Bucket Lifting Bag Benefits
Construction workers repeatedly need to get loose loads such as mortar or plaster above ground level. This type of load can be heavy and can easily spill, not to mention the handles breaking whilst in transit, creating a mess and loosing the contents. Lifting your loose materials with the use of a bucket lifting bag virtually eliminates these issues.
Probably the biggest benefit of using these bags is safety. You will no longer need to fumble whilst climbing ladders with a loaded bucket in one hand. It goes without saying you should always use both hands to climb safely. The bucket or tub, load and bag can all be lifted seamlessly with a pulley, winch or scaffolding hoist to where required.
Industrial Bucket Lifting Bag Design
Each bucket bag is made from ultra strong PVC type Material and incorporate removable polyester lifting slings with additional wear sleeve at the top and fully EN1492-1 compliant.
The slings pass through stitched in channels which pass right under the bag, thus offering optimum strength and stability all around the bag. In addition you will find a 5mm thick strengthening base plate inside the bag providing structure and strength. When it comes to the outside base of the bag there are a couple of different options. The soft boot is the standard option and is included; a hard tray option comes as an extra but provides the ultimate protection.
It is worth knowing that the sling, soft boot and hard tray are all replaceable which is great as these are the hard wear areas. This means it is most likely more cost efficient than full replacement.
These bucket lifting bags ate batch tested to 7:1 a safety factor, they are CE marked and come with a certificate of conformity.
