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.

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:

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!

Heavy-duty load moving skates are a handy and versatile piece of kit to have in your arsenal, particularly when it comes to industrial environments, such as warehouses.
Ideal for lifting and shifting heavy and awkward goods, our polyurethane machine moving skates are virtually invaluable and a must-have for any company that deals with heavy goods and machinery.
If you work in an industrial environment and are looking for a heavy-duty moving solution, get your skates on with these new heavy-duty load moving skate sets from SafetyLiftinGear.com!
Perfect for use in a variety of industrial settings, from factories to shipyards, the new load moving skate sets from Loadsurfer provide simple moving capability for heavy loads over short distances.
Specifically designed for heavy-duty manual handling, these durable dollies are designed for enhanced manoeuvrability and are excellent for moving awkward items – such as heavy equipment and machinery – into the desired position/location.
The Loadsurfer Moving Skate Set comes in two distinct weight categories: 48-tonne version and 64-tonne version. To put that into context, that’s equivalent to 8 and 11 elephants respectively.
Both feature a steering skate with turntable for versatile directional freedom during operation. The handle provides pulling/steering functionality while the turntable features a bearing for easy turning.
Complete with a heavy-duty design, both models also come with polyurethane wheels for enhanced durability, long-lasting performance and reduced risk of floor damage, ensuring the job is completed safely and efficiently.
Best of all, both the 48-tonne version and 64-tonne model are available to hire as well as purchase, should you require them for short-term use.

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.
Each product encapsulated the world-renowned quality of German-engineering, providing robust and durable lifting solutions. The Man Basket range is no exception and fully exemplifies just why Eichinger has been able to stay at the top of the game for so long.
Don’t take our word for it: check out these great products now and see for yourself!
