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!

We recently told you about our involvement in The Bloodhound Project, a British initiative that's aiming to 1) break the world land speed record, and 2) inspire young people to enter the fields of science, engineering, and mathematics. SafetyLiftinGear are the Project's official suppliers of material handling and lifting equipment, which means that a wide variety of our products are being used to create the rocket-powered car that will hopefully hit the 1,000mph mark later this year.

One of those products is a heavy-duty lifting beam, which was designed to lift the Bloodhound's engine chassis into place. The beam was supplied, inspected, and tested by the SafetyLiftinGear team, and as you can see, it even has our name on it:

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:

• 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.

Vertikal Days, the UK's #1 industry event for lifting and access specialists, will be taking place in Merseyside next week (13th & 14th of May). The SafetyLiftinGear team will be there - this is one of the biggest events in our industry, after all - and if you're attending, you'll be able to find us on stand 509A for the duration of the show.

The Vertikal Days show is entirely focused on lifting/access products, and SafetyLiftinGear will be exhibiting alongside hundreds of other leading providers. Here are some of the products we'll be showing off:

• Chain Slings: We have a range of single leg, 2 leg, and 4 leg chain slings, which can be used to lift heavy loads safely and securely. We will also be displaying a new range of G100 high strength chain slings at Vertikal Days.
  
  
• Webbing Slings: Our polyester webbing slings are extremely tough, yet lightweight and flexible.
  
  
• Electric Hoists: We offer single phase and three phase hoists for a variety of purposes.
  
  
• Chain Block Hoists: SafetyLiftinGear supply a selection of heavy-duty chain blocks from Elephant, a renowned manufacturer with a reputation for reliability.

Additionally, we will be running a special promotion on cherry picker/access platform safety harness kits, AND we will be displaying our new water/windproof jacket safety harness. If you're heading up to the Vertikal Days show next week, make sure you visit stand 509A for all of the above and more!
