Work safely with a fall arrest harness

Working at height always comes with risks. Small mistakes can have major consequences. That’s why it’s essential to handle your fall protection with care. Here are some practical tips for maintaining and using your harness.

Beware of counterfeit products

Discover how to recognise genuine Gunnebo lifting and hoisting components and why counterfeit products can seriously compromise safety. Learn the difference between original quality and imitation products.

Temperature range Grade 100

What is the safe temperature range for high-quality Grade 100 lifting chains, and how do heat and cold affect their load capacity and safety during lifting operations?

Elebia hooks

Automatic Elebia hooks for safe and efficient lifting operations. Handle loads remotely using advanced magnetic lifting hooks, optional protective covers and load cells for maximum safety and productivity.

Ductility

Ductility – or deformability – is an important property in the lifting industry. Chains and lifting components are made from alloys that not only increase the strength of the steel, but also improve its ductility.

Grade 80 vs Grade 100

We encounter it every day in our industry. More and more people are becoming aware of the different materials available on the market. Within the world of safe lifting too, there is growing awareness of which materials are still suitable for use and which are no longer compliant.
