These heavy-duty goods carrying cages are designed to make transporting un-palletised products easy. Give them a go and we guarantee they'll revolutionise the way you move goods around your workplace or warehouse!

Simply load your items into the secure cage and use either the four lifting lugs or four pockets to attach your cage to a crane or forklift. Once safely on board, you can move your load to the desired location with ease!

Depending on your needs, these cages come in two capacities:

• Eichinger 1500kg Carrying Cage
• Eichinger 3000kg Carrying Cage

For added convenience, we offer a cage with an additional ramp to make loading and offloading goods even easier!

If you only need a carrying cage for a quick or one-off job, then you can hire one (rather than purchasing). Simply fill in our hire enquiry form and we'll be in touch with a quote for your job.

A few safety tips:

• Before loading the cage make sure it is on a firm, level surface.
• Only lift or lower the load when the load is safely on board. 
• Make sure the crane chains are connected properly or that the cage is properly mounted on your forklift before moving.

You can find all the information you need about our three goods carrying cages by clicking the button below. If you have any questions about these carrying cages, don't hesitate to give us a call.

Pramac is a wonderfully dynamic company that understands the culture of quality, respects the environment and provides excellent all-round customer satisfaction.

Pramac Electric Pallet Trucks

If you’ve come across electric pallet trucks before, you’ll know how advantageous they are when compared with traditional manual pallet trucks. Having the pallet truck do some of the work for you reduces the likelihood of an injury and gets the material handling job done quickly!

Pramac’s electric pallet trucks are specially designed for use in confined spaces like trailers or lorries. They are compact, lightweight and incredibly easy to use making them an asset in all kinds of workplaces! We currently stock 4 different Pramac electric pallet trucks.

Pramac Electric Stackers

Electric stackers are perfect for lifting and manoeuvring pallets in restricted places with ease! The Pramac ones we offer are designed with a technopolymer ergonomic tiller for exceptional operator comfort. A ‘Turtle Mode’ switch is offered on Pramac electric stackers as standard, this allows the stacker to travel up the tiller in an upright position. 

We currently stock 7 different Pramac electric stackers, so be sure to head to our Pramac Material Handling section and take a look and shop now!

If you’ve found your way to this blog, you’re likely wondering “what is material handling?”. Material handling can be defined as 'the efficient movement, storage and control of materials throughout the entire supply chain, from receiving to disposal'. This involves using manual, automated or mechanised systems to ensure that the right item ends up in the right place, at the right time, in the right condition.

What Industries Use Material Handling?

Material handling is used across nearly all sectors, but is particularly prevalent in industries like manufacturing, warehousing, construction, logistics and retail. In these industries, material handling is used to transport, load and store both raw materials and finished goods. 

How to Optimise Material Handling

You can optimise material handling by using automation and technology to reduce manual labour. This could be in the form of using technology to design and optimise warehouse layouts or even integrating systems that can service and maintain equipment.

You can also use a variety of different equipment to complete material handling tasks safely and efficiently. Material handling equipment is the best way to ensure that you are transporting your loads safely and efficiently. 

Material handling equipment can be broken down into four categories:

• Transport equipment
• Positioning equipment
• Control/protection equipment
• Storage equipment

At SafetyLiftinGear, we specialise in providing our customers with high-quality, reliable material handling equipment. Whether you need a pallet truck to transport goods around a warehouse or a robust storage cupboard to keep your tools secure, we have a material handling solution to suit you.

Material Lifts & Stackers

Our material lifts are amongst our most popular material handling solutions. Choose from a manually operated, semi-electric or fully-powered material lift depending on the nature of the task you need to complete.

Our manual stacker trucks are ideal for moving open boarded pallets in confined spaces because they have small turning circles and are relatively compact. Our semi-electric and fully-automated stackers reduce the amount of physical excursion needed to complete material handling tasks, so they’re perfect for more frequent use.

Pallet Trucks

Pallet trucks are an excellent material handling solution and can be used to transport goods from one location to another with ease. At SafetyLiftinGear we offer both manual and electric pallet trucks to suit a range of preferences and requirements.

Our manual pallet trucks are perfect for moving heavy duty loads because they offer maximum control as you move and manoeuvre. For low-duty applications in warehouses or on lorries choose our electric pallet trucks. You can complete your material handling task quickly and effectively with very little effort.

Site Storage & Cabinets

For larger material storage needs, we offer walk-in storage units that are made of galvanised steel and fitted with strong lockable doors. To store hazardous materials, tools and equipment we offer a selection of cabinets.
