Using tipping skips can be an essential addition to your work-space, be it either for indoor or outdoor usage.

The Ultralift Plus Lifting Magnet
Eclipse Magnetics has well over 100 years of experience in the design and manufacture of high performance magnetic systems, and Lifting Equipment Store is regularly supplying Ultralift Plus magnets for safe lifting. The smallest unit can grip up to 125kg while the largest can lift up to 2000kg, and each magnet benefits from exceptional performance to weight ratio.
