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 Lifting Safety are made to our customers’ specifications with an online choice of terminations and end fittings that include soft eyes, thimble eyes or with a big choice of hooks. 

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.

A range of clamps that are designed to lift RSJ/I-beams (I / H profile) or that is to suspend from a beam. The operation and user manual must be understood and followed correctly to ensure that a clamp for suspending from a beam is not used to lift a beam. LiftingSafety only offers top-quality beam clamps from reputable manufacturers. Many of these products are very similar with small feature differences which make them more suitable to particular operations. Offering a wide selection ensures our customers have a good choice in design, quality, price and stock availability.

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).

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.

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.
