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:

• 250kg Battery Powered Hoist
• 500kg Battery Powered Hoist

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. Click here to learn more about this spectacular accomplishment - you can see the bespoke safety harness that we made for Shaun 40 seconds into the video!

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:

• Gardens and garden centres. As the name suggests, our garden carts are perfectly suited to garden work. Our dump cart is particularly handy for moving garden waste and compost around.
  
  
• Farms. We frequently supply garden carts to the agricultural sector - the long-handled design of our utility carts makes them far easier for farmers to use than traditional wheelbarrows (largely because you don't have to lift up our carts to move them around!)
  
  
• Music festivals. Our garden carts start to look a lot more trendy when you realise that they've been used to help some of the UK's biggest musical festivals to run smoothly! A lot of work goes on behind the scenes of your favourite festival, and SLG's LoadSurfer carts make it that much easier to move everything around.

There are numerous different ways to lift a heavy load, but chain slings tend to be the weapon of choice in high-temperature environments and other challenging conditions. Our lifting chains are extremely heavy-duty, and suitable for use in a variety of different environments, from construction sites to factories and warehouses.

There are lots of different products in SafetyLiftinGear's Chains & Rigging section - here's a quick guide to each of them:

• Chain Slings: These sturdy chains come with heavy-duty hooks for each attachment. Weight capacities for 1 leg slings range from 1.5 to 8 tonnes; however, we also sell...
  
  
• 2 Leg Chain Slings: These slings have two chains and two hooks. Our strongest 2 leg sling has a maximum weight capacity of just over 11 tonnes.
  
  
• 4 Leg Chain Slings: These premium chain slings have four hooks and are capable of lifting even heavier loads (max. capacities range from 3.15 tonnes to 17 tonnes).
  
  
• Wire Rope Slings: Made of galvanised wire rope, these cost-effective slings are a good choice for smaller loads (up to around 5,000kg).

We also sell a range of accessories to complement our lifting chains, including an assortment of hooks, eyebolts, plates, and more. Click here to see our full range, or call 0808 123 69 69 for further information.
