Lifting Tools & Accessories
Hoists
A hoist is a tool designed to lift and lower a specific load. Hoists make transporting loads of various sizes easy and safe. They are often classified by load capacity and source of power. Hoists can be powered manually, electrically, or by air. They typically use either wire rope or chain to lift materials.
Manual hoists
Manual hoists are durable and portable. These hoists, ratchet and hand chains, can handle loads of high capacity. High quality manual hoists are safe, reliable, and efficient. Safety Services Group offers a wide variety of manual hoists designed to provide a safe and stable lifting solution for client requirements.

Steel Wire Ropes
The use of wire rope is widespread within the lifting and rigging industries worldwide. Each wire rope is constructed of several steel strands laid or twisted together similarly to a Helix, each strand consists of smaller wires laid together in a similar way.
Every wire rope has three basic components, wires, strands and the core. The core may comprise of either Fibre (FC) such as sisal, manila or jute, or an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC), which is actually a smaller wire rope within the strands of the outer wire rope. The wires are predominantly constructed from high-carbon steel, but may also be formed from various metals such as Iron, Stainless Steel, Monel or bronze.
Carbon steel wire rope is manufactured in various grades, including Improved PlowSteel (IPS), Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIPS) and Extra Extra Improved Plow Steel (EEIPS), which designate the nominal strength of the wire rope.

Wire Rope Slings
Wire Rope Assemblies
All of our wire rope assemblies are manufactured in-house by our fully qualified technicians and engineers. Each assembly is supplied with full traceability and test certificates in line with our ISO9001 Quality Management System and relevant international, British and local standards.
Our production of wire rope slings and assemblies ranges from 2mm to 152mm diameter, available in galvanized, ungalvanized, stainless steel and plastic covered wire rope.
Single and Multiple Leg Wire Rope Slings
Wire rope slings and assemblies are the most common and rugged slings used today. This category of slings can be made in single, double, triple and quadruple leg configurations. Wire rope slings having two or more legs are often called "bridles". Wire rope slings can also be braided into multiple parts making them more flexible and able to handle more capacity by increasing the diameter of the sling.
Our sling catalog makes ordering easy because you can select sling sizes and lengths by dimensions or capacity. For information and pricing, contact us.

Shackles
SSG lifting shackle category offers a very comprehensive online rage. Lifting Shackles are connection link, used to make a connection between the load lifting device (hoist hook / sling) and the load to be lifted. There are two main shapes / styles of lifting shackle and they are “D” Shackles (or Dee Shackle) and bow shackles otherwise known as Omega shackles. The shackles we offer are galvanized, self color and made from forged carbon steel. The load pin on a lifting shackle is fastened to the shackle body in different ways; there is screw pin where the pin screws into the body of the shackle like a bolt and safety pin shackles where the pin passes through the body of the shackle then is captivated by either a split pin or nut c/w split pin. We also offer a great range of stainless steel lifting shackles, ROV shackles, hydraulic remote release shackles and wide body shackles.SSGstocks and supplies its own Brand of Bash-P shackles as well as reputed brands such as Crosby, Van beest, Gunnebo and others.
We carry a full line of galvanized and stainless steel shackles. Galvanized shackles offer added strength when needed but the chromium in a stainless steel shackle makes it ideal for marine applications. Chromium has the amazing ability to form a passive film on the surface of stainless steel that will resist the accelerating properties of corrosion. Chromium also has an ability to continually repair itself after the surface film is scratched, even in an oxidative environment. Our stainless steel anchor shackles are type 316 (the 2nd most common other than type 304) which has an alloy addition of molybdenum. This stainless alloy is also known as marine grade stainless mainly due to its chloride corrosion resistance.
Hooks, Links & Swivels
Safety Services Group holds major stocks of high quality branded rigging equipment, tools and hardware. The brands include but are not limited to: Bash P, Johnson Gunnebo, Tractel, Vital, Yoke, Talurit and Crosby.
We offer a wide range of hooks, links and swivels. Lifting hooks are usually equipped with a safety latch to prevent the disengagement of the wire rope sling, chain or rope to which the load is attached. A swivel is a device that allows the connected object to rotate. Rigging hooks can come in many variations, which we have outlined below.
Grab hook: Designed to “grab” to keep a chain from slipping off the hook.
Slip hook: Generally has a wider throat than grab hooks and sometimes has a latch design to keep an attached object in its place.
Clevis hook: Designed with a clevis and bolt or pin at the base to create a secure way to fasten the hook to a bracket or chain.
Self-locking hook: When used within the working load limit guidelines, a self-locking design ensures the hook will not open when under heavy load.
