Lifting Equipment Shop

Chain hoists are probably the most common piece of machinery used to lift and lower equipment. They are designed to lift a load vertically using a hook connected to a chain which is then driven either manually, electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically. A chain hoist can be a permanent fixture for when a lift is commonly required within the same vicinity or temporary fixing for when a lift is required in several different locations infrequently. All chain lifting hoists offered by LiftingSafety are suitable to be fitted to a trolley, which can be either manually moved or have powered travel, by such means as electric, air or hydraulics.

Available here are a wide choice of hoists which can either lift or pull a load by means of a wire rope. There are two main differences with wire rope devices, some are designed to lift and pull (hoists) and some are designed just to pull (winches). The main factor that decides if a wire rope machine can be used to lift, pull or both is the factor of safety that it required and the unit is built to; to lift a load there is a FOS (factor of safety) requirement of 5:1, whereas to pull a load the requirement on only 3:1 FOS. Options are available for manual, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic cable pulling and lifting devices. All of which have their own unique features and specifications which can make one more suitable than another. If you feel you need assistance at any point in deciding the right piece of equipment for you, please get in contact and we will do our best to ensure your problem is solved.

For most of the products in this category that we refer to as specialist application lifting equipment we probably also offer a similar or identical item in another category except is will be made from a different material or made to a different specification from normal industrial working environments. For example the Atex category contains many items that have generally been modified to work safety in potentially explosive areas, items like chain hoists and rather lever hoists which are also offered without the anti-sparking (spark proof) modifications. Other categories include the ROV and Subsea lifting equipment and stainless steel lifting equipment most of which is also available made from other materials or without modifications for our industrial customer. Please feel free to contact our sales team if you need any assistance.

LiftingSafety sell Portable access equipment as used for many different types of work, for maintenance, access & egress and for production processes. Our working platforms are manually or electrically manoeuvred and lifted; our scaffold towers and ladders come in many different sizes and are easily and quickly assembled. LiftingSafety safety products include load weighing tackle (load cells, load links, load shackles or crane weighers) which are designed as a connection between the lifting hook and the load. The load cell indicates the weight of the load as it is applied to the hoist and it helps to prevent overloading a crane. Load arrestors are a safety product to catch a falling load. They are a fall arrest block for materials applications. We offer on-line an outstanding range in capacity, (SWL) and cable length. Spring balancers (tool spring balancers or load balancers), neutralise the weight of the tool or equipment suspended by them making the tool seem weightless while suspended on a retractable wire rope. Again a much underused piece of safety lifting equipment. Please contact our sales team for a competitive quote.

In this category LiftingSafety offers many items that don’t really fall into any other category though collectively they are just as important a group of products. This is a very busy category with our customers and included in this shop section are wind turbine lifting hoists, from many lifting equipment manufacturers and a big range of hydraulic workshop presses/hydraulic floor presses. We also offer many items of garage equipment items suitable for use in commercial vehicle garages.
