Choosing the right load restraint for the job
Bullivants : 22 October 2025
Imagine seeing your valuable equipment or products flying off the back of your truck. Or worse, causing a catastrophic accident because your goods...
Manual handling in manufacturing environments carries inherent risks. To ensure safety and efficiency, lifting and hoisting equipment must not only comply with strict safety standards but also be precisely suited to the specific application.
When equipment is poorly matched to the task, or fails during operation, it can cause dropped or uncontrolled loads. This can create safety hazards for workers, and lead to costly downtime, unexpected repairs and production delays. Poorer quality equipment may also wear out prematurely, increasing replacement frequency and overall costs.
For manufacturing facilities where lifting, rigging, and material handling are daily operations, the Tiger range from Bullivants delivers a reliable, high-performance solution designed to meet demanding manual handling needs.
Here’s how.
Bullivants Tiger lever blocks and chain blocks.
Tiger is Bullivants’ premium brand of lifting equipment. The lever blocks and chain blocks are designed for demanding environments and engineered for high performance and reliability over the long term.
Features of the Tiger blocks include:
- Rugged steel-bodied construction for greater longevity, while being lightweight and portable for easy transport and setup.
- Proof-tested to 1.5 times the rated capacity.
- Patented twin/quad cam brake pawl systems for movement control.
- Optional overload limiters for greater safety.
- Heat-treated alloy steel triple spur gears for durability.
- Double-cover protection for brake chambers.
- Unique dual-brake mechanisms in most lever hoist models.
- High-quality alloy calibrated load chains.
- Spare parts are available, allowing for targeted rather than full replacements.
- Varied and adaptable – e.g. with capacities ranging from 0.25t to 20t and adaptability for horizontal and vertical use or for specific lifting angles.
- Compliance with AS1418.2 safety standard.
- Powder-coat finishes for better corrosion protection.
The benefits for manufacturers.
Tiger lever blocks and chain blocks suit a range of jobs in manufacturing. These include maintenance operations, moving components and materials in heavy fabrication, positioning of equipment (for example when assembling welding equipment) and precise positioning of loads.
The blocks have several key benefits for manufacturers, including:
- Minimising the downtime that can come with the failure of poorly-designed or unreliable equipment.
- Protecting against loss of loads due to inadequate capacity.
- Reducing the risk of worker injuries from equipment that is ill-suited to heavy-duty applications or that isn’t compliant with safety standards.
- Preventing overspending on unnecessary capacity, since the blocks can be loaded for precise lifting and hoisting requirements.
- Reducing how often replacements need to be purchased.
Paul O’Halloran, National Key Account Manager at Bullivants, describes Tiger Blocks as strategic assets that align with the core values of safety, integrity and operational excellence.
“Tiger Blocks are longer wearing than average and come with robust durability, which helps improve cost control over the life of the equipment,” he says. “Tiger Blocks can deliver safety, reliability and long-term value for manufacturing operations.”
