General Industrial Lifting Equipment

LiftingSafety offers a range of synthetic (man-made fibre) lifting slings designed to be lightweight and help prevent or minimise damage to the items being lifted. A synthetic webbing sling is also often referred to by a variety of different names, such as lifting strap/strop, belt sling, polyester lifting sling, flat web lifting sling, belt webbing, woven sling, simplex or duplex sling, round sling or endless slings.

Wire rope slings from LiftingSafety are made to our customer’s specifications with an online choice of terminations and end fittings that include soft eyes, thimble eyes or with a big choice of hooks. As with our chain slings the wire rope slings offered online can be supplied as one, two, three or four leg design and can be made from galvanised steel wire rope or stainless steel wire rope and in any length and safe working load. All of our wire rope slings are made to order, bespoke products so if you cannot configure the exact product specification needed then please contact our sales team who will be happy to email you a competitive quote. End fittings/terminations offered online are; fused and tapered, ferrule secured thimble hard eye, ferrule secured soft eye, flemish eye according to Din 13414-1, captivated shackle (permanent), master ring, sling hooks (traditional safety latch/catch type), self-locking safety hooks, foundry hook, swivel sling hook and swivel self-locking hook.

Lifting capacity options (WLL - Working Load Limit) are available online from 95kg all the way up to 125 tonnes on a single M150 bolt, or 250 tonnes on twelve M48 bolts, all as standard products, but greater capacities can also be special/bespoke manufactured.

This category features beam trolleys, which are specialised load suspension devices designed to carry equipment beneath them as they move along a monorail/runway lifting beam. This beam can be made from materials such as rolled steel joists (RSJ), universal beams (UB), or universal columns (UC). In our online catalogue, we offer four distinct types of beam trolley: manual push/pull, geared travel (driven by the pulling of a hand chain), electric and pneumatic (air-powered).

Beam trolleys act as mobile anchorage points, easily attached to a lifting beam to support devices like chain hoists. This design allows for smooth movement along the beam’s length. You may come across different names for beam trolleys, including load trolleys, beam runners, 'I' beam crane trolleys, beam flange rollers, or girder monkeys.

In this section, we focus on manual push trolleys as well as geared travel runway trolleys, which operate with a chain drive. Geared trolleys provide enhanced control, especially when handling larger loads, as they are moved along the beam by a hand chain. Most trolleys are adjustable, with some designed for quick release. We also supply heavy-duty and low-headroom options, along with swivel truck trolleys for navigating tight radius bends on runway tracks when necessary.

Lifting equipment and height safety gear in the UK and around the world must undergo regular thorough examinations to ensure they remain safe for use. The inspection timeline for lifting gear varies based on the type of equipment, typically occurring every six (6) or twelve (12) months. Accessories for lifting equipment require inspections twice a year, while lifting machines are assessed annually.

To help users easily identify whether the equipment is still within its acceptable service period, we provide colour-coded tags. These serve as a visual cue that the equipment is generally safe to use, though it’s essential to conduct user inspections both before and after operation. Additionally, our lifting equipment identification tags are perfect for confirming that height safety and fall arrest gear are still compliant with inspection requirements.
