Protect Your Tools When Working at Height

admin Products

If you are work at height, it is important to not only use personal fall protection equipment such as safety harnesses and fall arrest blocks. It is equally as important to ensure that your tools are also protected from being dropped or falling from height.

If you accidently drop your tools whilst working at height you could potentially damage any equipment that is on the ground below, cause an accident, or cause a fatal injury. Tool lanyard attaches onto your person at one end, either around your waist, wrist or onto your safety harness, and secure your tool at the other. By using this simple safety measure you minimise the risk of causing a serious accident.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear we stock a fully comprehensive range of tool lanyards, no matter your requirements, we are certain we have a lanyard that suits your need. Click here to view our full range of Tool Lanyards.

In the unlikely event you cant find the exact lanyard you require, please contact our customer service team on 0808 123 6969 or email sales@safetyliftingear.com

New Products: More Ergodyne Work Gear

mike Products

A few weeks back, we introduced you to our new range of tool lanyards from Ergodyne, a Minnesota company renowned for their "tenacious work gear". These lanyards proved very popular indeed, and so it gives us great pleasure to announce that we've just added a whole range of additional Ergodyne products to our Height Safety department!

Here's a quick run-down of our newest additions:

Tie hooks. These are available in small, medium, and large sizes, as well as in a 'double belt' format (medium or large). Ergodyne tie hooks are ideal for storing and organising cables, hoses and cords, as seen in this video:

Tool Tails™. If you're looking for an easy way to attach your tools to your belt whilst working, Tool Tails™ are perfect for the job. They can be used to attach a wide variety of tools and other items; choose from our elastic loop Tool Tails™ and our ultra-strength web Tool Tails™.
Cold shrink traps. Ergodyne's cold shrink traps should be used alongside the Tool Tails™ to trap the tail and keep it secure while in use. If you'd like to see how the cold shrink traps work, watch this video:

Heat tape. This is another method of trapping your Tool Tails™, providing additional security and grip while in use. Here's another video that demonstrates how to use the Ergodyne heat tape trap:

Now in Stock: Ergodyne Tool Lanyards

robin Products

Ergodyne are a company from the USA - Minnesota, to be precise - with a great reputation for manufacturing "tenacious work gear" (as their logo puts it). Now, we're all about high-quality equipment here at SafetyLiftinGear, and so Ergodyne's super-strong products are right up our street...which is why we've added a selection of the company's tool lanyards to our Height Safety department!

As we've mentioned before, tool lanyards are a must-have for anyone who works at height. Tools and fittings can cause a huge amount of damage if dropped, even if it's from a relatively small height; for example, if you were to drop a spanner whilst working on a ladder, it could seriously injure anyone who happens to be passing underneath at the time.

That's why we at SafetyLifitnGear recommend Ergodyne's Squids® range. These high-calibre tool lanyards are specifically designed to prevent tools from dropping whilst exerting the minimum possible force on the body to which they're attached. Choose from the following products:

Squids® 3001 Retractable Lanyard (Single carabiner with loop end)
Squids® 3115 Adjustable Swivel Wrist Tool Lanyard
Squids® 3026 Accessory Pack (Loops)
Squids® 3025 Acessory Pack (Carabiners)
Squids® 3109EXT Tool Lanyard (comes with carabiner)

These tool lanyards and their corresponding accessories are ideal for construction workers, tradesmen, and anyone else who ever works at height.

When working at great heights, it is not only vitally important to secure your own safety, but to consider the safety of others who may be around or below you also. If you were to drop any tools from a height they could cause serious harm to anyone below, but of course there is a way to ensure that doesn't happen! Our professional, durable and strong range of Tool Lanyards can prevent you dropping your tools, and thus minimising the likelihood of a serious injury occurring to anyone below you.
