“From initial contact through to delivery and after sales support we were very impressed with the professional service supplied by Ray at SHEARFORCE, nothing was too much trouble. The product is fabricated and finished to a high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending or purchasing from Ray in the future.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Shearforce Ltd. for the bespoke manufacture and supply of an ‘A Frame’ piece of lifting equipment, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise in lifting equipment.

The quality of the ‘A Frame’ is outstanding.

What truly sets Shearforce apart is their attentive customer service. The team was incredibly responsive and took the time to understand our needs thoroughly. They provided valuable insights and recommendations, ensuring that we received the best possible solution. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.I highly recommend Shearforce.”

Why Access Shipping Container Roofs?

The roof space on containers can be used for extra storage, or may have air conditioning or other types of plant installed that require routine maintenance. There are many reasons why. Why not take advantage of valuable space on your site!

ConCEPS is designed to fit all four corners of shipping containers from 10' to 40'. The system is designed with 4 corner posts and 2 intermediate posts that should be used on containers of 20' and over.

Superior Fall Prevention

The fall protection system has upper and intermediate level fall prevention ratchet straps to prevent falls.

When access to the edge is restricted due to installed plant or similar, we offer a 3-piece post that hooks into the top container lug and locks into the bottom container lug. Therefore reducing the need to access the top of the container for even safer installation. These can be fitted by one person at ground level.

DON’T SETTLE FOR MEDIOCRE FALL ARREST: A GUIDE TO BETTER ALTERNATIVES

You’ll learn how to identify common fall hazards, take preventative measures, and stay compliant with the Work at Height Regulations 2005. It also explores the ConCEPS system, designed to improve safety on shipping containers with quick, easy installation that minimises downtime.

Don’t rely on fall arrest alone, as it can still cause serious injury. Discover better ways to protect your workforce.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT GANTRY: STEEL VS ALUMINIUM

PORTABLE STEEL GANTRY "PATENT PENDING"

Our UK made, steel, highly portable gantry has a maximum safe working of 3000kg. This unique gantry can be erected in tight spaces due to the innovative design where the base can be offset through rotation by approximately 45 degrees

The gantry can extend from 1.6m to 2.8m under the beam. The safe working load is determined when you choose your beam size at the purchase point. Its swivel wheels allow for ease of movement around the shop or the working environment once built.

Each side of the gantry system, weighing 63kgs, comes in its own self-contained robust, wipe down PVC bag that is easily handled by 2 persons. The bags have wheels at one end to assist in the movement in the workspace.

ALUMINIUM GANTRY "PATENT PENDING"

All the same features as the steel gantry but much lighter and improved access as all legs are adjustable.
