Over the past couple of weeks, the team here at SafetyLiftinGear have been working hard behind the scenes to bring to you our improved collection of cable handling products!
We know and understand how difficult it can be to handle cable if you’re not adequately equipped. In such circumstances, having the right equipment can make your lifting and transporting operations a lot safer and more efficient. That is why we strived to extend and improve our cable handling range to include new and improved products.
However, as a result of there being so many types of cable handling products available, it can be difficult to know exactly what you need to help complete your specific lifting application. To help you out and to show you what we have to offer at SLG, here is a selection of cable handling products that could come in handy when you’re at work.
Versatile and lightweight, cable drum jacks are an essential piece of equipment needed to keep your cable tidy. Cable drum jacks can be adjusted quickly to accommodate a wide range of cable drums and are commonly fitted with wheels in order for them to be moved around with little to no effort. These are best used as supports for cable drum spindles.
Heavy-duty pieces of equipment, cable drum rotators are often welded with steel sealed bearings, with one fixed and one adjustable diablo control allowing you to rotate the drum of your winch and wind in the cable with ease.
Sub duct pulling eyes, also commonly referred to as carrots within the lifting industry, come with a clevis pin and an eye at the opposite end to attach or draw rope through. These are often tapered and threaded to cover a particular length of sub duct and come in two types; PE1 and PE2. PE1 sub duct pulling eyes are suitable for a sub duct range of 24-29mm, whereas PE2 has a larger range of 29-37mm.
Sometimes referred to as cable stockings and cable socks, cable stockings are an incredibly efficient way to support or pull a variety of cables. Cable grips are manufactured from high tensile galvanised steel wire, providing them with increased levels of strength. Sometimes they’re even manufactured using stainless steel and Kevlar when operations are conducted in extreme condition or when an even stronger pull is needed.
Conduit rods are a suitable, efficient method of installing draw ropes and winch ropes into ducts, making them an ideal piece of equipment for cable pulling operations. Conduit rods are often manufactured with glass-fibre reinforced epoxy rods, with an outer polyethene coating which provides fantastic adhesion properties. Conduit rods also benefit from excellent levels of elasticity which makes them perfectly suited for any duct installation. Conduit rods are available on either a free-standing frame or on a mobile frame for larger rods.

In the past week, the team at SafetyLiftinGear have been busy helping out with an exciting project in partnership with lifting specialists, King Lifting!
The project was focused around helping to lift Dorian, a restored ship used in both World Wars, namely during the evacuation of Dunkirk.
King Lifting had previously purchased a number of round and webbing lifting slings from us to assist with other lifting applications but in order to lift the Dunkirk ship, further equipment was required.
This time around, SLG supplied a 12ft Modular Spreader Beam frame (4 x 4 meter) with associated shackles in order for the weight of the ship to be properly carried (tare weight of the boat on the crane was 9.7 tonnes), helping it on its way to the next part of its journey.
Eight long years have passed since restoration started on Dorian in 2011, but now she is ready to take to the sea again, ready for the Return to Dunkirk. Organised by the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Operation Dynamo in May 2020, SafetyLiftinGear is proud to have played a small part in the ship’s long and historical story.
We have an extensive range of the spreader beams used to help lift the Dunkirk ship in stock, ready for both hire and full purchase, depending on your needs! And just like many other products in our vast collection, our beams are able to be customised with different configurations and extra struts. You can browse our spreader beams and see images from the project below.

The season of giving is far from over, as the whole team here at SLG have been working hard to expand our extensive product offering, providing our customers with even more quality lifting equipment.
Over the past week, SafetyLiftinGear has added several lightweight swivel lifting davits to help your lifting applications on-site run easier, smoother and safer. Available in a choice of working limits, Davit arms for lifting are very similar to jib cranes though limited in reach and capacity. Our collection of Davit arms is highly portable, so you can transport them along with you whenever and wherever lifting tasks are required. However, they can also be permanently fitted to a position on site where continuous lifting applications occurs.
Manufactured with galvanised materials to protect from the elements and corrosion, our Davits are perfectly suited for a range of environments, whether indoors or out. these are designed to help carry out work effectively without risk of physical overload. As with many of our products, our lifting davits can be built to your exact specification to meet your lifting needs. Learn more about the product specifications of our lifting davits below.

Christmas came early for a Welsh steelworks this week as SafetyLiftinGear came bearing gifts in the form of industrial lifting equipment.
SLG’s Cardiff depot rented out a whole host of heavy-duty haulage products to a local site ahead of planned maintenance works over the Christmas period.
The sizeable hire consisted of some of our most popular industrial-use items, including the following:
With 11 of each product, the client looks set to make light work of any heavy lifting that comes their way over the Christmas period.
Should St Nick need any help lugging presents while he’s soaring over Wales, he’ll know exactly where to go for a helping hand.
The specialist air hoists ordered by the firm are capable of lifting up to six tonnes in weight, which equates to roughly the same as a fully-grown African elephant.
While it’s unlikely the guys and gals at the Welsh steelworks will be using these air hoists for such a mammoth task, it’s reassuring to know that our air hoists are more than fit for the job.
Meanwhile, our beam clamps are no weak link either. In fact, they are capable of lifting about the same weight as a cruise ship anchor, ensuring any industrial heavy-lifting tasks are plain sailing all the way.
If you are interested in hiring any lifting equipment for your heavy-duty hauling, why not get in touch with SLG today? We offer a huge range of lifting gear for a wide variety of tasks and are sure to have just what you need to get your job off the ground.

Looking for a dependable rigging attachment to help you with your lifting headaches? We’ve got just the product that’s guaranteed to leave you beaming!
Continuing our commitment to bring you the latest and greatest lifting solutions available, we’ve just added five new products to our growing range of beam clamps.
Best of all, these products come bearing the iconic mark of YALE, providing all the sturdy reliability we have come to expect from this established brand.
Enough chit-chat: let’s clampdown on these new YALE products and take a closer look. Beam me up, Scotty!
Also known as girder clamps, beam clamps provide a safe and secure solution for those looking to suspend or secure fixtures and hardware to beam flanges without the need for welding or drilling.
Typically, beam clamps are attached to overhead beams to act as suspension points for lifting appliances; however, certain beam clamps can also be attached to the load itself as for lifting.
Providing a quick and versatile rigging point for hoisting equipment, pulley blocks or loads on a beam, the YALE YC beam clamp range offers a simple and effective solution for a variety of rigging needs.
Equipped with a secure locking device for enhanced safety and reliability, YALE YC beam clamps can be attached to both horizontal beams and vertical beams.
When used in conjunction with multiple YALE YC beam clamps, this piece of kit can also be used to manoeuvre loose steel beams as well.
With a wide adjustment range and a centre threaded spindle, this unit offers flexible application and easy attachment for safe and simple use.
When used as a lifting clamp, this product is suitable for steel beams with that can be fully entered into the mouth of the clamp and adhere to the range indicated on the identity plate.
At SafetyLiftinGear.com, YALE Beam Clamps are currently available in the following weight capacities:
