We can supply all aspects of lifting equipment to suit almost any lifting application. Our online shop is continually being developed technically and new products from additional manufacturers are being added to our catalogue on a daily basis.
We have an IT Team dedicated to putting new product lines into our online catalogue so please feel free to contact us if you do not see the item of lifting equipment needed.
Lifting Equipment - Primary Equipment Categories
In our online Lifting Equipment catalogue we offer a shop with multiple options for the same range / type of products; for example we may offer 20 or more hand chain hoists for 10 different manufacturers. We at LiftingSafety believe that it is very important we offer a wide and varied choice in quality, price, specification, availability & material etc...; to try ensure that we can always offer a lifting equipment solution to suit your materials handling requirement. Our vast selection means that customers can usually find a piece of lifting equipment to meet their specification, budget and lead time.
Lifting equipment is also commonly referred to as lifting gear, lifting tackle, hoisting equipment, material handling equipment and manual handling equipment, among many other terms and phrases and generally covers a massive range. Below are the main categories of lifting equipment that we offer online:
Chain Hoists; Manual, Electric, Pneumatic

Chain Hoists; Manual, Electric, Pneumatic Lifting Equipment
In this category LiftingSafety mainly offer chain hoists and lever hoists; both use chain connected to a hook to lift a load and are designed to lift a load vertically. Hand chain hoists can be supplied hook suspended or fitted with a beam trolley and are also known as a block and tackle or abbreviated as HCB’s. Chain hoists can be of manual, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic operation and can be for permanent installation or removed after use.
These are probably the most commonly used item of lifting equipment. Lever hoists also often referred to as ratchet lever hoists or pull-lifts are a best seller from our catalogue. We offer a great choice in all hoisting equipment and distribute from many top quality manufacturers - We look forward to receiving your enquiry!
Wire Rope Lifting / Pulling Winches & Hoists read more
Wire Rope Lifting Equipment; Lifting / Pulling Winch & Hoists
In this range we have accumulated all the equipment that uses wire rope to lift or pull the load. A “hoist” lifts the load and a “winch” pulls or hauls the load; a pulling winch cannot be used to lift a load though a wire rope hoist can be used to pull! The reason for this is that different factors of safety (FOS) are required, for lifting 5:1, though for pulling the design FOS is only 3:1. When pulling remember that the capacity of the winch is the maximum permissible inline load and not referring to the self weight of the piece of equipment being pulled. This may help; dependant on incline and rolling resistance (etc..) the self weight will increase or decrease (E.g. bearings / wheels decrease the effort required to pull the load though an incline will increase the effort needed). A wire rope winch is rated at different capacities dependant on which layer of rope is paying off the drum whereas a hoist is rated at a maximum SWL on any layer, this is because it is rated at the worst case scenario. We offer options operated by hand, by compressed air, hydraulic or electric (single or 3 phase), with a wide variety lift heights (pull length) to suit most applications and environments (inc. ATEX)

Access and Safety Related Equipment read more
Access and Safety Related Lifting Equipment
LiftingSafety sell portable equipment for temporary access to a working area for maintenance, access & egress or production processes. Our working platforms are manually or electrically manoeuvred, our scaffold towers and ladders come in many different sizes and are easily / quickly assembled and moved. Safety products including load weighing equipment otherwise known as load cells, load links, load shackles or crane weighers and are designed as a connection between the lifting hook and the load to be lifted. The load cell indicates the load as it is applied to the hoist hook and if used by a competent person will ensure that the lifting system is not overloaded. Load arrestors are a fall arrest device for materials, a safety product that will catch a falling load should there be a failure of the primary lifting system/hoist etc... These are a much underused piece of safety lifting equipment and fortunately we offer an outstanding range in capacity, (SWL) and cable length, not to mention our excellent customer choice. Spring balancers, otherwise known as tool spring balancers or load balancers neutralise the weight of the tool or equipment suspended from them, like having a floating or weightless tool on a retractable wire rope. Again a much underused piece of safety lifting equipment, probably as many people do not understand how they work – feel free to contact our sales team for good advise and a competitive quote.

Fall arrest equipment is the most commonly used search term for people looking online for specialist suppliers of all types of height safety equipment. There are many different working at height disciplines though nearly all must employ equipment or design characteristics capable of safely arresting a fall with shock absorbing features that minimize the injury to the casualty; hence the term “Fall arrest equipment”. This category also includes restraint equipment, casualty rescue kits, rope access and many other types of height safety equipment.
LiftingSafety are world wide specialist suppliers / distributors for many quality UK, European and worldwide fall arrest manufacturers. We try to cover all categories of equipment in our online catalogue including the following:
Harnesses for Fall Arrest, Work Positioning and Rope Access read more
Harnesses for Fall Arrest, Work Positioning and Rope Access
In this category LiftingSafety offer Fall Arrest harnesses to suit all disciplines while working at height. There are two main types of fall arrest harness; by far the majority are full body fall arrest harness though we also offer a great selection of sit harnesses. We have split these safety harnesses into manageable sub categories making it easier to find the right product for our customer’s application. Harnesses are split into groups by industry sector such as construction harnesses and electrical harnesses, others by working environment (ATEX and hot work harnesses) and yet more by harness design for example with belt or by manufacturing standard! This is probably the most commonly used fall arrest category in the shop. We offer a great choice of fall arrest harnesses and distribute from many top quality manufacturers.
Lanyards for Fall Arrest, Work Positioning and Restraint read more
Lanyards for Fall Arrest, Work Positioning and Restraint
In the lanyard category we offer mainly fall arrest lanyards though there are three main types of lanyards used for working at height! By far the majority that we offer and subsequently sell are fall arrest lanyards with shock absorbing features, thus also referred to as shock absorbing lanyards. Secondly we offer restraint lanyards as used by people working at height who need a system to prevent the worker from being exposed to a potential fall; these can not be used in a potential fall zone! Finally we offer a great range of work positioning lanyards otherwise known as pole straps. These are designed to be used in conjunction with fall arrest equipment. The pole strap fits to an EN358 harness or belt and provides the user with additional support though has no shock absorbing properties. Pole straps are often also used as adjustable restraint lanyards! LiftingSafety offer a massive variety of styles from many of the world’s leading top quality manufacturers. We offer Single leg, twin leg, elasticated and tie back lanyards.
Kits for Fall Arrest and Height Safety read more
Kits for Fall Arrest and Height Safety
LiftingSafety offer fall arrest kits (fall protection kits) at very competitive prices that are provided to you from top quality height safety equipment manufacturers. We offer Tractel, Yale, Sala, Ridgegear and many more ensuring there is a kit of fall arrest equipment to suit most working at height scenarios. Height safety kits have a combination of many component parts including inertia reels, fall arrest and restraint lanyards and many different styles of fall arrest harness. Different manufacturers use completely different names for kits that contain very similar equipment when either kit will potentially do the same job; for this reason we re-categorise the kits by manufacturer, industry sector and by kit contents. This way we make it simpler and quicker to navigate to the most appropriate product. We can also make up bespoke kits to suit your individual requirement.
Fall Arrest Inertia Reels and Retrieval Blocks read more
Fall Arrest Inertia Reels and Retrieval Blocks
In this category LiftingSafety offer an unsurpassed selection of Fall arrest inertia reel blocks which are also commonly known as Fall Arrest Inertia Reels, Self Retracting life Lines (SRL and SRL's) and Personal Fall Limiters (PFL, PFL's). Some industries also refer to them as a fall arrest pulley? We offer small and large options, also offering lightweight and very robust options to suit all industries and extreme environments. Inertia reels are perfect for reducing the fall distance to a minimum and therefore likely to reduce the consequence of the fall, which typically is the injury caused by a fall. PFL personal issue fall arrestors are small in size, light weight and feature a shorter cable length. They are designed for the worker at height to keep with them, to carry on their person rather than being left permanently installed or ‘on the job’. We offer longer length inertia reels with up to a 60 metre cable length and options with Atex approval. We also supply SRL's with an integrated rescue winch to retrieve the casualty after a fall. This winch on the retriever block will raise or lower them to safety.
Man-riding & Rescue Rope Hoists, Electric / Manual read more
Man-riding & Rescue Rope Hoists, Electric / Manual
This category contains machines (Hoists and winches) certified and used for lifting persons and used gain access/egress by lifting or for casualty rescue applications. When choosing a manriding winch please consider the following: application, anchorage point to connect to, use of synthetic fibre or steel wire rope, the length of rope, speed of lift required, duty factor and physical size / weight and the environment suitability. Man-riding hoists are often referred to as a man-riding winch or a rescue winch though this is technical incorrect as a winch is used for pulling applications and a hoist used for lifting. We offer man-riding hoists from many top quality fall arrest equipment manufacturers including Tractel, Miller, Yale, Ridgegear, Sala, Protecta and more. It is sometimes difficult to choose the best lifting hoist (winch) to suit an application, if in doubt please ask our technical staff for the best solution.
Fall Arrest Systems & Man-riding Equipment read more
Fall Arrest Systems & Man-riding Equipment
LiftingSafety offer in this category Fall Arrest Systems and Man-Riding Equipment. All the items are sub divided into product types so that the customer can quickly find and compare possible suitable fall arrest solutions. We offer complete fall arrest systems such as permanently installed fall arrest lifelines and individual components / products like hand and electric hoists (some people wrongly refer to them as man-riding winches). Some products are standard products supplied direct from the manufacturers, though we also have the skills to design and manufacture Special or Bespoke items such as Davit Arms, Tripods and Gantries. Our range of fall arrest davit arms are unique and a more comprehensive range than offered by any of our competitors. This encompassed a range that we actually design and manufacture to meet with our customers specific requirements. It’s a very similar situation with our lightweight aluminium man-riding gantries, so please contact us is you yourself have a unique requirement! Please let us know if you cannot see a solution to your working at height problem as we have many new products waiting to be listed on-line.
Fall Arrest Anchorage Devices read more
Fall Arrest Anchorage Devices
Fall arrest anchorage devices conform and are manufactured to the standard EN795 (Protection against falls from height, anchor devices, requirements and testing), they are an approved anchorage point to which the fall arrest lanyard, restraint lanyard, rescue system or emergency evacuation system karabiner connector can be connected. We offer a wide variety of products from many leading, top quality height safety manufacturers including Sala, Tractel, Miller, Ridgegear and Protecta (and many more). We believe the vast choice of options from all the different manufacturers and the user friendly nature of our web site make this category one of the best online offerings for fall arrest anchorage devices. LiftingSafety’s online anchor options can be permanently fixed (installed systems) or mobile (portable anchorages) dependant on customer requirements. Please note that it is the responsibility of the competent person to ensure that the structure to which the EN795 anchor is connected to has adequate strength and stability to arrest a potential fall.
Karabiners & Connectors, Fall Arrest, Man-riding, Rescue read more
Karabiners & Connectors, Fall Arrest, Man-riding, Rescue and Restraint
Fall Rrrest Karabiners have many different names widely used throughout the height safety industry such as connecting links, carabiners, mallions, scaffold hooks (Scaff hooks & rebar hook), snap hooks, fall arrest hooks, oval links and delta links. All carabiners must be a minimum positive and definite action for the gar to open though some require three! This is a safety requirement and the reason is to stop the karabiner from being accidentally opened by the height safety worker. We offer hundreds different sizes and shapes from all the top level height safety suppliers (Miller, Sala and Protecta) and made from different materials such as steel, stainless steel, lightweight alloy (Aluminium) and corrosion protected carbon steel. With this extensive selection and our navigation aids our customer’s should easily find a karabiner suitable for their particular application. We look forward to hearing from you!
Rescue, Evacuation and Rope Access Equipment read more
Rescue, Evacuation and Rope Access Equipment
The LiftingSafety fall arrest rescue category is very informative and covers two main disciplines for those working at height. Firstly we offer rescue equipment for retrieval / rescuing a casualty after a fall. The employer has a legal responsibility to provide a rescue plan for any employees working at height; this includes people working at height (and below ground) in a potential fall arrest situation and also those not directly exposed to a fall where there is no practical means of egress should the person become incapacitated (heart attack etc...) for example, rescue from an overhead crane even if the crane bridge is fitted with hand rails for collective restraint! Rescue systems are available to remotely rescue a casualty without exposing the rescuer to the falling edge and thus not needing to use rope access techniques to connect to the fallen worker to the rescue equipment; this is achieved by using a remote extending rescue pole. The second discipline is emergency evacuation. This is when the worker at height needs to egress quickly, for example if emergency escape from an oil rig or working on a crane bridge and there is a fire in the building / working area. We offer a good range of kits and equipment for both rescue and for evacuation from some of the premium height safety manufacturers, so please consider contacting us for a competitive quotation.
General Height Safety Gear read more
General Height Safety Gear
Last but not least, LiftingSafety offer a lot more fall arrest equipment and gear for those working at height. There are many items in this category that do not warrant a category of their own and don’t fall into any of the above categories. The products contained within are critical to those working at height making this a highly active shop category and has proven very popular with our customers. Included in this section are height safety accessories, climbing ropes and climbing helmets etc... We offer special sections promoting hot work height safety and fall arrest equipment, plus height safety training courses, though one of the most popular sections is the black fall arrest equipment where low visibility is needed for example in the military or armed forces and also commonly used within the theatre industry where a low-viz / hidden harness is needed.

As it stands at the moment on liftingsafety we feel it couldn't be easier getting a quote for lifting or height safety equipment as every single product has a quantity box and quotation button, however some products do not have every configuration of options available to select for quotation and at this point you can input the specific requirements for the quotation in the comments box or call our sales office. The reason for some product not having the options configured are either because the range of that particular product is so huge it is not feasible to be configured on-line or because when the product was added we didn't have the capability to set the complete range of options available on that particular unit.
All quotation requests received by us are processed immediately by one of our team, we will quote you by return when possible though if we if you require a special or non stock item the quote will take longer.
