Last week, the SafetyLiftinGear team attended the ABTT Theatre Show at Alexandra Palace in London. We think it's safe to say that the event went terrifically well - not only did we meet lots of new clients and interesting people, we actually came away from Alexandra Palace with a new trophy for the SLG cabinet!

Our Duke DCH battery-powered chain hoist was chosen as ABTT's Widget of the Year 2015, which is an award for the most useful product at the show. The trophy we received is pictured above alongside the prize-winning hoist itself (thanks to Meg and Lucy for their modelling skills!)

Here's what the ABTT judges had to say about the Duke DCH:

"The judges were very impressed with this product, and expect to see them in numerous applications and in the hands of many technicians soon, especially considering the budget conscious price tag. The benefits of a lightweight battery-powered motor capable of lifting 250kg or 500kg are huge. This is exactly the type of tool that will help solve many of the problems that working technicians have to deal with daily, offering a safe way to haul without needing large power and control infrastructure."

We were thrilled to receive this award from the Association of British Theatre Technicians, and we hope that everyone else enjoyed this year's show as much as we did!

Whatever you're hoisting, we can help!

We at SafetyLiftinGear consider ourselves to be the lifting experts, and so we have always endeavoured to provide a suitable solution for every heavy lifting job imaginable.

To this end, we offer a wide variety of high-quality hoisting equipment that's perfectly suited to all sorts of circumstances. For example...

• If you're on a tight budget, our budget wire rope hoists will get the job done for less.
  
  
• Our electric hoists are all available in both a 240 volt and a 110 volt option to suit all environments.
  
  
• Need something a little more heavy-duty? Our three phase electric hoists are capable of lifting 1 tonne or more!
  
  
• Those who work in live performance venues such as theatres and concert areas may appreciate our stage rigging hoists. They have all the same properties as our other high-quality hoisting products, but their all-black design will ensure that they blend into the background during the show.
  
  
• Finally, we recently added several Elephant Hoists to our range of hoisting equipment. These heavy-duty hoists are made in Japan, and they have an outstanding reputation for quality and reliability.

If you need something more specific, please get in touch - we often provide made-to-order solutions for clients with special requirements.

Here are some more useful facts and figures:

• Front-loading drum
• Lift speed: 23 metres per minute
• Frequency range: 418MHz, 433MHz, 868MHz
• Rope diameter: 5mm
• Capacitors: 220-240 microF
• 12 month warranty as standard

We never shy away from a high-profile project here at SafetyLiftinGear, and this one's a humdinger. Our lifting equipment is currently being used in the ongoing expansion of Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, which will see the stadium's seating capacity increased to approximately 61,000.

Once completed, this gargantuan project will see the Etihad overtake Arenal's Emirates Stadium to become the 2nd largest ground in the Premier League (Manchester City's local rivals Man United have the #1 spot; Old Trafford has a capacity of more than 75,000). According to mcfc.co.uk, Man City's official website, the aim of the expansion is to "ensure everyone can enjoy watching the Boys in Blue score goals", and additional tickets will be available from the start of the 2015/16 season in August.

Here's what SafetyLiftinGear have provided for this ambitious infrastructure project:

• Lever Hoists (all sizes)
• Chain Blocks (up to 5 tonnes)
• Wire Rope Winches (all sizes)
• Electric Chain Hoists (110V)
• Chain Slings (up to 30 tonnes)
• Webbing Slings (up to 20 tonnes)
• Round Slings (all sizes, up to 50 tonnes)
• Alloy Bow Shackles (up to 35 tonnes)
• Ratchet Lashings (up to 5 tonnes)

We are very excited about this project and wish Man City all the best in the 2015/16 season!
