When it comes to top-quality engineering, Italy undoubtedly ranks highly on the list – look no further than the Ferrari for proof of that.
In the construction industry, the theme holds true and few equipment manufacturers can match up to the lofty standards set by Italian giants, Boscaro.
At SafetyLiftinGear.com, we know this all too well – which is exactly why we stock a wide variety of Boscaro products.
To give you a taste of Boscaro collection, here are a few of the most popular Boscaro products we have in stock at SLG.
Ideal for use with a variety of lifting hoists, these heavy-duty tipping buckets have been built with durability in mind, fully certified and compliant to EN standards.
Made from quality materials for heavy-duty construction purposes, these easy-to-use tipping buckets feature a simple tipping mechanism for effortless tipping and discharge.
These are currently available in the following capacities:
Naturally, the weight capacity increases with the size, ranging from 132kg limit for the 60 litre version, all the way up to 390kg for the 150 litre model. That’s roughly the weight of a horse!
While we don’t recommend using these buckets to hoist any stallions, there’s no doubt that they certainly provide some serious bang for your buck.
As the name suggests, these circular skips are tailor-made to for muck and waste removal, while they can also be used for site clearance.
Featuring two safety catches for additional user protection during the loading and unloading process, the cleverly engineered design allows the skip to empty automatically, utilising the lifting arm’s centre of gravity.
The weight limit of the 250 litre model reaches a maximum capacity of 650kg, while the larger 1000 litre version can handle as much as 2600kg of weight. For those keeping score, that’s the weight of a giraffe.
Luckily, you won’t be sticking your neck out with these products. They’re built to last and able to handle some serious weight. Simply choose the model with the capacity that suits your purpose and let the skip do the heavy lifting for you.
For smaller jobs, Boscaro even has a Plastic Circular Muck Skip for loads of up to 70 litres, capable of withstanding up to 150kg of weight (roughly the weight of a panda).
Perfect for general use around site, these self-dumping bins are a great addition to your on-site kit. Available in 600 litre and 800 litre versions, these bins couldn’t be easier to use: simply attach to a crane hook, lift and watch it automatically tip.
Complete with both fixed and swivel castors for effortless mobility around site, each bin also comes with two handles on the back for enhanced manoeuvrability, while they also feature brakes for safe and secure positioning when stationary.
Boscaro’s crane forks make for a fantastic addition to on-site crane user’s arsenal. Fully adjustable in height and fork width to suit the task at hand, these handy attachments are also self-balancing, allowing the load to stay level during the actual lifting process.
Made from high-quality steel, durability isn’t an issue here – these forks are built to take the pressure and have a varying weight capacity of 2 tonnes or 3 tonnes depending on the chosen model.
For additional protection, they also come with a facility to attach a protection net if required. Fully tested and certified, with a 2-year warranty in toe, this is one product that won’t let you down when it’s time to lift.
In addition to the above examples, we also stock a number of specialist attachments for site use. Some of the most popular of these can be found below:
Fitted with rotating rubber-coated plates, these reliable kerb grabbing attachments are perfect for lifting long objects of up to 1000kg from a horizontal position to vertical.
Fully automatic and fully adjustable, these block lifting grabs are capable of hoisting up to 1800kg in weight, complete with side handles for manual stability.
Fitted with crane fork pockets for easy site transit, these safety cages are ideal for transporting bricks and blocks, with hinged gate for simple accessibility.

A full body harness is a harness designed to hold the wearer upright in the event of a fall from height. If worn correctly, a full body harness will distribute the energy generated during free-fall across the wearers' body evenly, reducing the potential for serious injury.
Full-body harnesses should be the first choice when it comes to working at height because they offer:
When looking at how full body harnesses are designed, there are a few common features that you can expect to see on any full body harness:
Before you carry out any work at height, you should always assess the potential risks. Unfortunately, falling from height is a common cause of injuries and fatalities in the workplace. It's important that you know when a full body harness is, or isn't required. Your employee should carry out a full risk assessment before you carry out any work at height, notifying you if a full body harness is required while you complete your tasks.
In situations where a fall from height is a serious risk, you don't want to be putting on any old harness and making your ascent. Choosing a full body harness that suits your weight and job requirements is paramount for your safety. Your full body harness should always:
All of our full body harnesses can be found in our height safety range. We stock a variety of full body harnesses, including hi-viz full body harnesses, full body rescue harnesses and harnesses and lanyard rated to 140kgs. Give us a call on 0117 9381 600 if you have any questions.
Just when you thought we couldn't make your life at work any easier, we go and throw these new Loadsurfer pallet trucks into the mix! Choose either the semi or fully-electric option depending on your personal preferences. We've tried them both and we're certain they'll make your load moving tasks 100 times easier.
What makes these Loadsurfer pallet trucks different to other semi and fully-electric pallet trucks you've seen before?
The semi-electric pallet truck is an excellent alternative to a hand pallet truck. However, if you will sometimes prefer a manual pallet truck this is a great option for you - it's the best of both worlds!
The manually operated forks can lift loads up to 115mm off the ground. If you're working on slopes of 5% or less with loads weighing up to 1800kg, this semi-electric pallet truck will tackle them no problem.
Semi Electric >
The fully-electric option is ideal if you find you never require a manual pallet truck to get the job done! Our fully-powered pallet truck will keep you on the move all day long.
It can shift loads weighing up to 1500kg up and down slopes with a 6% gradient (1% more than it's semi-electric counterpart). It can also travel an impressive 0.5km faster than the semi-electric when laden.
Fully Electric >
If you have any questions about either of our new Loadsurfer pallet trucks, don't hesitate to contact us. Both models are available to buy or hire depending on your needs.
At SafetyLiftinGear.com, we like to think we know a thing or two about lifting gear safety. If we didn’t, we may need to consider a company name change!
As such, it’s only fair that we pass some of that knowledge on to you and today we’re doing just that on the subject of lifting slings.
So, gather round the SLG learning tree as we shine some light on the rainbow-coloured world of colour-coded lifting slings.

I'm sure that lifting equipment isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words 'tag line'. And while we could sit here all day and reel off popular tag lines like, I'm lovin' it and you're worth it, these aren't the kind of tag lines we're addressing today.
If you work with cranes or other lifting equipment, you might have come across these mysterious 'other' tag lines before. In a construction setting, tag lines are used to help steady heavy loads as they ascend into the air, preventing uncontrollable spinning and accidental damage. I know, it doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but work with me here.
The type of Crane Tag Lines that we currently offer are the TAGATTACH Grip Rope Tag Lines, designed to make steadying heavy or awkward loads simple! Each of our Crane Tag Lines is:
As if this didn't make these tag lines appealing enough, they also feature a reflective strip which means they can be used in low light conditions, or during the night.
When you choose our Crane Tag Lines, you can forget having to worry about securing your load using (often unreliable) ropes and knots. Our Crane Tag Lines feature either a reliable quick attach and release lifting eye or a sturdy steel snap hook that makes the attachment job ten times easier!
Your load doesn't have a suitable attachment point? Not to worry, this is where our Rubberised Straps come into play. Simply secure the rubberised strap around your load and secure the Crane Tag Lines to your rubberised strap instead!
We really think that our new range of Crane Tag Lines and Rubberised Straps will fit right in with your existing lifting equipment! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us on 0117 9381 600.

First up is the SK2 SpillKart. While it may look more like a children’s porta-loo than a site storage box, this handy haulable doesn’t house any nasty surprises.
In fact, it’s specifically designed for the exact opposite! This useful kart is perfect for storing all your spill control products, allowing you to deal with a spill efficiently, safely and effectively.
With all your spill essentials in one place, it also comes with a 60-litre general purpose spill kit. What’s more, as this is an Armorgard product, it should come as no surprise that it also has a padlock-friendly latch to boot.
Featuring shatterproof rubber wheels, a rubber seal around the lid and made from high-density plastic, this is one sturdy spill storage box that won’t drive you potty!
If you’re working on-site and have high-price items on hand, it can be a neon sign for thieves – especially when it comes to items like copper fittings and cabling.
Keep your high-ticket items out of reach and under lock and key, with the FC6 FittingStor secure site cabinet, specifically designed to keep crooks at bay.
With robust wire mesh on all four sides, this sturdy storage cage is perfect for housing your expensive items in one safe yet mobile location.

Much like its meshy brother, the FC2 FittingStor cabinet is another fantastic on-site storage unit. Providing robust security and ample mobility features, it boasts keyed alike 5-lever deadlocks, heavy-duty doors with fixed hinges and a secluded anti-jemmy system.
While it is slightly smaller than the FC6 model, its ultra-tough exterior is completely opaque from the outside. This allows you to store power tools and smaller accessories within it both safely and discreetly, without providing thieves with a shop window.
Continuing the theme of copper protection, the PS3.0 PipeStor is perfect for storing lengths of piping in a safe and organised manner.
Often referred to as a “copper coffin”, this is one site storage container that will stop thieves dead in their tracks. With a single-end access point through a securely lockable door, there’s one way in and one way out.
From a functionality standpoint, it’s also offers the freedom of an extendable body, allowing you to increase the 1.5m length of the unit by bolting on additional 1.5m sections if need be.
Complete with heavy-duty castors, this mobile site storage box also features four distinct sections for a systematic approach to content arrangement.
Did you know that strimmers are one of the most commonly stolen power tools in the UK? It’s true! Keep your strimmers safe with this bit of cutting-edge tech from Armorgard.
As the name suggest, the SS2 StrimmerSafe Storage Rack is primarily designed for safe storage of strimmers – that much speaks for itself. However, it’s also ideal for storing similar items, such as chainsaws, hedge cutters and even leaf blowers.
Capable of storing up to five strimming items, the hard-wearing StrimmerSafe boasts twin 5-lever deadlocks for reliability. For additional security and functionality, the unit can also be bolted to a wall if preferred.
Featuring a hinged, heavy-duty welded lid, the StrimmerSafe is also fitted with a bunded drip tray at the base to contain any accidental spills of oil or fuel.
If you prefer your strimmers to be kept safely secured in a more conventional manner, the StrimmerSafe Vault may be the product for you.
Also specifically designed for strimmers and the like, this highly secure site storage box is built for secure durability, complete with anti-force construction and an innovative heavy-duty locking mechanism.
With keyed alike 5-lever deadlock, the box is virtually impenetrable without permission. Even the deadlocks are serial numbered for specific key replacement.
Inside, this site storage container also features double slots, allowing you to store one or two strimmers as needed. Even the lid itself is optimised for owner accessibility, made with hydraulic gas struts for easy opening when required.
