well as a set of tough polyurethane wheels and rollers. It has a minimum fork height of 90mm, and a maximum height of 190 mm. The pallet truck is available to hire or buy, and come with a 12 month warranty.

New Floor Cranes

In addition to the new pallet truck, we also have a new range of folding floor cranes, available in 0.5 tonne, 1 tonne, and 2 tonne options. These numbers denote their WLL, but keep in mind that the capacity reduces as the jib is extended. Each floor crane is lightweight and portable for your convenience, with folding legs for easy, compact storage, and the specifications for each one are as follows:

0.5 Tonne Crane

Max lift height (min jib extension) = 1800mm

Max lift height (max jib extension) = 2200mm

Lifting Capacity Range = 125kg - 0.5tonne

1 Tonne Crane

Max lift height (min jib extension) = 1860mm

Max lift height (max jib extension) = 2270mm
