When it comes to top-quality engineering, Italy undoubtedly ranks highly on the list – look no further than the Ferrari for proof of that.
In the construction industry, the theme holds true and few equipment manufacturers can match up to the lofty standards set by Italian giants, Boscaro.
At SafetyLiftinGear.com, we know this all too well – which is exactly why we stock a wide variety of Boscaro products.
To give you a taste of Boscaro collection, here are a few of the most popular Boscaro products we have in stock at SLG.
Ideal for use with a variety of lifting hoists, these heavy-duty tipping buckets have been built with durability in mind, fully certified and compliant to EN standards.
Made from quality materials for heavy-duty construction purposes, these easy-to-use tipping buckets feature a simple tipping mechanism for effortless tipping and discharge.
These are currently available in the following capacities:
Naturally, the weight capacity increases with the size, ranging from 132kg limit for the 60 litre version, all the way up to 390kg for the 150 litre model. That’s roughly the weight of a horse!
While we don’t recommend using these buckets to hoist any stallions, there’s no doubt that they certainly provide some serious bang for your buck.
As the name suggests, these circular skips are tailor-made to for muck and waste removal, while they can also be used for site clearance.
Featuring two safety catches for additional user protection during the loading and unloading process, the cleverly engineered design allows the skip to empty automatically, utilising the lifting arm’s centre of gravity.
The weight limit of the 250 litre model reaches a maximum capacity of 650kg, while the larger 1000 litre version can handle as much as 2600kg of weight. For those keeping score, that’s the weight of a giraffe.
Luckily, you won’t be sticking your neck out with these products. They’re built to last and able to handle some serious weight. Simply choose the model with the capacity that suits your purpose and let the skip do the heavy lifting for you.
For smaller jobs, Boscaro even has a Plastic Circular Muck Skip for loads of up to 70 litres, capable of withstanding up to 150kg of weight (roughly the weight of a panda).
Perfect for general use around site, these self-dumping bins are a great addition to your on-site kit. Available in 600 litre and 800 litre versions, these bins couldn’t be easier to use: simply attach to a crane hook, lift and watch it automatically tip.
Complete with both fixed and swivel castors for effortless mobility around site, each bin also comes with two handles on the back for enhanced manoeuvrability, while they also feature brakes for safe and secure positioning when stationary.
Boscaro’s crane forks make for a fantastic addition to on-site crane user’s arsenal. Fully adjustable in height and fork width to suit the task at hand, these handy attachments are also self-balancing, allowing the load to stay level during the actual lifting process.
Made from high-quality steel, durability isn’t an issue here – these forks are built to take the pressure and have a varying weight capacity of 2 tonnes or 3 tonnes depending on the chosen model.
For additional protection, they also come with a facility to attach a protection net if required. Fully tested and certified, with a 2-year warranty in toe, this is one product that won’t let you down when it’s time to lift.
In addition to the above examples, we also stock a number of specialist attachments for site use. Some of the most popular of these can be found below:
Fitted with rotating rubber-coated plates, these reliable kerb grabbing attachments are perfect for lifting long objects of up to 1000kg from a horizontal position to vertical.
Fully automatic and fully adjustable, these block lifting grabs are capable of hoisting up to 1800kg in weight, complete with side handles for manual stability.
Fitted with crane fork pockets for easy site transit, these safety cages are ideal for transporting bricks and blocks, with hinged gate for simple accessibility.

Full-body harnesses should be the first choice when it comes to working at height because they offer:
When looking at how full body harnesses are designed, there are a few common features that you can expect to see on any full body harness:
Before you carry out any work at height, you should always assess the potential risks. Unfortunately, falling from height is a common cause of injuries and fatalities in the workplace. It's important that you know when a full body harness is, or isn't required. Your employee should carry out a full risk assessment before you carry out any work at height, notifying you if a full body harness is required while you complete your tasks.
In situations where a fall from height is a serious risk, you don't want to be putting on any old harness and making your ascent. Choosing a full body harness that suits your weight and job requirements is paramount for your safety. Your full body harness should always:

A Doncaster based construction firm has been fined £10,000 and ordered to pay £803 in legal costs after one of their young workers suffered a serious fall.
The unnamed 18-year-old employee was working on the first floor of a house being built in West Butterwick, Scunthorpe. The worker was using a trowel to remove mortar from some breeze blocks when he stepped backwards and accidentally fell through an unguarded stairway. The injuries he sustained from the fall include; two fractured ribs and contusions.
The HSE investigated the incident and concluded that Trumax Building Ltd had not put the required safety precautions in place. Neither a proprietary guardrail system or traditional scaffold guardrails were used to prevent people from falling through the opening.
Trumax Building Ltd pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 6 (3) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005. The HSE Inspector who handled this case said:
'This incident could so easily have been avoided by simply carrying out the correct control measures and safe working practices, particularly to protect young and inexperienced workers. In this case, someone suffered serious injuries that could have been avoided by installing guardrails around the stairway opening to prevent workers from falling from height.'
Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we work tirelessly to provide the PPE and equipment required to keep workers safe while working at height. Our Height Safety category features a range of products that can ensure safety whether your line of work is construction, tree surgery, or any other profession.

Just when you thought we couldn't make your life at work any easier, we go and throw these new Loadsurfer pallet trucks into the mix! Choose either the semi or fully-electric option depending on your personal preferences. We've tried them both and we're certain they'll make your load moving tasks 100 times easier.
What makes these Loadsurfer pallet trucks different to other semi and fully-electric pallet trucks you've seen before?
The semi-electric pallet truck is an excellent alternative to a hand pallet truck. However, if you will sometimes prefer a manual pallet truck this is a great option for you - it's the best of both worlds!
The manually operated forks can lift loads up to 115mm off the ground. If you're working on slopes of 5% or less with loads weighing up to 1800kg, this semi-electric pallet truck will tackle them no problem.
Semi Electric >
The fully-electric option is ideal if you find you never require a manual pallet truck to get the job done! Our fully-powered pallet truck will keep you on the move all day long.
It can shift loads weighing up to 1500kg up and down slopes with a 6% gradient (1% more than it's semi-electric counterpart). It can also travel an impressive 0.5km faster than the semi-electric when laden.
Fully Electric >
If you have any questions about either of our new Loadsurfer pallet trucks, don't hesitate to contact us. Both models are available to buy or hire depending on your needs.
