Different types of lifting gear

There are many types of lifting gear products. Below we will write a little about the different lifting gear types. There is no such thing as the best lifting gear because it differs from the elements that need to be lifted and where to. Each type has their advantages and disadvantages:

A crane
- Cranes are large, mobile machines that are used to lift and move heavy loads.
  
  They are typically used in construction, manufacturing, and shipping industries. Cranes come in a variety of sizes and styles, including mobile cranes, tower cranes, and overhead cranes. Mobile cranes are mounted on a truck or a trailer and can be moved around a construction site. Tower cranes are used on tall buildings and are anchored to the ground. Overhead cranes are used in manufacturing facilities and are mounted on a rail system.
A hoist
- Hoists are small, less mobile machines that are used to lift and move heavy loads.
  
  They are typically used in manufacturing and shipping industries. Hoists come in a variety of styles, including chain hoists, wire rope hoists, and electric hoists. Chain hoists use a chain to lift the load, while wire rope hoists use a wire rope. Electric hoists are powered by electricity and can be used to lift heavy loads with minimal effort.
A sling
- Slings are ropes, chains, or other materials that are used to lift and move heavy loads.
  
  They are typically used in conjunction with cranes and hoists to lift and move heavy loads. Slings come in a variety of styles, including chain slings, wire rope slings, and synthetic slings. Chain slings are made of chain and are used to lift heavy loads. Wire rope slings are made of wire rope and are used to lift heavy loads. Synthetic slings are made of synthetic materials such as nylon and are used to lift heavy loads.
Lifting table
- A lifting table lifts heavy objects between smaller distances or between levels.
  
  A lifting table comes in all sized and can be equipped with a lot of different accessories and be made from various kinds of steel to accommodate different needs. They are mostly powered by hydraulics but electric lifting tables are also a popular solution as well as manual lifting tables. Get your lifting table static or as a mobile scissor lift. We are experts in lifting tables. See our standard products here.
Loading bay
- A loading bay is a platform that equalizes the height gap between an unloading/loading truck and the warehouse. floor.
  
  A loading bay might be handy in open yards, a bank, a dock, a warehouse, or any other facility that receives or distributes goods.
  Loading and unloading trucks or containers, handling pallets and goods, multi-height vehicle docking, roll cages, and managing any delivery related tasks by diverse delivery sites, buildings without elevated docks, basements, staircases, and warehouses are all possible applications.
Work platform
- Working at heights is safe and efficient with a work platform. The platform lifts and lowers persons, goods, and tools.
  
  The platform is intended for lifting and lowering persons, goods, and tools. A work platform allows you to quickly reach difficult spots and enhance working conditions. You can equip your work platform with wheels, transforming it into a mobile work platform.
Goods lift
- A lifting platform that makes it easier to carry materials from one level to another while maintaining ergonomics,
  
  Based on our scissor structure, goods lifts can move cargo up to 4500 mm between floors and mezzanines. A goods lift is particularly useful in a warehouse or a retail establishment when heavy loads of items need to be moved from one level to another. A goods lift can be made with a shaft which makes it resemble a goods elevator.
Other types of lifting gear
- This includes spreader beams, lifting beams, and lifting magnets.
  
  Spreader beams are used to lift and move heavy loads that are too wide to be lifted by a single sling. Lifting beams are used to lift and move heavy loads that are too long to be lifted by a single sling. Lifting magnets are used to lift and move metal loads, such as steel plates and beams.

It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and inspection and to keep accurate records.

The use of lifting gear is regulated by government and international standards such as LOLER, OSHA, ANSI, and ISO. These standards provide guidelines for the design, construction, testing, and use of lifting gear to ensure the safety of workers and the public. Furthermore, many machines have a requirement for how frequently they must be checked. Employers are responsible for ensuring that the lifting gear used by their employees is in compliance with these standards.
