We've got a great new range of products to help you out with lifting and moving tasks around the house!

Moving furniture around can be dangerous if it's heavy and you're relying solely on your own strength. Lifting a cumbersome object like a sofa or a fridge can lead to back injuries and other musculoskeletal disorders if you go about it the wrong way. And if you drop the load in question, in can do a lot of damage - to the floor, to the item itself, and of course to your foot. Ouch!

If you need to purchase an electric hoist, it's important to pick the right one for the job - using an insufficient or inappropriate hoist could have dire consequences for you and the people around you.

With this in mind, here is a short, helpful guide to SafetyLiftinGear's assorted electric hoist products:

• Weight Limit - Perhaps the most important thing to look at when buying an electric hoist is that hoist's weight capacity. Some heavy-duty hoists can lift loads of a tonne or more, while other electric hoists are only capable of managing 2-300kgs at a time. Be sure to check the weight limit before reaching the checkout.
  
  
• Voltage - Different places will use different operating voltages. For example, American power outlets usually operate at 110 volts, and so you would need a 110 volt hoist in this circumstances. Elsewhere, you may have to use a 240 volt outlet, in which case you'll need a 240 volt hoist (a 110 volt hoist would be damaged by any voltage above 110).
  
  
• Motor - Most of our electric hoists use a single phase motor. This is sufficient for most applications, although we do also supply three phase hoists for particularly demanding jobs.

No matter what type of hoists you need, SafetyLiftinGear has an option for you. Our range of different hoists are suitable for a wide range of different work environments, as they have a variety of different capabilities and capacities.
