This is probably the most commonly used fall arrest category in our online shop. We offer a great choice of fall arrest harnesses made by leading manufacturers.

People often request fall arrest lanyards not realising that there are so many different types of lanyard to cater for different applications, disciplines and industries! There are also so many different types of terminations and karabiner types. We offer the most commonly requested fall arrest lanyards though there are actually three main types of lanyard! We offer fall arrest shock absorbing lanyards, restraint lanyards used to prevent the worker from being exposed to a potential fall when working at height (not fall arrest) and then there are work positioning lanyards (pole straps) which are designed to be used in conjunction with fall protection. A pole strap fits to a harness or belt (EN358) to provide support (Not shock absorbing). Pole straps are often used as adjustable restraint lanyards. We offer a massive variety of lanyard to choose from made by some of the world’s leading fall arrest equipment manufacturers. Single leg, twin leg and some elasticated and tie-back lanyards. There are also various compositions i.e. Rope lanyard and webbing type lanyard.

We offer fall arrest equipment kits to provide fall protection quickly and cost effectively, manufactured by Top Quality height safety equipment manufacturers. We offer the following manufacturers Protecta, Miller, Tractel, Yale, Sala, Ridgegear and more so that there is a kit option to suit almost all working at height disciplines. Our height safety kits incorporate inertia reels, fall arrest and restraint lanyards, fall arrest harnesses, pole straps and many more components. Different manufacturers use different names for their kits even though they contain very similar fall protection equipment; for this reason we list the height safety kits by manufacturer’s name, by industry sector and by the contents of the kit. This way we make it simple and quick to navigate to the most appropriate product for the application. We can also tailor/make-up special kits to suit your individual needs where required.

LiftingSafety offer an unrivalled collection of fall arrest inertia reel blocks online which are items of fall arrest equipment also referred to as fall arrest Inertia reels, Self-retracting life Lines (SRL and SRL's) and Personal Fall Limiters (PFL, PFL's, fall arrest pulleys). We offer small and large, lightweight and robust options to suit all applications. Inertia reels are great for minimizing the distance of the fall and therefor reduce the consequence of the fall which is typically the injury caused by a fall. The PFL personal fall arrestors are small, and light weight, ideal for everyday use. We offer long length inertia reels up to 60 metre cable length and options with Atex (Spark resistant) approval. We supply SRL's with an integrated rescue winch to retrieve the casualty after a fall has occurred. This rescue winch raises/lowers the casualty to safety.

This category contains machines certified for lifting persons, either to gain access /egress or for casualty rescue applications after a fall. It is sometimes difficult to choose the best liftinghoist (winch) to suit an application, if in doubt please ask our technical staff for the best solution. Things to consider when choosing a man-riding winch are: application, anchorage point, fibre or steel rope, length of rope required, speed of lift required, duty factor (how often it will be used) physical size and weight, environment - please phone for help and assistance. Man-riding hoists are often referred to as a man-riding winch or a rescue winch though this is technically incorrect as a winch is for pulling applications and a hoist used for lifting. We offer man-riding hoists from many top quality fall arrest equipment manufacturers including Tractel, Miller, Yale, Ridgegear, Sala, Protecta and more.

Our LiftingSafety Fall arrest equipment rescue category is very enlightening and covers two main disciplines for people working at height. We sell rescue equipment for retrieval/rescuing a fallen person. To comply with the working at height directive the employer must provide a rescue plan and this means providing the equipment and training to enable the person fallen to be speedily rescued. Working at height also includes working below ground! A rescue plan must also be in place for persons not directly exposed to a fall when there is no practical means of egress should the person become incapacitated; for example rescue from an overhead crane even if the crane bridge is fitted with hand rails! Rescue systems can be supplied to remotely rescue a casualty without exposing the rescuer to a potential fall by using a remote extending rescue pole though it also means that there is no need to use rope access techniques to connect to the fallen worker to the rescue tackle. Emergency evacuation is when the worker needs to egress quickly, for example if emergency escape from an oil platform or working on a crane bridge and there is a fire in the working area. We offer a very good range of kits and equipment for both rescue and for self-evacuation for premium height safety manufacturers so please consider contacting us for a competitive quotation.
