About Selby Engineering and Lifting Safety Limited
For over 30 years, we have been delivering expert solutions in the sales, hire, design, manufacture, installation, testing, and certification of lifting equipment, rigging gear, material handling systems, and height safety products.
Founded in 1994 as Selby Engineering & Lifting Services and incorporated as a Private Limited Company in 1995, the business quickly became known locally as SELS, a name derived from our original branding. Initially established to serve the Selby Coal Field industry, we built a strong reputation for reliability and quality service.
As word spread, so did our reach. Our expertise soon extended across a wide range of industries, including power generation, manufacturing, food production, rail, civil engineering, and more. This growth was driven by a consistent commitment to delivering dependable solutions tailored to our customers' needs.
With the rise of the internet in the late 1990s, we were among the first in our sector to embrace digital transformation. Launching our online presence enabled us to expand beyond regional boundaries and begin serving customers nationally and internationally.
In 2005, we launched www.liftingsafety.co.uk, and in 2006 re-branded as Selby Engineering & Lifting Safety Ltd, now widely recognised as LiftingSafety. Today, we are proud to supply customers across the UK and export globally on a daily basis - often at very short notice.
Our "can-do" attitude defines who we are. Whether it's sourcing specialist equipment or delivering urgent solutions, we go the extra mile - quite literally when needed.

Discounted Quotation and Buying Online
With almost all of the lifting equipment or fall arrest equipment listed throughout liftingsafety.co.uk (including some of the more specialist units), we have the facility and ability to offer discounts on the majority of orders and quotes. To get a quote simply find the required product(s) and use the 'Add to Quote Request' button and request a written quote from us, or you can call our office and speak to one of our dedicated team on UK 01977 684600 or overseas 0044 1977 684 600.
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. Buying on-line within our website is temporarily disabled as a lot of options and prices are still to be updated, however in the very near future the ability to buy online will once again be available.
Lifting and Height Safety Quotes
All our lifting equipment and height safety products are available for quotation, and all of which will receive a discount where possible when quoted by us. Quite a lot of products for which we are a stockist / supplier already have a sale price fitted to them, but this does not mean that is the only discount you will receive. 95% of the quotations sent out by Selby Engineering and Lifting Safety Limited have an extra discount for the already applied sale price which means you could save even more money. This is a particularly useful feature throughout our site if you are working to a tight budget.
All quotations received by us are processed as quickly as possible by one of our team. However, it's not always possible to have your quotation with you as quick as we would like, especially when it comes to some of the more bespoke items which we have on offer. If you need your quotation urgently, then feel free to contact our office where one of the dedicated height safety or lifting equipment specialists will be happy to assist you in processing your quotation.
