Using Our 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 Lifting Gear Direct. 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, lifting 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 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 lifting equipment which is sub-divided into smaller segments with options for beam attachments, for items like beam clamps and trolleys; plate lifting 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, 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.
