Welder hospitalised after lifting sling breaks

We sell a huge range of lifting equipment here at SafetyLiftinGear - after all, we didn't choose our name for nothing!

It can be quite difficult to navigate a product list that's several hundred items long, so rather than leaving you to scour our extensive collection on your own, we thought we'd put our most popular lifting products right here to make your life a little easier. Here are five of the best-selling product ranges from our Lifting Equipment department:

Polyester Webbing Slings

 As far as lifting equipment is concerned, these sturdy lifting slings are our top sellers by quite some distance. Polyester webbing is a tough yet lightweight material that's ideal for all sorts of heavy lifting tasks; our slings are also very shock-absorbent, minimising the risk of damage.

Chainblocks

 Our block and tackle section is full of robust, reliable chainblocks that make heavy lifting a quick, easy, and - above all - safe endeavour. Maximum weight capacity ranges from 500kg to 7.5 tonnes.

Beam Trolleys

SafetyLiftinGear's beam trolleys are fully adjustable, allowing you to use them with practically any beam. Many of these products come with a 2 year warranty as standard, so you know that you're getting outstanding quality for your cash!

Polyester Round Slings

 While not quite as popular as the webbing slings (see above), our polyester round slings still sell very well, and no wonder - these high-endurance lifting slings are strong, versatile, and can lift loads of up to 30 tonnes in some cases!

Lever Hoists

Last but not least is SLG's world-class collection of lever hoists. Said collection is very versatile indeed; whether you need a heavy-duty lifting solution or something lightweight and cost-effective that gets the job done at the lowest cost possible, our Lever Hoist department has something to suit you!

Remember how, back in April, we told you that SafetyLiftinGear is an official partner of The Bloodhound Project? Remember seeing the photos of our lifting equipment in action, helping to make this record-breaking supersonic car a reality? Yes?

Well, we're pleased to announce that a date has been set for Bloodhound's world debut. The car will be making its first public appearance at Newquay Aerohub on Tuesday 17 November, 2015. This event will consist of a 200mph trial - that may sound fast, but it's actually not even a quarter of the final target. Bear in mind that the Bloodhound team are aiming to eventually hit 1,000mph!

After the trial in Cornwall, Bloodhound will be fitted with air brakes and winglets before being sent to South Africa for high-speed testing (that's right - 200mph doesn't even count as 'high speed'!) in the summer of 2016. After that, it's full speed ahead - no pun intended - for a world land speed record attempt!

We at SafetyLiftinGear have been working in the lifting industry for decades, and this experience has helped us to become one of the leading suppliers of lifting equipment in the UK and beyond. Of course, there are lots of other companies to choose from when you're looking for lifting gear, but we firmly believe that SafetyLiftinGear is the best possible choice.

Here are five reasons why:

1) High Quality
Quality and reliability are crucial factors when it comes to lifting gear. You don't want a hoist or a sling that's going to let you down right in the middle of a job - who knows how much damage that could cause? We manufacture many of our products ourselves, so we can personally vouch for the quality of these items; products that are sourced from other suppliers (such as our Elephant hoists) have been chosen for their renowned, market-leading reliability, so no matter what you purchase from SafetyLiftinGear, you won't be disappointed.

2) Value for Money
We don't describe our lifting equipment as 'cheap', but our products do represent excellent value for money. SafetyLiftinGear's prices are as low as can be, and the outstanding average lifespan of our lifting gear ensures that you won't have to spend any additional money on replacements any time soon.

3) Buy Online or In Person
We like to be flexible, and so we offer our customers several different ways to buy. You can order directly from our website and pay online; you can place an order on the website and pick it up in person ('Click & Collect'); or you can just pop into one of our depots and make your purchase there.

4) Demonstration Videos
Have you seen SafetyLiftinGear's YouTube channel? We've uploaded loads of useful videos in the last couple of years, and they're all designed to help you get the most from our products. For example, if you're not sure how to use your new scaffold hoist or chain block, all you have to do is hop over to YouTube and let our staff walk you through it.

5) Ongoing Customer Support
Some companies stop caring about their customers as soon as the money's in the till. Not SafetyLiftinGear, though - we want to make sure that you're totally happy with our service, and there are loads of different ways to get in touch with our team if you need any help. You can telephone 0808 123 69 69, email sales@safetyliftingear.com, or message us on Twitter or Facebook.
