Products
Mobile Gantry
Lightweight, adjustable aluminium mobile gantries in kit form are available in various specifications, to suit customer requirements. These are usually supplied with push type trolleys and manual hoists.
Gantries can be internally braced, externally braced or, for capacities of up to 1000kg with a maximum span of 3mtrs, without bracing. Two locking casters of the four swivel casters are fitted as standard.
When enquiring, please state S.W.L, height to underside of cross beam and width between uprights.
Mobile gantries can be supplied with either manual or electric hoists and trolleys to suit customer applications.
Lifting Beams and Fabrications
Various attachments are available to suit your individual applications. Lifting beams normally have a centre top lifting point. Spreader beams are normally supplied with a top two-leg sling, in either chain, wire or webbing.
Heavy duty modual lifting beams are another option. Modual beams are normally tubular and the various lengths are bolted together to obtain the correct length to suit your requirements.
As customer applications vary considerably, please state S.W.L, distance between lower lifting points and any headroom restrictions.
Lifting beams with multiple and adjustable attachments points are also available.
Floor Crane
Both folding (for easy transport) and fixed type are normally in stock to suit customers requirements. Counter balanced floor cranes are manufactured to customers specification.
Fixed jib, winch operated aluminium floor cranes are also available. These normally comprise of three detachable components for ease of transport. This type of floor crane will be designed and manufactured to suit customer requirements.
Floor cranes are rated at their maximum S.W.L (i.e. when the telescopic arm is at its most inner position).
Swing Jibs
Swing Jibs are designed to suit customer requirements, as to the degree of rotation required. Articulated swing jibs, as illustrated, are also available when precision movement is required. We offer installation and testing on-site, as standard practice.
For quotation purposes we require the following information:- S.W.L, length of arm, height to underside of beam and degree of rotation. It is extremely important that your floor is suitable so that we can offer ground anchor frames or extended base plates to spread the load.
360° swing jibs are available for full rotation and are designed to suit customers' application.
Electric or manual chain blocks, together with beam trolleys are available to suit individual applications.
Runways
Runways can be fixed to suitable steelwork or supporting walls. The maximum S.W.L is dependant on the strength of the supporting steelwork.
We strongly recommend that a site visit by one of our qualified engineers is arranged in order to discuss suitability of the system.
Existing steelworks can sometimes be adapted to convert into a runway track, depending upon a structural survey.
Lightweight, profile type tracking, including turntables, is designed to suit customer requirements where several areas need to be covered.
Customers would normally order either electric or manual hoists on trolleys to suit their application. Once installed, they are tested on-site and certification is issued.
Cranes
A vast range of options are available with electric cranes i.e. speed of hoist and travel, radio controls, anti-collision sensors etc.
We recommend a site visit by one of our engineers to establish suitability of your requirements.
Various classes of duty are available to suit most applications.
Being distributors for several hoist/crane manufacturers, we can offer alternative quotations to suit individual requirements. All systems are proof loaded after installation and certified, as demanded by L.O.L.E.R.
When considering preventative maintenance, Samson Lifting offer low cost service contracts. Our engineers are on call 24/7 to attend to any emergency breakdowns.
Duplex Webbing Lifting Sling
Other materials such as Nylon or Polypropylene are available for special applications. Basic lifting slings are either Duplex (double thickness) or Simplex (single thickness) or in endless form either Simplex or Duplex. Manufactured to the latest European standards (BS EN 1492-1) all slings within that range are colour coded for easy S.W.L. identification.
Standard lifting slings are supplied with reinforced eyes to minimize wear from the hoist hook and prevent burning when used in a choked lift. We recommend the use of wear sleeves to prolong the life of these lifting slings. Specialised Cargo Nets are also available constructed from webbing using the same 7:1 safety factor.
Also available with metal end fittings.
Round Lifting Slings
These soft lifting slings protect both the slinger and prevent damage to the load being lifted. Lightweight with standard capacities from 1-40 tonnes, their versatility allows easy and efficient slinging in a minimum of time.
Many standard lengths are held in stock. Non standard lengths are available at short notice.
Lengths are denoted on Circ = Circumference of the lifting sling if opened up into a circle.
Or
EWL = The working length of the lifting sling if doubled up.
These are often confused so please specify.

Kinetic Ropes
For recovery purposes, we recommend our standard length of 8mtrs. However, as we produce these ropes in house, any length can be spliced to order.
Kinetic ropes can be extremely dangerous if not connected to suitable towing points
Curtain Sided/Internal Pole Straps

Machine Skates
Machine skates are used for short, variable transportation distances and installation, works and movement of heavy loads. The steering handle gives you precise control, making it easier to manoeuvre large machinery into tight areas and they have a minimum turning circle of 3m.
The track surface is important for the safe transportation of the load (tiles are unsuitable and movement on tarmac and concrete is restricted).
Retrieval Block
This unit can be used as a standard fall arrest block, but in the event of a fall, the operative can be winched up or down to safety almost immediately.
As most rescue systems lower the casualty, retrieval blocks can raise the operative to safe area, if the area below is unsuitable.
Retrieval blocks can also be fitted to a tripod for use in the confined access industry, as it can lower a worker into an area where no ladders are fitted.
