robin products

If you're looking for a chain that will meet the exact requirements and conditions of your operation, then you're sure to find the solution you need amongst our comprehensive selection of chains; all of which come in a great range of sizes.

From heavy duty lifting applications, to area marking and crowd management, our chains are designed to provide the strength, durability and flexibility needed for each individual task. While all our chains are able to be used in a variety of operations, the chains we provide can be divided into two specific types, in order to aid the decision of those placing the order:

Lifting Chains

The term 'lifting chains' refers to the heavy-duty chains in our selection, which are made from steel, and are suitable for use in heavy lifting, towing, or load binding applications. These range from grade 80-100, and come in a choice of length/weight specifications, which should be considered carefully before placing your order.

Barrier Chains

Our barrier chain reels also come in a selection of lengths, as well as a variety of material finishes, in order to suit many environmental and operational demands. While they are most commonly used as part of barrier systems for crowd segregation, car parks and other applications of this nature, they can also perform an assortment of other low-duty functions, such as suspending signs and light fittings.

Specialist Safety Harnesses

adam products

We often stress the importance of using height safety equipment, however, it is also important to keep in mind the nature of the task you are completing, in order to ensure that the item is suitable for the demands of your work and environment. While the proper use of a safety harness is a step in the right direction, in terms of providing safety and security at height, the second step is to make sure that the harness you choose is able to provide great functionality, along with additional safety where required.

At SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a wide selection of harnesses for business and recreational use, including specially designed harnesses for use in specific operations and environments. Here are just some of the harnesses in our selection:

Fire Safety Harness

Like electricity, fire hazards should be taken into account when choosing your safety harness, in order to ensure that it is able to perform safely. Whether you are likely to be operating near open flames, or simply with flammable materials, it is essential that your harness is able to withstand these conditions, in order to provide the highest level of safety. The harness above is made with fire retardant fibres, making it ideal for performing potentially dangerous work involving fire, or for completing a fire rescue operation.

As well as our specialist safety harnesses, we also provide a great range of secure and adaptable models for a range of other uses, whether you require a quick release function, or a multi purpose harness with various functions.

Spreader Beams - Increasing the Lifting Loads of your Sling

Admin products

Lifting wide, heavy loads requires you to attach a sling to either end of the load enabling you to lift it efficiently. But the problem with this, is that it increases the horizontal forces on the sling because the angles of the sling are less than 90 degrees. These forces add to the weight that's being lifted of the load, so this requires a larger lifting force to lift the load. Spreader Beams are hugely beneficial because it eliminates the amount of horizontal forces applied on slings, allowing you to have a larger lifting force. Spreader Beams are popular with indoor cranes because the beams are built with a single point connection, so they take less crane height to lift due to there being no rigging above the beam.

Here are Safety Lifting Gear we have an excellent range of Modular Spreader Beams, each with a different working load limit and length in beams. All of our beams are versatile and fully certified, and tested. If you're looking for a strong, cost effective Spreader beam, you've come to the right place!
