Using Our Lifting Gear Website

The term lifting equipment covers a monstrous range of products and it can become very confusing when trying to find exactly what you are looking for, especially when a website has so many products on offer like ours. This is often because products are broken down and listed under sub-category headings, so unless you know the right term it can be difficult to find.

We have taken this into consideration and hope you find our website easy to navigate, many of our customer have said they like the layered, structural layout.

In short there are just a couple of main categories - equipment, material handling, height safety and Servicing inspections, the smallest category. Material handling has the next fewest sub-categories including forklift attachments, load moving equipment such as machine skates and pallet trucks, and also includes drum handling equipment which includes drum lifters, drum trucks and forklift truck mounted drum handling equipment.

Our largest category is for equipment which is sub-divided into smaller segments with options for beam attachments, for items like beam clamps and trolleys; plate equipment for lifting magnets, and plate clamps; Other Lifting Clamps & Grabs; Hydraulics for products including bottle jacks, cylinders and pumps. Other sub categories include load and force calculation equipment, load cells, wire rope products and winches.

The above are just a few examples; to find the full list hover over our mega menu at the top of the page in the blue banner where you will see the main sub categories, click to choose. You can also use the left side navigation menu, once you have clicked to a page the full sub-category menu will display on the left. Please contact us if you have difficulty finding a particular type of product, we will help you to navigate the site.

As well as our range of products, we offer servicing and maintenance on all equipment, site inspections, testing and the initial setup of equipment, as well as delivery using our well-connected distribution network. As we are perfectly placed in the centre of the United Kingdom, based in the West Midlands, we can provide swift and efficient delivery and repairs to all corners of the UK. We also offer advice and information on vital things to consider within the lifting and equipment industry, such as height safety and its rules and regulations.

Our Custom Lifting Products

Customers of Lifting Gear Direct can enjoy a completely tailor made service when they order our own brand of products. Our line up is especially impressive given the amount of customisation that is achievable. Take our jib cranes, for example. You can order this type of equipment in a number of different configurations to suit the kind of lifting operations you want to complete and the space you have available on-site. Our over braced jib cranes are ideal in settings where overhead obstacles are not an issue. You will be able to use the full run of the beam to manoeuvre any attachments you pick and shift loads more efficiently as a result. Our under braced swing jibs are more compact, but can still be selected with different beam lengths, lifting heights and accessories. For even more lifting flexibility, we also produce mobile gantry cranes. This range is just as customisable as its counterparts, yet gives you the additional convenience of being able to reposition your equipment by rolling it into place on the included heavy duty castors. Our light weight, customisable aluminium gantries should also catch the attention of customers with specific needs to fulfil. This range is less susceptible to corrosion than similarly specified equipment, while also being sturdy enough to brush off the wear and tear of regular use.

Our Accessories

To make the most of your equipment needs, you need accessories that will let you use it efficiently and safely. We can help you order all of the add-ons and extras that will round out your assembly perfectly. Our shackle range exemplifies this, with general purpose stainless steel units sitting happily alongside special shackles that are designed to fulfil a unique role in a particular context.  We also stock snatch blocks and sheave blocks, bringing you the best lifting solutions you never knew you needed and providing them at a competitive price point. If you are in need of a gin wheel or rope pulley to top off your equipment configuration, just as LGD and we will talk you through your options.

Our Brand Partners

We understand that a lot of our customers are familiar with and loyal to specific brands, which is why you will find so many of the biggest and best names in the business on our site. You can shop by brand if you want to limit your product search to only include items that originate from a given manufacturer. This should save you a lot of time.  Of course Lifting Gear Direct is a brand in its own right and if you are interested in all of the different products and extras we manufacture in-house, you can seek out these special products right here.
