We were recently asked to provide some specialist glass lifting equipment to a customer near London. They needed to lift several large glass panels into position, and so they came to SafetyLiftinGear to see what we could do for them.
Now, we have a large range of products in our Lifting Equipment department, but some projects call for something unique. This was one such occasion, and so the staff at our East London depot designed and manufactured for our client a bespoke 500kg cantilever lifting beam that would meet the requirements of this particular brief.
All of this equipment was supplied by SafetyLiftinGear (except for the glass sucker).
In addition to the cantilever, we also supplied a complete equipment package that included lifting chains and shackles to assist with the job.
As all of this demonstrates, we don't just sell lifting equipment here at SafetyLiftinGear - we provide a comprehensive service that's individually tailored to each and every customer. Browse our Lifting section now, or contact us to discuss your specific requirement. No matter what you need, we will provide it!
Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we aim to meet the needs of every single customer - and, with a customer base as diverse as ours, that gives us a colossal variety of different needs to meet! We understand that everybody's requirements are different, and we pride ourselves on stocking a truly comprehensive collection of lifting equipment, offering a suitable solution for any situation.
Our electric hoist range is a great example. We supply many different types of hoist to cover the vast majority of weights and loads, but one thing that almost all of our electric hoist products have in common is the fact that they need to be plugged in.
However, there is an exception. Our battery powered chain hoist is specifically design for use in areas where mains electricity is unavailable; its batteries (included) are rechargeable, and it can lift its full capacity for 25 minutes on one charge.
We have two battery powered hoists to choose from:
These hoists are portable, lightweight, and suitable for a wide range of loads. When you purchase your chain hoist from the SafetyLiftinGear website, please ensure that the product you have selected is suitable for the weights you intend to lift.
Here's an inspiring story for the start of the week. Shaun Gash is a 44-year-old man from Lancaster who recently completed 'Born Survivor', a gruelling military-style obstacle course that takes place over 10 kilometres of mud, river, and rough terrain in Cheshire.

The twist? Shaun Gash is paralysed from the waist down, and completed the course using only his arms, an off-road wheelchair, and the help of his team mates.

The main advantage of an adjustable beam clamp is the fact that in can be securely fastened to steel girders and beams without any drilling or welding.
How, you ask? Well, it's quite simple. If you purchase a beam clamp from SafetyLiftinGear, it will have an adjusting bar threaded through the centre. This bar can be turned to adjust the width of your clamp; all you have to do is make the clamp wide enough to fit your beam/girder, then tighten the adjusting bar to ensure that clamp is securely attached.
Once the clamp has been applied, you'll be able to use it for a variety of different lifting tasks. Attaching your clamp to a lifting device will allow you to position the beam or girder to which you've clamped it; alternatively, you could attach your clamp to a pre-existing structure, hang a hoist from the clamp, and then use this system to lift other loads.
The clamps that we sell have maximum weight capacities ranging from 1 to 10 tonnes; click here to see the full range and purchase your beam clamp online.
You might be surprised by the sheer variety of customers we cater to here at SafetyLiftinGear. Naturally, we take a lot of orders from the construction industry, but building sites are far from the only places where SLG products can be found!
Our heavy-duty garden carts are an excellent example of this. They are designed to carry heavy loads over uneven terrain, and while they obviously have their uses on construction sites (e.g. moving bricks, tools, and other equipment from A to B), these uses are just the tip of the iceberg. Here are three other places where our garden carts do their share of heavy lifting:
