ENSURING SAFETY

Safety isn't just a feature, it's our foundation. At Conquip, we collaborate with industry leaders, project managers, Health & Safety directors, regulatory bodies and on-site operative to elevate safety standards across UK sites.

Listening to feedback and working closely with teams on the ground directly shapes the design and functionality of our innovative solutions. By engaging with operatives and site teams, we help create safer environments built on best practices and practical training, often delivered through a combination of trials and Conquip Covered after-sales services.

Our Innovations

Concrete Skip attachments: In collaboration with Tier 1 contractors, we’ve reimagined concrete skips to keep workers out from under suspended loads. With features like the Extended Flow Gate Handle, Hose Guides & Inserts, and Bauer Connection, we’ve made concrete pouring safer and smarter.

Our CantiDeck has become a go-to for high-rise and tunnels construction. It provides a safe, efficient way to load and unload materials directly from the structure, reducing crane wait times and keeping site logistics flowing. With multiple deck types and configurations, it’s a flexible solution for modern builds.

Focus on Crane-Lifted Cages

These innovations are just part of how we’re redefining safe movement at height across the industry.

For Materials

Goods Cages & XXL Lifting Cage. Transporting loose or awkward items? Our range of Goods Cages is purpose-built for secure, contained lifting. They protect operatives and prevent material loss by ensuring everything stays safely inside the cage throughout the lift.

Crane Forks Cage. Originally designed in collaboration with a Tier 1 contractors following several incidents with failed safety nets. This cage is built to keep pallets stable, and secure during lifts, even if the load is snagged, protecting personnel on-site.

POD Lifting Cage. Some loads, like modular pods, are large, awkward and require specialist equipment to lift and transport them into buildings. Our cage provides teams with the precision and control required to position awkward items safely, whether on high-rise projects or tight sites.

For People

Access Cage. Designed to give peace of mind that every lift, whether it is reaching confined spaces or providing access to high and low locations on-site, is controlled and compliant, giving your team confidence when it's needed the most.

Stretcher Cage. Chosen as a means of rescue on many projects with regular active lifting operations. It's designed to lift, and transport injured or immobile personnel, giving your team the confidence and tools to act quickly when every second counts. With space for an injured person on a stretcher and one attendant, an up-and-over door for easy access, plus multiple harness points and handrails to keep occupants secure, it’s reliable in those critical moments.

Rescue Cage. Designed to safely and efficiently rescue and transport stranded personnel across construction sites.Its inverted T-shape design allows for easy crane access between floors and leading vertical edges, enabling quick retrieval of personnel from elevated positions and safer entry to and exit from the cage itself. Handrails and harness points provide stability for occupants during a lift.

For Plant

Excavator Lifting Platform. Provides a safer and more controlled method. Whether transporting excavators across site or lifting them in and out of deep excavations, it reduces the risk of accidents, saves time and keeps your project on schedule.

Safety and Compliance Foundations

Adhering to Current Standards: All of our equipment is design-engineered and manufactured to be compliant to the highest standards in the relevant country, including in the UK and Europe to Eurocodes, British Standards Institute, ISO and European Machinery Directive.

Analysis and Verification: We maximise system performance and product lifespan. Our team uses their site-proven analytical methodologies to run structural, dynamics, durability and fatigue analysis on our equipment.

Inspections and Testing: For every piece of equipment we design and manufacture, we conduct rigorous checks. The application of proof loads, cycle and function tests, as well as strain and deflection measurements are completed by competent mechanical engineers to ensure the items can be relied on to be durable, compliant and safe.

Expert Customer Support

Pre-Use Checks by Trained Professionals: Before equipment ever goes into action, we encourage sites to carry out thorough checks by competent, trained personnel. Early detection = early prevention.

Expert Knowledge for Safe Operation: Every Conquip product comes with a detailed technical User Guide, available on our website. We empower your operatives with the right information to use equipment safely and effectively, meaning you can ensure safe working in key areas, including working at height, trench access, manual handling and concrete washout. Plus, as the OEM, we offer best practice onsite training, keeping your team safe.

Stay Compliant with Inspections from Conquip Covered: Our LOLER & PUWER-compliant inspections ensure your lifting and construction equipment remains inspected, operational, and safe for use, complete with a Report of Thorough Examination. With Conquip Covered, our in-house engineers handle it all, backed up by our online account platform.
