Check Out our Choice of Hydraulic Couplings!

mike products

Over time, the hydraulic coupling connecting your hydraulic hose to your hydraulic cylinder may become faulty due to wear and tear. If you have noticed your hydraulic coupling has seen better days, you may be tempted to replace it. Couplings are used to join two pieces of rotating equipment whilst allowing some degree of misalignment. They are also used to help transfer power; and can also be used to protect against over loads, and to reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to the other. Therefore, it's vitally important that if your hydraulic coupling has become faulty, you replace it as soon as possible to ensure everything is working efficiently.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear.com, we have a choice of two high-quality couplings that will ensure there is a solid connection between your hydraulic hose and cylinder. Our range of couplings includes:

Aid Your Winching With a Heavy Duty Snatch Block

jodie products

When using a winch, sometimes more pulling power is needed to complete the mission at hand. This can be either because the winch is not strong enough or fast enough; in either case, this is where you need the help of a heavy duty snatch block. Heavy duty snatch blocks are designed to improve the capacities of winches and are used for either re-directing loads or as a hoisting system.

Winching is typically needed to recover vehicles from ditches, moving items from your path (such as a tree) and hoisting heavy items. Snatch blocks ensure the rope used to pull the item stays secure and can also be used to change the direction of the load. They also increase the amount of cable that can be run off the drum, meaning that a heavier load can be pulled easily. They are simple to use and un-clip open, allowing users to place the winch cable directly into the snatch block.

Browse Our Full Collection of Heavy Duty Snatch Blocks

To watch a heavy duty snatch block in action, here's a video from Tow Academy using a snatch block on a tree to recover a wrecked car. As you can see in this video, the heavy duty snatch block aided their operation efficiently and was able to change the direction of the vehicle:

Pretty impressive, right? Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we stock a wide range of heavy duty snatch blocks which are capable of increasing your winch capacities on a large scale and can help you out of many sticky situations, as seen in the video above. Our heavy duty snatch blocks range from 2 tonne to 12 tonne and can be attached to both hooks and shackles. Here are two of our most popular options of snatch block:

Hazard Demarcation: Keep Roof Workers Safe

robin products

We regularly read health and safety news stories about roof safety, or the lack of, so why do companies continue to neglect safe working procedures whilst working at height?

Along with the obvious risks of falls and slips near the roof edge, there are also a number of hazards which exist on the roof itself, which carry risks to both the workers and the building in question. Many flat roofed buildings have equipment such as air conditioning units and solar panels mounted to their surface, which can easily be damaged, or present health and safety risks to workers.

In order to ensure that workers are not put in danger when working on roof-based equipment and surfaces, an efficient system should be put in place in order to ensure that potential dangers are clearly marked.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a huge selection of safety systems for working at height, including products to point out hazards efficiently. Included in our range of equipment is our Steel Demarcation Safety Post, a product designed with the specific purpose of marking safe working areas on flat rooftops:

Used in combination with other posts and a system of chains, this hazard demarcation product can help to ensure that off-limits areas are clearly pointed out, and that safe passages to work areas are created. It is suitable for use on a number of roof surfaces, including single-ply, bituminous and concrete, making it a highly flexible product for working at height across a variety of locations. It can also provide additional safety benefits thanks to its robust design, which has the ability to withstand wind speeds of up to 80 miles per hour!
