In our never-ending quest to provide you with the best lifting equipment known to man, we’ve scoured the lifting gear landscape for the latest and greatest innovations to add to our growing inventory of goodies.
As a result, we’ve added two more fantastic items to our arsenal this week, in the form of two mighty chain blocks from material handling maestros, Yale.
With that being said, enough with the idle chit-chat – let’s get down to business and take a look at these awesome additions in more detail!
Part of the almighty Columbus McKinnon group, Yale Lifting Solutions has earned a reputation as a global leader in material handling and motion control.
ISO 9001 certified with a myriad of additional certificates to back it up, Yale is a reliable brand in the lifting industry, with innovation a key component of their products.
For proof of that innovation, look no further than these latest Yale chain blocks to arrive at SLG:
Yet another innovation from the good folks at Yale, the new and improved Yale VSIII Manual Chainblock boasts a variety of fresh perks in terms of usability to design.
From a functionality standpoint, the design of the hand chain has been notably improved to prevent hand injuries and operational canting.
Meanwhile, high-quality bearings have been added to each side plate, the gearbox and the load chain sheave to ensure smooth operation.
Even the chain itself has had an upgrade, featuring EN818-7 zinc-plated load chain. This chain hoist has been fully tested and certified to the appropriate operational standard.
Lightweight and compact, this chain hoist is a handy piece of kit, capable of lifting a hefty load with ease.
Available in the following weight categories:
Another fantastic product from Yale, the YaleLift 360degree Chainblock offers unrivalled directional versatility and user-friendly operation.
Thanks to the innovative 360-degree rotating hand chain guide, the revolutionary system allows the operator to use the hand chain from virtually any angle and any position. This allows for use in confined areas, from the side of a load and even horizontally.
Fully tested and certified, the added positional flexibility provides enhanced safety and allows the operator to use this equipment outside of the hazardous area, notably reducing the risk factor as a result.
Available in the following weight capacities:
In addition to offering an extremely competitive price, we are also happy to say we offer next day delivery for all of these products. So, what are you waiting for? Order now and put the power of Yale behind your lift today!

When it comes to achieving safe, high-level access for workers, few methods provide the simplistic ease and efficiency of the humble man-basket.
Providing safe and versatile accessibility, man baskets have long been the preferred route of choice for many industrial workers; however, space and capacity can prove to be limiting factors.
Luckily, the good folks at Eichinger look set to make those limitations a thing of the past with the new 4-Man Man Basket!
Made with safety in mind, the 4-Man model features solid, half-height sidewalls to ensure maximum safety at height.
Fully covered for overhead safety, the basket also comes with a mesh rear wall for further stability, while also maintaining a high level of visibility from the inside out.
As if those features weren’t enough, the 4-Man also boasts internal overhead harness points to truly provide maximised safety for those on-board during use.
Additionally, the cage comes complete with a fully-moulded working tray built-in to the front. The overall unit is also painted bright orange for enhanced visibility to further enhance its safety.
The unit itself also features a 4-leg chainsling for crane use and can be operated via crane or forklift for universal versatility.
Boasting a safe working load of 660kg, the 4-Man from Eichinger is theoretically suitable for four workers of up to 165kg each (just under 26 stone).
In addition to the 4-Man version, Eichinger also offers a 2-Man Man Basket for lighter use. Featuring overhead protection, internal handrails and a mesh rear wall, the 2-Man version offers a safe and simple solution to high-level work access.
Also featuring an inward opening door, overhead harness point and 150mm floor surround, the ease and efficiency of this model makes it a firm favourite amongst contractors looking for height access for two.
Much like the 4-man, this product also boasts double-heel pin and 4-leg chainsling attributes for crane and forklift use.
A true veteran name in the industry, Eichinger Equipment Ltd has been providing high-quality lifting gear for well over a century. With a history that dates all the way back to 1904, the company has more than earned its reputation as a trusted brand.

When it comes to securing heavy-duty loads, few products can boast the versatile, load-restraining abilities of the ever-reliable ratchet strap.
Safe, secure and reliable, these durable restraints are ideal for keeping cargo in place and effectively eliminating any hazards related to falling loads. For heavy-duty transport, they are simply a must.
As always, our efforts to bring you the very best in safety lifting gear have seen our collection of ratchet straps expand this week, as we welcome a new product to the fold.
Say “hello” to the ERGO Ratchet Lashing from RatStrap.
New to the 5-tonne ratchet strap range at SLG, the ERGO Ratchet Lashing is a uniquely designed, heavy-duty ratchet strap fit for a wide variety of fastening jobs and purposes.
Unlike traditional ratchet lashings, this product features a fundamentally different approach to the tried and tested mechanism.
Instead of pushing the handle upwards to secure the lashing as is often the case, the ratchet handle on the ERGO product is pulled down in order to achieve a tighter fastening.
The result of this contrasting approach means you need to apply less force to achieve the desired tension, allowing you to achieve a firm fastening with considerably less effort.
The lashing itself measures an impressive 10 metres in length. Made from 50mm webbing, it features a claw hook on either end for simple, safe and sturdy attachment.
The aforementioned pull-down tightening action is also enhanced by a longer handle, specifically designed for ergonomic ease of use.
Capable of withstanding up to 5 tonnes of pressure, this heavy-duty ratchet lashing is also inherently absorbent of shocks, ensuring an all-round safer, more stable transit experience.
The ERGO Ratchet Lashing is the brainchild of specialist ratchet strap brand, RatStrap.
RatStrap aims to provide the most reliable, well-crafted ratchet straps on the market, with the ultimate goal of keeping your goods safe and secure as their top priority.
With RatStrap products, you know you’re not only getting a high-quality ratchet strap that provides superior safety, but you’re also getting a specialist product that’s tailor-made for the task at hand.
The ERGO Ratchet Lashing is no exception, incorporating a revolutionary approach to handle operation that makes load securing jobs considerably easier, improving the overall efficiency of the task at hand.

When it comes to working in a confined space, it’s not a job to be taken lightly. In fact, working in confined spaces poses many risks and the danger of injury or worse can be very real.
One false move or mistimed step and you could quickly find yourself in a tight spot – quite literally. As such, taking the correct safety precautions is vitally important.
Luckily, here at SLG, we have a whole host of confined space equipment specifically designed to keep you safe and sound underground.
The bread and butter of the confined space checklist, one piece of equipment that’s a veritable essential is undoubtedly the Confined Space Safety Harness.
Our P10R model is multi-functional, featuring a chest anchor point and rear dorsal attachment in the centre of the back for use as a standard fall arrester, as well as a webbing rescue point for rescue purposes involving lifting and lowering.
Critically, the positioning of the rescue point attachment ensures the user is lifted in a near-vertical position – the favoured a stance for recovering casualties that are unconscious.
Suitable for 90-120cm chest sizes and waist sizes of 85-120cm, the P10R also has extra comfort leg padding to reduce pressure on the lower extremities during rescue attempts.
For a one-stop solution for confined space safety, the Globestock 14mtr Tripod, Winch & G.Saver II Kit is the perfect all-in-one set.
Comprising of numerous confined space must-haves, including a tripod that's designed for confined space access and down-hole applications
Despite weighing just 18kg, the versatile tripod is extremely durable with a safe working load of up to 136kg. When coupled with the GSE070-150-20G G.Winch (also included), with its 20m cable and anti-run brake, rescue jobs and personnel lifting tasks can quickly become light work.
The kit also comes with the G.Saver II Recovery Fall Arrester, featuring a retrieval winch with anti-run brake and shock absorber. This comes with a 14m cable, making it ideal for confined space lifting, lowering and rescue.
If the former doesn’t quite tickle your fancy, this next entry from safety industry veterans Abtech, surely will.
Another fantastic all-in-one solution to confined space safety, the Abtech Safety CST2KIT Confined Space Tripod Kit provides a simple yet comprehensive approach to confined space access and rescue.
Featuring one ABRES Rescue Harness, T3 Tripod and AB15RT 15mtr Fall Arrest Winch – along with the necessary T05T Bracket to safely attach the winch to the tripod – this kit covers all the bases.
Stable, portable and durable, the tripod makes for a reliable anchor point, with extra individual anchor points for a myriad of additional uses, including double-roped rescue, back-up systems and communication lines.
Meanwhile, the winch has an integral winch mechanism, allowing the top user to raise or lower the user to a safe area with ease. The winch itself features 15m x 5mm cable made of galvanised steel, features a swivel anchor eye on top and has a weight capacity of 150kg.
Finally, the ABRES rescue harness provides ample support for any number of confined space tasks, with three attachment points for versatility. This too has a weight capacity of 150kg and more than capable of providing safe working suspension.
Another common hazard of working in confined spaces is the risk of gas being present. As such, knowing the status of the area you are working in is also of the utmost importance.
The BW Microclip combines a myriad of features in one handy product for a comprehensive gas safety solution.
The unit itself is compact, lightweight and water-resistant, making it ideal for any number of tasks. Meanwhile, the simple, one-button operation makes it functionally effortless.
The LCD screen displays easily identifiable icons indicating operational info, including bump test and calibration status, while it also shows real-time gas concentration readings.
The console also features bright, wide-angle visual alarm bars for clear, conspicuous alert in the event of a hazard.
For a complete comprehensive solution to confined space safety, the G-Force Confined Space Rescue Kit really does tick all the boxes.
Much like the other kits, the G-Force offering includes a tripod, winch and safety harness; however, unlike the other kits, this pack has a number of helpful additions.
In addition to the trio of products mentioned above, this kit also includes a handy tripod storage bag, a QUATTRO 4 Gas Detector, and a DRAGER 15-Minute Escape Kit.
The winch even comes with a quick fit bracket for direct and efficient affixing to the tripod, while the whole thing comes with a 12-month warranty attached.
If you’re looking for confined space set that covers all the bases in one fell swoop, the G-Force Confined Space Rescue Kit is the one for you.

When it comes to heavy-duty lifting tasks in a warehouse or worksite environment, few pieces of lifting equipment can compare to the almighty power of the forklift.
Strong, sturdy and effortless, this tried and tested machine has solved many a lifting conundrum and been the answer to countless workday lifting prayers the world over.
However, forklifts are far more than just a glorified lift/lower trolley for palletised goods. In fact, with the right attachment, forklifts can be very versatile tools to have in your on-site arsenal.
From fork extensions to lifting hooks, the wide array of forklift attachments varies greatly, providing you with a myriad of options for an equally wide range of tasks. Here are a few of our most popular forklift attachments to help you get started.
Available in a variety of load capacities (ranging from 1 tonne up to 5 tonnes), the fork truck swivel hook provides a quick, easy and economical solution to lifting and positioning awkward, unpalletised goods.
This add-on also offers positional freedom, allowing attachment at any point along the fork blade before the taper. With swivel hook and bow shackle included, this product also features zinc-plated twist screws for safe attachment.

The extended jib includes nine different lifting positions between 1m and 3m range. Meanwhile, it also comes complete with two swivel hooks and bow shackles for additional load stability and has zinc-plated heel pins to ensure safe attachment.
Available in the following load capacities:
For tall and awkward loads, the Adjustable Height Extended Jib is the perfect tool for the task. With adjustable angled lifting at 0, 15, 30 and 45 degrees, the angle can be easily adjusted to suit your specific load and environmental requirements.
The jib also includes multiple hook positions for additional versatility, with several load centres between 95cm and 385cm. Also zinc-plated and painted bright orange, safety is a key area that hasn’t gone unchecked either.
