The UK's construction industry has many different divisions, but all of them require the need for durable and safety-tested equipment. electric stage hoist

That's why many businesses are currently seeking trustworthy tools which can keep their workers safe and help them work as efficiently as possible.

UK Lifting Store is a well-established company with more than 45 years of industry experience, dedicated to providing its clients with high-quality products at affordable prices. It aims to offer fantastic customer service and stocks a range of lifting equipment and accessories such as hoists, clamps, ratchet straps, towing straps, and more.

Some of the company's most popular product collections include its manual chain hoists, which are commonly used across the agriculture industry, and its lever hoists, which are often utilised for event rigging and stage set-up. The store stocks wire rope hoists as well, which are useful in emergency rescue operations.

This Manual Chain Hoist from the brand comes in varying lift heights ranging from 3 metres to 12 metres. Customers can select a maximum lifting weight for the product, ranging from 500kg to 20,000kg - that's strong enough to lift a Sei Whale from Norway.

This Ratchet Lever Hoist from the UK Lifting Store is also strong, and depending on the version customers order, it can hold between 750kg and 6,000kg - that's the same amount as an African Forest Elephant.

And many emergency services would be lost without the help of a Wire Rope Hoist such as the one stocked by the Lifting UK Store. This product comes in varying strengths between 800kg and 3,200kg, which is roughly the same weight as a hippopotamus. This means the equipment could easily lift an animal of smaller size too, if the hoist was attached to a farming vehicle or crane for example.

That wouldn't be unusual to see either, as last year Leicestershire Live reported that a cow was rescued from drowning using slings attached to a hoist via a tractor, after getting stuck in the River Soar. Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service (LRFS) attended the scene, helping the animal get to safety.

All of the UK Lifting Store's products come with an E.C Declaration of Conformity and are designed to help labourers work as efficiently as possible.

Although the company is headquartered in Cradely Heath in the Black Country, often referred to as the country's manufacturing capital, the UK Lifting Store can supply businesses with next-day dispatch on orders made after 1pm*. The company also offers a price match guarantee if customers find a better deal elsewhere.

But that's not all. If customers need any help or guidance on one of the brand's products, they can call the UK Lifting Store Helpline from 9am to 5pm every Monday to Friday on 0121 3680 662, or chat via WhatsApp on 07949 035065.
