Whether you do it for work or pleasure, climbing can be extremely hazardous if you're not wearing the right PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
Fortunately, we stock a huge range of climbing PPE here at Life-Gear.com, so you can stay comfortable and safe while you're scaling those heights.
Here's a selection of the PPE products we offer for professional climbers and hobbyists alike:
Safety Harnesses
It is, of course, essential to wear a harness when climbing. Harnesses (when properly secured to an anchor point) prevent you from falling to the ground, and we have a huge range of high-quality harnesses to choose from here at Life-Gear.com, including full body harnesses and comfortable seat harnesses.

Karabiners
Karabiners (sometimes spelled 'carabiners') are connectors that are indispensable when climbing. They connect equipment securely and hold fast while you're busy making your climb. Again, we stock an extensive variety of climbing karabiners here at Life-Gear.com, ranging from budget-friendly steel screw lock karabiners to the TRIACT-LOCK pulley carabiner.

Climbing is a great activity for children and young people to enjoy. It boosts concentration - finding a route up a climbing wall requires a lot of focus! - and of course it's also great for improving strength, coordination, and general fitness.
But climbing can also be hazardous if you're not wearing the right safety equipment. Before letting your child climb, it's important to make sure that they are protected from falls - and to that end, we at Life-Gear.com are pleased to offer a great selection of children's climbing equipment at rock-bottom prices.
Here are some of the products that you can buy from our website today:
PETZL Fall Protection Harness for Children
Ideal for children aged 4-9 years

The two-colour webbing makes this product easy to put on, and its full-body design provides improved safety for smaller children whose hips haven't fully developed yet. The clips are positioned at the back of the harness so that young wearers won't fiddle with them.

Sack trucks are ideal for manoeuvring heavy and/or unwieldy loads safely and efficiently. If, for instance, you need to transport a stack of heavy boxes from one part of your warehouse to another, it's a good idea to use a sack truck (or some other type of trolley) rather than attempting to lift the boxes yourself and risking a musculoskeletal injury.
We stock a superb selection of sack trucks here at Life-Gear.com - all are available to buy online, and selected sack trucks are also available to hire at competitive rates.
