We've had some bitterly cold weather in the UK this week - the Met Office have issued amber weather warnings in several parts of the country, and many people's travel plans have been massively disrupted by the snow.
Today, we'd like to announce a rather timely addition to our product range: snow plough attachments for forklift trucks!
These sturdy galvanised blades can be mounted on the forks of your truck and used to move snow out of the way. This attachment is ideal for those who don't have access to a real snow plough and don't wish to shovel the snow themselves - it's great for clearing car parks, access roads, and any other site where snow could present an inconvenience during a cold snap.
Our plough attachment is available in 3 different blade sizes:
The plough attachments are available to buy or hire - click here to browse all options.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we pride ourselves on being able to provide our customers with high-quality, reliable products. That's why when someone wants to use our products to carry out a test we are more than happy to help. Recently, we were asked to carry out a davit arm test. A davit arm is used for recovery of personnel out at sea, so it's important that the crew are aware of exactly how much weight the davit arm on board can take.
The test was carried out on a davit arm that had recently been installed on a commercial rescue boat. We supplied 150kg of hand test weights and sling shackles so that a live load test could be conducted whilst the rip was on its mooring in Lymington Yacht Haven.
(20kg test weight)
The davit arm was successfully tested and we were all happy with the way it turned out!
If you have any questions about what you may need to test your equipment, we are more than happy to help. For any queries on any of the products, we supply feel free to contact our friendly team.
