Perhaps the single most important thing to bear in mind when you're shopping for lifting equipment is that each and every product has its own WLL (Weight Load Limit). Whether you're purchasing a chain sling, an electric hoist, or some other form of lifting gear, it's absolutely crucial to check the WLL, as this tells you the maximum weight you'll safely be able to lift using the item in question. If you need to transport a load weighing 5 tonnes, each piece of lifting equipment that you use to do so must have a weight load limit of AT LEAST 5 tonnes. Exceeding the WLL of your lifting gear may cause it fail, which can obviously cause a lot of damage.

If you're planning to lift a particularly heavy load, you may struggle to find equipment that's capable of safely supporting that much weight. Those who visit our 4 Leg Chain Sling department, for example, may initially think we only provide slings for weights of up to 17 tonnes.

But 17 tonnes is merely the highest weight load limit available in our standard range. We're actually capable of supplying chain slings (and many other lifting products) that are suitable for much heavier loads - it's just that these products are made-to-order, so you'll have to get in touch with us directly.

If your project is too big for our standard range of lifting gear, we encourage you to contact us and discuss your requirements with a member of the SafetyLiftinGear team. We have providing lifting equipment for a huge variety of large and/or unusual briefs in the past, and we'd be more than happy to provide a bespoke solution to suit your needs.

A few weeks back, we introduced you to our new range of tool lanyards from Ergodyne, a Minnesota company renowned for their "tenacious work gear". These lanyards proved very popular indeed, and so it gives us great pleasure to announce that we've just added a whole range of additional Ergodyne products to our Height Safety department!

Here's a quick run-down of our newest additions:

SafetyLiftinGear's ratchet lashing straps are widely used by numerous transport companies in the UK and beyond. Rest assured that, if you're transporting a heavy load and you want to make sure it stays put, we can provide the perfect solution.

Because failure to restrain the load(s) you're transporting can have grave consequences. We've seen many photos of heavy loads that came loose in transit because weren't properly restrained; this results in damaged goods and, worse still, road accidents. According to gov.uk, unrestrained objects falling from vehicles caused a total of 22,000 road impact incidents in Britain over the course of 2013.

Simply put, our ratchet lashing straps help to protect your cargo and minimise the likelihood of an accident while you're on the road. They're an extremely important safety consideration!

Our Load Restraint department is home to more than a dozen different ratchet lashing products, all of which are fully tested and certified before sale. Some of these products are supplied with claw hooks, rave hooks or chassis hooks; others are endless. All are made of high-strength polyester webbing, ensuring superb performance across the board.

It's important to always heed the MBS (Minimum Breaking Strength) of the ratchet straps you purchase - this figure represents the weight capacity of the strap, and should not be exceeded under any circumstances. The MBS of our ratchet lashing straps ranges from 500kg to 10 tonnes.

Yes - we provide wear sleeves and corner protectors to help you protect your ratchet straps and extend their lifespan.

Our ratchet lashing straps are very easy to use, as this video demonstrates:
