Are Your Height Safety Team Safe?

Posted on October 10, 2018 by Phil

The average weight of males in North Western Europe has increased over the last 30 years so, when using height safety equipment, its important that you check the operatives weight including tools. If this exceeds 100 kg, you are required to use PPE that is suitable for weights above 100 kg according to CNB/P/11.062.

The element with the lowest capacity always determines the maximum capacity of the entire height safety system. Tractel, is the first to supply a complete range of 150 kg rated height safety equipment that meets European regulations.

You can buy the new ‘High Capacity’ range here at Anglia Handling Services.

NEW – Tawi Mobile VacuEasylift Vacuum Hoist

Posted on September 5, 2018 by Phil

Tawi have designed a very clever mobile VacuEasylift vacuum hoist that is ideal as an order picker for lifting goods from racking and also unloading containers.

The tube type lifter works in the same way as the original static version but uses a battery operated pump and motor unit.

The mobile function is via a separate truck that could be a forklift or just a pallet truck to move it into position.
