1 Hydraulic Lifting Cylinders & Pumps 700 Bar
LiftingSafety offer a wide and comprehensive range of high pressure hydraulic lifting cylinders, rams and hand pumps to suit heavy duty industrial applications. This type of single action lifting cylinder tend to use a remote / independent hand pump making them ideal for use in confined spaces. The lifting cylinder is separate to the hand pump though connected with a hydraulic hose which can be a long as needed meaning that the person operating / controlling the lift can be situated in a safe area away from the actual lift. Lifting cylinders operate at very high pressure, 700 Bar / 10,000 PSI. We offer in our online lifting equipment catalogue hydraulic lifting systems up to 1000 tonne capacity on many different sizes and types of cylinder. Flat or Pad jack are very low height, than we also offer standard height and tall cylinders along with hollow centre jacks. Lifting cylinders with Locking nuts provide a mechanical means of holing the load preventing the ram lowering under load. Single stage rams have spring return. We offer a good range of Hydraulic hand pumps manual and electric with different reservoir capacities (amount of oil) and as single stage and two stage; twin stage pumps oil very fast at low pressure and then when the oil pressure rises the lifting speed automatically reduces and lift the load. Hydraulic hand pumps are hand operated or foot operated.
2 Lifting Jacks
LiftingSafety offer many types of lifting jack in our online catalogue in an attempt to offer a jacking / lifting equipment system to suit most jacking applications. All the jacks are manually operated with the lifting action being a mechanic ratchet jack or by a pressurized hydraulic system. Hydraulic lifting jacks have an integrated hand pump, mounted on to the jack body. Toe jacks are available in our online jacking catalogue with many different features including rotating body, optional toe heights and many choices for height of lift. Our Jack range is manufactured by quality / reputable lifting equipment manufacturers the likes of Yale, Tractel, Gunnebo and Pfaff (and more to be added shortly) at prices to suit most budgets. Lightweight aluminium jacks are available up to 100 tonne capacity with different stroke lengths. Some designed of toe jack allow the toe to be removed and with others the toe is a permanent part of the jack. Please be aware that most toe jacks have a reduced capacity when lifting off the toe; very few have 100% SWL when lifting off the toe. The purpose of the toe is to create a very low lifting point when a conventional jack is too tall to get under the load.
3 Machinery Moving Skates, Materials Skates & Load Moving Skates
Load moving skates are mechanical handling equipment used to transport heavy machinery and other items in the work area. Machinery skates mainly use nylon, polyurethane or steel wheels / castors and work though are also less often fitted with roller tracks, like tank tracks (Economical and ideal for general workshop moving jobs, all types of machine tools, fabrication etc). Dependant on customer requirements we offer load moving systems with fixed and swivel castors or indeed a combination of both. Most of our materials skates are designed to be manually manoeuvred (push / Pull) though most can be assisted by a tug or fork truck. Materials load moving skates work best on a flat smooth surface free from dirt or other obstructions. All our load movers are individually load rated and / or rated as a set. Sets of machinery skates usually include one front steerable skate and a pair of fixed wheel rear trailing skates with a tie bar. We also sell many individual skates, roller pinch bars to manually raise a load and materials movers otherwise sometimes referred to as materials scoots (or scoots). We have tried to compile a range suitable for all professions and budgets, please contact our sales or technical staff if you need any assistance or a quotation.
4 Hand Operated Pallet Trucks, Pump Trucks
LiftingSafety provides in our online hand pallet truck catalogue probably the largest range of pallet trucks offered anywhere online. The overall range covers many pallet trucks from many leading lifting equipment and materials handling equipment manufacturers including, Yale, Little Mule, Tractel, Pfaff and many more to be added shortly. We sell pallet trucks from mainstream applications and hand pump trucks for specialised applications including the following: weighing trucks with scales, tilting pallet trucks, Atex pallet trucks, high lift pallet trucks, Corrosion resistant galvanized steel and stainless steel pump trucks. Amongst the features of our range is electric lift and powered travel hand pallet trucks and some with parking brakes fitted. Narrow, wide and long pallet trucks.... the list goes on. We have subdivided the range into pallet truck by user application then further sub-divided by manufacturer to assist our customers in navigating to the most appropriate product.
5 Stacker Trucks, Materials Lifts, Manual and Electric
Stacker trucks are similar in design, operation and visually to hand pallet trucks, the key difference being the ability of a stacker truck to raise the load to a greater height. For user operation we offer pedestrian manoeuvred or with power travel and with materials lifting options as manual (no power) or battery lifting. There are many options in our online stacker catalogue offering height of lift and safe working load to meet with our customers’ requirements. Manual and electric stacker trucks can be supplied with forks or a load platform with the load lifted by a manual hydraulic hand pump or with a wire rope winch. Stacker trucks traditionally have forward facing stability legs which reduce the need for counter weight though we can also supply special bespoke manufactured counterbalanced stacker trucks. Forward facing stability legs also have the advance of making a stacker truck lighter and therefore easier to manually manoeuvre.

7 Scissor Lift Tables
The scissor lift table is a manual handing aid and are offered online presented in two categories; as mobile scissor lift tables and static scissor lift tables (no moving / fixed). Castors are fitted to tables that need to be moved between jobs or used to move the load while loaded. Static scissor lifting tables are permanently left in place; they can be countersunk into the floor so that when retracted the table top is flush to the floor surface or free standing / bolted to a floor. Fixed scissor lift tables are much more stable and therefore better suited to greater height of lift and capacities. Fixed scissor lift tables are often used in production processes of as loading platforms. The key features of a scissor lift table are as follows; Capacity (The maximum weight that the table can safety lift). The table top dimensions (the size of the table needed to support the load / carry out the task). The height of lift needed (this refers to the maximum height as well as the minimum lowered height). Working environment is a consideration that should not be overlooked. (We can make lifting tables for outdoor use with corrosion protection such as galvanized or stainless steel construction as also used in the food manufacturing industries.)
8 Gas Cylinder Handling Equipment
Liftingsafety’s category got gas bottle handling equipment. Gas cylinders are usually filled with explosive gasses and therefore extreme care should be taken with the moving, lifting and storing of gas cylinders. We therefore have introduced a new category “Gas Cylinder Handling Equipment” which includes a good range of gas cylinder trolleys and gas cylinder trucks. Most of our cylinder trolleys are UK manufactured and made to the highest quality standards. All the Gas trucks are fitted with large wheels, mostly large diameter for use on rough surfaces. Some trolleys have two castors and others have a third rear castor to provide additional support, making transportation much more stable and therefore safer. LiftingSafety also offers a good choice in cylinder lifting trolleys and gas bottle lifting trucks fitted with lifting eyes for hoisting with overhead cranes. All our cylinder trolleys are manually manoeuvred and can be made to suit all size cylinders; we look forward to hopefully receiving your enquiries.
9 Drum Handling Equipment
LiftingSafety offer online a massive online Drum Handling Equipment category with all types of devices to assist or remove the manual handing effort required when lifting, pulling, turning (rotating right, left, front and back) or dispensing from a steel or plastic drum. To make navigation as simple as possible we have divided all the products in this category by user application, these domains are Fork lift truck mounted drum handling equipment, Hoist hook suspended drum handling equipment and manually manoeuvred drum handling equipment (pedestrian drum handling equipment) we have then slit the products onto attachments suitable for particular drum types; steel drums, “L” Ring Drums, 110 litre Fibre drums and Egg Shaped Plastic Drums. We offer drum attachments that grip around the circumference, that strap around the drum, hydraulic operated grabs, rim grip attachments or top ring connecting. All our drum handling equipment is good quality and mostly made here in the UK.
10 Lifting Beams & Spreader Beams
Because of the potential number of options available all of our lifting beams and spreader beams are designed and manufactured individual to our customer’s requirements / specification and can be made from carbon steel painted or power coated, from stainless steel or from high strength lightweight aluminium. We offer lifting beams and spreader beams with guide prices, on request we will offer a quotation and will provide our customers with a general arrangement drawing on receipt of a purchase order. With most of the lifting beams the information, specification and dimensions are offered as a guide in good faith for illustration purposes only to give the end user an indication of the type of beams that are commercially available, usually them modified to suit individual requirements. With special and bespoke lifting beams a drawing will always be issued for approval prior to manufacture.
11 Crane Forks
Crane forks are a hook suspended piece of lifting equipment used to lift pallets of equipment in areas of the work place that a fork lift truck cannot reach. Standard Crane lifting forks are available in many different capacities up to 5 tonne SWL. Special bespoke manufactured crane forks can be made to suit our customers’ requirements both in physical dimensions and capacity. There are two main types of crane fork, manual balance and automatic balance crane forks. The manual balance versions need the operator to adjust the hoist hook position on the forks to ensure the load is picked up correctly, and not dangerously tipping forward with the risk that the load could be accidently dropped. Auto balance / self balancing crane forks require no manual intervention to level the load though do have required a minimum of 20% of the maximum SWL to work correctly, for example 1 tonne crane forks must be loaded with a minimum of 200kg. Crane forks are equipped with adjustable tines, height adjustable and an automatic balancing system. Crane forks with automatic balancing* tend to point their tines upward when being transported. This prevents the load from unintentionally slipping off the tines.
