What is the difference between a push trolley and a geared trolley?

A push trolley is moved by pushing on the load; a geared trolley is driven by a hand chain, which gives finer positioning and is easier with heavier loads.

Can a snatch block be used for lifting?

Yes, within its rated load — but the load on the block is not the load on the rope. With the rope turned through 180° the block carries about twice the line pull, so rate the block, its hook or shackle and its anchor point for that.

Do the parts come with test certificates?

Yes. Each consignment ships with the manufacturer's test certificate. If your site needs more — third-party certification or witnessed proof testing — say so on the RFQ and we will confirm what we can arrange.

Capacity, lift and headroom

Choose a hoist on its rated capacity, the lift you need and the headroom you have: the hook-to-hook distance on the table is the height the hoist itself takes up. A trolley must match both the hoist's capacity and the flange width of your beam, and a plate clamp must match the plate thickness it grips — both ranges are in the size tables.

Ex-stock from Dubai, delivered within 3 working days in the UAE.

Rigging hardware is bought on its working load limit and its certificate, and both travel with the part: every shackle, hook, chain and sling ships from Dubai with the manufacturer's test certificate, so the receiving inspection checks a document against a stamp rather than a claim. Hardware and fittings go by air or courier in cartons; wire rope, chain, hoists and anchors are heavy enough that sea freight is usually the sensible answer.
