SafetyLiftinGear recently supplied some heavy-duty lifting equipment to help construction company Skyklass complete a job in Central London.
We rented out an assortment of slings, hoists and lifting beams to assist with the installation of a pre-fabricated roof light weighing 17.2 tonnes.
Here's what Skyklass hired from us:
All equipment was supplied by our London depot. Everything was delivered to the site in Central London and collected once the job had been successfully completed.

We are pleased to announce that we have added a selection of comfortable kneeling mats to our ever-expanding range of tools and equipment for tradespeople.
These portable kneeling mats are ideal for jobs that require you to kneel down for extended periods. Being on your knees can be very uncomfortable, especially if you're kneeling on a hard surface, and chronic aches and pains are common among workers who have to kneel on a regular basis.
Putting one of our soft kneeling mats between your knees and the ground reduces your risk of injury. These kneeling mats are durable enough to be used outdoors, and if the ground is wet, your kneeling mat will also help you to stay dry.
Our kneeling mats are especially popular among tradespeople who frequently kneel down to work. For example:
But these multifunctional kneeling mats aren't just for work. They also have many uses around the house!

When working at height, it's important to ensure that your tools - and any other items you have on your person - cannot fall to the ground. Even small objects like bolts and screws can be very dangerous when dropped from a great height.
If you carry your equipment in a work bag, that bag must be properly topped to stop its contents from falling out. (We discussed this previously in our blog about The Three Ts of Height Safety.)
To help you prevent accidents while working at height, we've added a range of secure storage bags to the SafetyLiftinGear website. These bags are available to order now, and all of them are specifically designed to prevent tools and equipment from falling out - even if the bag is turned upside down.
These tool bags can be attached to your belt or safety harness while working at height. They're perfect for keeping tools safe - store your tools inside the bag or use the attachment points on the outside so you don't have to rummage around in the middle of a job.
Available in three different sizes:

These extra-large storage bags are ideal for storing PPE, climbing rope and other important hardware. The bags are waterproof and the fold-over lid helps to keep your kit from falling out.

This 300kg Load Arrestor from LiftinGear is perfect for preventing the fall of objects like light systems and construction materials. It has a 10mtr long, galvanised steel fall arrest cable that will stop a fall and limit the impact force. Whether you work on a film set or a construction site, this fall arrestor is sure to come in handy!
Dropping a piece of equipment or a tool from height can cause serious accidents and injuries. A great way to prevent accidents like this from happening is to invest in a retractable tool lanyard. Not only will it protect others who are working below you, but it will also keep your equipment close at hand while you work at height.
The G-Force AY010 2kg Retractable Lanyard features a lock and strap that can be wrapped around your waist belt or harness & secured with the velcro fastener. It's got a built-in carabiner with a swivel shackle that will keep your tools safe while still allowing you to work and move them freely.
We hope these products will come in handy for your next job. As always, if you have any questions about the products we feature, you can reach our team of experts by calling 0117 9381 600 or you can drop us an email at sales@safetyliftingear.com.
