Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Lifting Equipment | Lifting Tools for Heavy Objects

How often should lifting equipment be inspected?

Lifting equipment for people should be inspected every six months, while other general lifting tools require annual checks. Our products include care instructions and user guides to help you maintain equipment and prevent injuries. Be sure to check product specifications for load capacity to ensure you choose the right equipment for your tasks. All AJ Products meet safety standards and are backed by a minimum 7-year guarantee, designed to withstand daily use in demanding environments.

What are the benefits of using manual lifting and handling equipment?

Manual handling tools reduce physical strain, minimise injury risks, and improve workplace efficiency. Our manual lift trolleys and tables are lightweight, manoeuvrable, and ergonomically designed, while our manual stackers feature practical foot brakes and easy-rolling wheels. All tools include care instructions to ensure safe and proper handling, promoting a safe and productive workplace.

Which lifting and handling equipment is best for maintenance work?

For maintenance work, tools like cranes, forklifts, pallet trucks, transport dollies, and lift tables are ideal for moving heavy items and positioning loads at different heights. Forklift extensions help maximise capacity, while scissor lift tables allow safe and precise height adjustments. When selecting tools, consider load capacity and workspace accessibility. Our lifting equipment always come with user manuals to ensure proper use and safe operation so we recommend taking the time to read through them.

What is the correct technique for using lifting tools?

Depending on the type of lifting tool, we recommend always consulting the user manual to avoid unnecessary injury or strain. Ensure loads are secured properly using lifting straps, and check that objects are within the tool's lifting capacity. For heavier or awkward loads in industrial settings, we offer electric lifting tools such as electric trolleys and electric pallet stackers, featuring easy height adjustments for comfortable use.
