“Sure it’ll do…” 👀

Not quite! 😂

We’re carrying out a Thorough Examination on this Manitou telehandler when we spot a bent bolt being used where the proper safety clip should be.

Bolt out. Correct safety clip in. ✅

It’s the wee things that matter when you’re lifting serious weight! 💪

Turnbuckles & Rigging Screws, what are they used for? 🔩

Both are used for tensioning and adjusting cables, wires and other rigging applications.

Turnbuckles are commonly used for things like fencing, bracing and cable systems, while rigging screws are often used where a stronger, more permanent tensioning solution is required.

And the good news, we have both available in stock at Tomax Lifting Solutions.

Need the right size or type for your application? Give us a shout, we’re happy to help.

⚠️ This one lifting hook could save your company thousands.

When welding suspended loads, stray current can travel through your lifting gear and into your overhead crane, potentially causing costly damage to critical components. An insulated swivel hook helps reduce that risk, protecting your equipment, reducing downtime, and saving on expensive repairs.

Protect your crane. Protect your investment.

⚠️ The equipment in this video has failed inspection.

The next lift could have been the one that caused a serious injury or fatality.

That’s why failed lifting equipment should be immediately removed from service and prevented from ever being used again.

No shortcut is worth a life.

⚠️ LOOK UP TO LIVE ⚠️

We were proud to team up with NIE Networks on their latest safety campaign.

When working with plant & machinery, it’s easy to focus on what’s in front of you… but the real danger could be above.

Overhead powerlines are silent, invisible risks and one wrong move can be life changing.

🚜 Whether you’re operating excavators, telehandlers, or tipper lorries:
👉 Always check your surroundings
👉 Know your height limits
👉 Keep a safe distance

Don’t take the risk.
Look up… to live.

“After inspecting thousands of pieces of lifting equipment over the years, I thought I’d seen every dangerous DIY repair imaginable… until today.

This swivel hook had been put back into service with nothing more than a bent R-clip jammed in where a critical roll pin should have been. One small failure away from a catastrophic accident.

This is exactly how serious lifting incidents happen shortcuts, makeshift repairs, and people trusting equipment that should never have left the ground.

Lifting equipment is not an area for guesswork or ‘that’ll do.’ One failed component can cost a life.

Always get your equipment inspected and repaired by a competent person . Always quarantine damaged equipment. Never take risks with lifting operations.”
