Working on a construction site means lifting materials to various heights. Buildings under construction can reach vast heights so getting your materials up there can be difficult, not to mention hazardous.
During the erection of a scaffold tower, many poles will be required, especially on larger builds. The higher you go the harder and more hazardous it becomes in getting the poles up to where they are needed.
A tube lifting bag is the easy answer. Multiple tubes, poles, pipes and wood battens can be lifted at the same time, quickly and effortlessly. We can also supply a scaffold fittings bag/bucket complete with lid.
The use of buckets is second to none on a building site. Sand, cement and other loose materials can be moved around easily in a bucket or the newer trug style buckets. However one or two hands are needed to carry the bucket which makes climbing ladders difficult. By using a bucket lifting bag your materials can be lifted to the level that you are working at effortlessly. What's more there is no risk of the bucket handle breaking as the bag lifting slings are taking the weight.
