A concrete skip might not be the first thing you expect to stop you at a crane and access show. But the remote-controlled SECATOL system demonstrated by Whitney at Vertikal Days on 9 September did just that.
The attraction was straightforward: operating the discharge gate remotely gives the team another option for deciding where the person controlling the pour needs to stand. That is a practical detail worth looking at closely.
What the remote actually controls
Whitney’s radio-remote concrete skip range includes an electric discharge mechanism operated by a handheld transmitter. The remote controls the skip’s gate and the release of concrete. The crane operator remains responsible for the crane’s movements.
The SECATOL VE literature we collected describes remote opening and closing, with the gate remaining in position when the control button is released. That gives the person controlling the discharge a way to adjust the opening without having to operate a rope at the skip.
Whitney Engineering is a UK distributor of SECATOL equipment. The supplier offers different skip arrangements, so the precise model, capacity and control specification need to be matched to the job. SECATOL’s own product information also shows an electric radio-controlled version of its TIC PF skip.

Why the demonstration caught our attention
Moving a control away from the equipment can change how a task is organised. In a concrete pour, that could give the person operating the gate more choice over their position and view, subject to the arrangement on site.
What matters is whether the chosen position actually improves control of the work. The person still needs to see the discharge area, understand what is happening and communicate effectively with everyone involved. A remote handset alone cannot answer those questions.
It was while watching this demonstration that I bumped into Michael Cuthbertson, Lifting Manager at Sizewell C. I trained Michael at Quinto when he moved from offshore work back to onshore many years ago. It was good to catch up and compare our impressions of what we were watching.
The conversation to have before using it on site
For a lifting team considering a system like this, I would start with a few practical questions.
Who controls what? The crane’s movement and the skip’s discharge are separate functions. Everyone needs to understand who is operating each, how they communicate and how either activity is stopped.
Where is the best operating position? Think about the view of the pour, the suspended skip, other workers and any hose or chute handling. The aim is to choose a position that works for the complete task.
What happens if the control is unavailable? Ask the supplier about loss of signal, battery condition and the exact model’s emergency arrangements. These need to be understood before the skip is in use.
Has the complete lifting arrangement been checked? The skip, concrete and all attached equipment contribute to the suspended load. The lifting plan needs to reflect the actual configuration and the movement required.
How will it be maintained and handed over? Cleaning, inspection, charging and familiarisation deserve attention alongside the demonstration of the controls.
An equipment improvement still needs a workable method
These are questions for the team developing the method, supported by the supplier’s instructions. HSE’s guidance on planning lifting operations places equipment selection, foreseeable risks and the way the work is organised within the same planning process.
What appealed to me at Newark was seeing a development aimed at a specific task that many lifting teams will recognise. It is the kind of idea that deserves a proper conversation about how the job could be done, including the people around the equipment.
If you are changing a lifting method or assessing the competence needed to use new equipment, get in touch with All Star Safety to discuss practical support.

Among the demonstrations we stopped to watch at Vertikal Days on 9 September, Torquer’s equipment stood out. Harriet, Lara and I saw two ideas tackling different parts of a lifting operation: making the connection to a load, and controlling which way that load faces. They were among the highlights in our account of the day at Newark.
The products are SPEAR and Catcher, and HALO. Seeing them demonstrated made it much easier to understand the possibilities than looking at a brochure alone.
SPEAR and Catcher: making and releasing the connection
SPEAR stands for Self Positioning Engage And Release. Torquer’s system uses a mechanical SPEAR connector with a matching Catcher. The intention is to connect and release a load through the lifting and landing sequence, reducing the need for someone to make that connection by hand at the load.
Our short video shows the tabletop demonstration: the SPEAR engages with the Catcher, the demonstration load is lifted, then landed before the connector releases. It is a useful illustration of the operating principle; the working equipment and its application need to be specified for the actual lift.
Our six-second video of the SPEAR and Catcher tabletop demonstration at Vertikal Days. The model engages, lifts, lands and releases.
What interested me was the point in the job that this addresses. Connecting and disconnecting equipment can put people close to the load. If a suitable system changes that task, it is worth asking how the whole operation could be arranged around it.
That starts with compatibility. A matching Catcher and a defined operating sequence are central to the idea. It should be considered as a specified lifting arrangement, with the manufacturer’s instructions, rather than assumed to work with any existing lifting point.
HALO: controlling the orientation of a suspended load
HALO stands for Hands free Autonomous Load Orientation. It allows the orientation of a suspended load to be controlled remotely. This addresses rotation during the lift, while SPEAR and Catcher address the connection.
The demonstration involving water and pumps was particularly memorable. Watching the suspended load turn made the idea very clear: control its orientation from a distance, with less reliance on people being close enough to influence it physically.

For me, the attraction is the opportunity to reconsider people’s positions during a lift. Whether that opportunity is useful depends on the load, the available space, the required movement and the conditions. A demonstration gives you a reason to investigate those details.
The questions we would take into a lift-planning discussion
Before introducing equipment like this into a job, these are some of the questions we would want to work through with the supplier and the lifting team:
What load and lifting arrangement is the chosen version designed for, and what equipment must be used with it?
How will the team confirm that the connection is secure and that release is appropriate?
What weight and headroom does the equipment add to the complete lifting arrangement?
Where will people stand, what will they be able to see and how will instructions be communicated?
What are the operating limits, inspection requirements and arrangements if the planned sequence cannot be completed?
These questions sit within the wider planning process. HSE’s guidance on planning lifting operations explains the need to consider the foreseeable risks, the resources required and the responsibilities of those involved. A new device needs to be understood within that complete operation.
Why it was worth stopping to watch
The best show demonstrations leave you thinking about a familiar task differently. These two did exactly that. We came away wanting to understand where the equipment could make the work easier to control, and what would need to change in the plan to get that benefit.
You can explore the equipment on Torquer’s website. If you are reviewing a lifting method or introducing unfamiliar equipment, All Star Safety’s consultancy support can help you work through the planning and competence questions.
Next in this series, we will look at Whitney’s SECATOL remote-controlled concrete skip discharge system, another demonstration that prompted a useful conversation about where people need to be during the work.
A lift plan can look straightforward until the accessories are added. Heavier shackles increase the suspended load. A load-specific sling-angle restriction can require longer legs and more headroom. A chain block may help position the load, but it also adds weight and height. These details can change whether the proposed arrangement will work.
A free reference to help you build the complete picture
All Star Safety’s 42-page lifting accessory reference helps Appointed Persons, lift supervisors and trainees find capacities, weights and dimensions, then compare different arrangements. It brings together named manufacturer data, dimension drawings, angle guidance and worked examples in an A4 handout.
Use it when developing a theoretical lift plan, checking an accessory schedule or exploring a different rigging arrangement. The useful question is whether the complete assembly suits the load, attachment points and available space.
We have made every effort to ensure the data is accurate at the date of issue. You must still check it yourself against current manufacturer instructions and the actual equipment before relying on it.
1. Calculate the mass of the whole suspended arrangement
Start with a verified load mass, then list everything suspended below the crane hook: complete sling assemblies, shackles, lifting points, hoists, beams and any other attachments. Establish what is already included in the stated load mass so that each item is counted once.
Worked example: a 10,000 kg load plus 500 kg of accessories gives a physical gross mass of 10,500 kg at the crane hook. In this example, the 500 kg includes every accessory below the hook, and none is already included in the load mass.
Use that complete arrangement when assessing crane capacity, following the crane manufacturer’s load-chart basis and required deductions, including the treatment of the hook block. Keep any planning or booking allowance explicit and separate from the physical mass calculation.
A common trap: shortening a chain sling changes its working length, but it does not remove the weight of chain that remains suspended. Include the complete assembly and retained chain.
2. Check how the sling angle affects headroom
A tighter angle limit can change the rigging you need. For example, a particular tank’s manufacturer may limit the included angle between accessories to 60° or less. That restriction takes precedence over a course convention or the wider angle permitted by a sling’s capacity chart.
Consider two equal, free sling legs connecting points 2.000 m apart at the same elevation. The included angle is the angle between the two legs; each leg is at half that angle from vertical.
Included angle
Free length of each leg
Vertical rise to the upper junction
90°
1.414 m
1.000 m
60°
2.000 m
1.732 m
Idealised geometry, rounded to the nearest millimetre. Fitting offsets and operational clearances are additional.
For the same 2 m spacing, the 60° arrangement requires longer free legs and 732 mm more vertical rise. This compares two different leg lengths; you cannot make that change simply by altering the angle of a fixed-length sling while keeping the attachment spacing unchanged.
Check the assembly’s working load limit for the actual configuration and angle, together with the load’s lifting-point restrictions. A larger sling does not increase the capacity of the lifting eye beneath it.
3. Build hook height from consistent reference points
Map the arrangement from the load’s attachment points to the crane hook bearing point. Add the relevant vertical contributions of the free sling legs, connectors, master link, hoist or other equipment, then allow for the load’s required position and operating clearance.
Read the dimension drawing: an overall dimension may differ from the distance between the bearing points needed in your calculation.
Check what the stated length includes: a complete sling’s effective working length is not automatically the free inclined leg length. Avoid adding end fittings twice.
Distinguish hoist dimensions: a chain block’s height of lift is not its closed headroom.
Recalculate after a substitution: a different shackle, lifting point or hoist can change mass, fit and height even when its headline capacity looks suitable.
Five checks before you finalise the arrangement
Load: confirm mass, centre of gravity, orientation and the manufacturer’s lifting instructions.
Connections: check attachment-point ratings, direction of pull, sling mode and angles, and physical compatibility.
Accessories: record the exact products, complete assembly masses and the dimensions used in your calculation.
Crane and space: assess the planned operating radius and height against the correct crane configuration and load chart, including required deductions and clearances.
Changes: review substitutions and changed site conditions, update the plan and make sure the lifting team understands the agreed arrangement.
These calculations are part of the wider lift plan. Ground conditions, access, the load route, people, weather and supervision also need consideration. HSE’s guidance on planning and organising lifting operations explains how planning, competence and resources should reflect the work and its risks.
What you will find in the download
The reference covers lifting eyes and swivel lifting points; shackles; chain, textile and wire-rope slings; master links; chain blocks; and selected handling attachments. Higher-capacity selections include the corresponding published masses, with manufacturer illustrations showing what the dimensions refer to.
Worked comparisons and an arrangement worksheet help you assess alternative accessories. Manufacturer identities and source links are retained, and historical Q45 information is clearly separated from current product ranges.
The handout labels All Star Safety’s 10%/25% planning allowances and normal 90° included-angle training convention separately from manufacturer limits and statutory requirements. Apply the tighter restriction imposed by the load or any component.
The free All Star Safety reference is formatted for A4 printing.
Check the source before using the figures
Product specifications can change, and equipment with similar names or capacities may have different weights, dimensions and limitations. Verify the exact product and assembly, the working load limit for its mode and angle, total accessory weight, dimensions, compatibility and load-specific restrictions.
Resolve missing, inconsistent or uncertain information before using it in a lift plan. The reference supports competent planning; it does not replace the manufacturer’s instructions, equipment checks or a lift-specific assessment. Please tell us if you identify a discrepancy so we can review and correct it.

Ordinary ratchet lashing straps must not be used to lift, suspend or lower loads. They are designed to restrain cargo, not to act as lifting accessories.
A new Health and Safety Executive prosecution followed an incident in which a ratchet strap failed while workers were lowering a steel beam weighing more than 100kg. The falling beam struck an employee, causing multiple back fractures, a punctured lung and a broken leg.
The case demonstrates why dismantling work needs a written sequence, suitable lifting equipment, competent planning, temporary-stability controls and an effective exclusion zone. It also reinforces the importance of stopping work when an employee raises a reasonable safety concern.
The incident occurred during the dismantling of an internal steel-frame temporary structure at a hotel in Surrey.
A ratchet strap was being used to lower a steel beam weighing more than 100kg. The strap was not designed for lifting or lowering loads and failed, causing the beam to fall onto an employee.
The worker suffered multiple back fractures, a punctured lung and a broken leg. She underwent an 11-hour operation and spent three months in hospital.
HSE found that the dismantling work had not been properly planned or carried out safely. The director had selected the method and continued with it after the worker questioned whether it was safe.
The company was fined £12,000 and ordered to pay £6,949 in costs. The director received a community order requiring 75 hours of unpaid work.
Are Ratchet Straps Suitable for Lifting?
No—not ordinary ratchet lashing straps.
Ratchet straps are generally intended to restrain loads against movement during transport, storage or handling. They are not designed to:
Lift a freely suspended load.
Lower a load under controlled movement.
Support a load above people.
Act as a webbing sling.
Replace a chain block, lever hoist or lifting appliance.
Provide structural support during dismantling.
A lifting accessory should be designed and marked for lifting, have an identifiable safe working load or working load limit, and be compatible with the load, attachment points and proposed configuration.
A lashing strap may look similar to a lifting sling, but appearance is not evidence of suitability.
“A strap capable of restraining a load is not automatically capable of safely lifting it.”
The level of planning should be proportionate to the risk. Lowering a structural steel member weighing more than 100kg from a partially dismantled frame should not be treated as an informal manual-handling activity.
Legal Duty: Record Dismantling Arrangements in Writing
The assessment should consider the structure’s age, construction, previous use, adjacent structures and existing condition.
Where temporary supports are needed, they should be designed by a suitably qualified and experienced person. Bracing and propping must then be installed, checked, maintained and removed in accordance with the design.
A dismantling method should not rely on workers physically holding, balancing or attempting to control a structural component after its fixings have been released.
Industry Good Practice: Separate Lashing and Lifting Equipment
A practical way to prevent misuse is to keep load-restraint equipment physically separate from lifting accessories.
Industry good practice includes:
Storing ratchet lashings and lifting slings in different locations.
Clearly labelling storage areas.
Quarantining unidentified or damaged equipment.
Checking that lifting accessories display an identifiable WLL or SWL.
Matching certificates and thorough-examination records to the equipment.
Completing pre-use checks before every lifting operation.
Preventing workers from supplying unapproved personal equipment.
Training supervisors to recognise the difference between slings and lashings.
Lifting accessories are generally subject to thorough examination at least every six months unless a competent person’s written scheme specifies an alternative interval.
A pre-use check is still required and does not replace the statutory thorough examination.
Keep People Outside the Line of Fire
Workers should not stand beneath a suspended load or within the area into which a component could fall, swing, rotate or slide.
The exclusion zone must reflect the actual failure path—not simply the footprint directly beneath the load.
The lifting plan should consider what would happen if:
A lifting accessory failed.
An attachment point fractured.
The component rotated unexpectedly.
The remaining structure moved.
A connection released suddenly.
The lifting equipment lost power or tension.
Where people must approach to disconnect equipment, the load should first be landed, independently supported or otherwise placed in a stable condition.
Responding to Safety Concerns
A worker questioning whether a method is safe should trigger a pause and review.
Our professional recommendation is that dismantling and non-routine lifting methods include a clear stop-work rule:
“If the equipment, sequence, structural condition or proposed method differs from the written plan, the operation stops until it has been reassessed.”
Supervisors should never interpret a safety concern as disobedience or lack of commitment. People carrying out the task may be the first to identify unexpected movement, unsuitable equipment or an impractical sequence.
Our Professional View
This case was not simply about one strap failing. The strap was the final visible weakness in a wider failure of planning.
A suitable method would have identified the beam weight, lifting points, load path, equipment, support arrangements, dismantling sequence and worker positions before connections were released.
Businesses requiring assistance can use All Star Safety’s health and safety consultancy service for task-specific RAMS reviews, site inspections, temporary-works support and lifting-operation reviews.
Personnel involved in planning and supervising lifting work can demonstrate occupational competence through appropriate Lifting Operations NVQs. Wider project and supervisory competence can also be assessed through Supervisory and Management NVQs.
Remove ordinary ratchet lashing straps from lifting-gear storage.
Check all lifting accessories have identifiable WLL or SWL markings.
Match equipment to its examination records and certification.
Quarantine unidentified, damaged or unsuitable equipment.
Identify the weight and centre of gravity of every component.
Confirm suitable lifting and attachment points.
Prepare a written dismantling sequence.
Assess the changing stability of the remaining structure.
Design temporary supports where required.
Provide a suitable lifting appliance and accessories.
Establish an exclusion zone based on possible load movement.
Prevent anyone standing beneath or beside an unsupported component.
Appoint competent people to plan and supervise the operation.
Stop and reassess work where the method or conditions change.
Treat worker concerns as a reason to review the system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a heavy-duty ratchet strap be used to lift a load?
No. A high lashing capacity does not make an ordinary ratchet strap suitable for lifting. Use purpose-designed lifting equipment with an identifiable WLL or SWL.
Can a ratchet strap be used to lower a beam?
No. LOLER defines lifting operations as including the lowering of loads. Equipment used to lower a beam must be suitable for lifting operations and selected through competent planning.
Does thoroughly examining a ratchet strap make it lifting equipment?
No. Thorough examination can assess the condition of suitable lifting equipment. It cannot change a product’s intended purpose or design.
Does every dismantling operation need a written method?
Where work falls within demolition or dismantling under CDM regulation 20, the arrangements must be recorded in writing before the work begins.
What equipment should be used to lower steelwork?
The answer depends on the component weight, structure, attachment points and environment. Suitable options may include a crane, hoist, chain block, lever hoist or another purpose-designed system selected by a competent person.
Who should plan the operation?
The planner must have sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge of the structure, load, lifting equipment and applicable legal requirements. More complex operations require greater specialist competence.
Can workers briefly stand beneath a supported beam?
Workers should not stand beneath suspended or inadequately supported components. Before anyone approaches, the component should be landed or independently secured in a stable condition.
Over the past few months, All Star Safety Ltd has been working across a wide range of projects, supporting construction companies, contractors, and organisations with their health and safety, training, and competency requirements. The variety of work reflects the changing demands within the industry, with clients increasingly looking for flexible, practical solutions that genuinely improve safety standards on site.
A significant part of recent activity has focused on delivering bespoke training tailored to client operations. This has included in-house slinger signaller training aligned to site-specific lifting operations, overhead crane training for industrial environments, and lift supervisor courses designed around real project scenarios rather than generic classroom content. Work at height training has also been delivered to reflect the actual risks operatives face on site, ensuring that delegates leave with practical knowledge they can apply immediately. These types of programmes form part of our wider approach to tailored training solutions, which you can explore further on our training and consultancy services page.
Alongside bespoke training, accredited courses continue to be a core part of delivery. First aid training has been particularly busy, with both Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work courses now being delivered regularly at our Ipswich training centre and client sites. These courses support businesses in meeting their legal duties under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 while ensuring that staff are confident in responding to real incidents. Details of upcoming courses can be found via our course calendar.
NPORS training has also been expanding, with slinger signaller courses forming a key part of this. These are often integrated with NVQ pathways, allowing operatives to progress from training through to formal competence recognition and ultimately upgrade their cards.
NVQs remain one of the busiest areas of the business. Across Levels 2 through to Level 7, learners are being supported through qualifications in plant operations, lifting operations, supervision, and senior management. You can view the full range on our construction NVQs page.
These qualifications are designed to be flexible, work-based, and aligned with real site activity, helping individuals demonstrate competence without stepping away from their roles.
In addition to training and qualifications, All Star Safety Ltd has been actively carrying out site inspections and supporting clients with their compliance and accreditation requirements. This includes helping businesses prepare for schemes such as CHAS, Constructionline, and SSIP, as well as providing ongoing consultancy to improve standards and reduce risk. These inspections are not just about identifying issues, but about working collaboratively with site teams to implement practical improvements that align with guidance from organisations such as the Health and Safety Executive.
One of the most exciting developments has been the rapid expansion of our e-learning offering. Our e-learning courses are growing quickly and are on track to cover all core health and safety topics by the middle of the year.
These courses are designed to provide high-quality, UK-relevant training that goes beyond basic awareness and supports real understanding of workplace risks and responsibilities.
Alongside this, our new employer e-learning portal is now live, providing businesses with a centralised platform to manage workforce training. Through the online training platform, employers can enrol staff, track progress, and access certificates in one place.
This is particularly valuable for companies managing multiple sites or teams, giving clear oversight of compliance and training status across the business.
Overall, the work being carried out reflects a clear direction: combining practical training, recognised qualifications, consultancy support, and digital learning to provide a complete safety solution. Rather than offering isolated services, the aim is to support clients across every stage of their health and safety journey.
If you are looking to improve safety standards, upskill your workforce, or streamline your training and compliance processes, All Star Safety Ltd can support you.
Insights from this year’s leading construction events
This autumn, All Star Safety Ltd attended two of the UK’s most influential construction industry trade shows — Vertikal Days and UK Construction Week — both of which offered valuable insights into the future of safety, training and site technology.
Vertikal Days, held at the East of England Showground, continues to be the UK’s most focused event for lifting and access equipment. As a centre that delivers NVQs for crane supervisors, appointed persons, and slinger/signallers — as well as lift planning consultancy — we found the event particularly relevant. From new telehandlers and tower cranes, to lifting accessories, rescue systems, and operator safety technologies, the innovations on display showed that the lifting sector is rapidly evolving — and so must training and compliance systems.
Over at UK Construction Week in Birmingham, sustainability, digitalisation and site productivity took centre stage. As always, there was plenty of discussion around workforce development, skills gaps, and the rising demand for NVQs and accredited training as a solution to both compliance and retention. Our work in supporting firms with workforce upskilling — from plant operations to senior management NVQs — is directly aligned with these themes.
What we missed — and what’s coming next
Although we didn’t get the chance to attend Plantworx this year at Newark Showground, it’s very much on our radar for 2026. This event, which also takes place around the same time of year as Vertikal Days and UKCW, is one of the UK’s most hands-on exhibitions for construction equipment, plant, and related services. With our expanding NPORS training centre and ongoing support for CPCS to Blue Card upgrades, we’re keen to attend next year and connect with both suppliers and clients across the plant and lifting operations space.
Looking ahead, we’re also preparing for the Health and Safety Event in early 2026. This is one of the UK’s top forums for updates on legislation, new safety tech, and compliance trends across all industries — not just construction. As a provider of health & safety consultancy, workplace audits, and NVQs in occupational safety, it’s an important fixture for staying current and ensuring our offer matches the needs of our clients.
Why trade shows matter for you
Whether you’re a construction manager, H&S advisor, or training coordinator, these events reveal where the industry is heading — and that’s key to keeping your workforce competent, compliant and competitive. Here are a few trends we’ve picked up from this year’s trade show circuit:
Lifting operations are becoming more digitised, with new software, sensors, and planning tools. NVQs and CPCS/NPORS assessments need to reflect this shift.
Green construction and sustainability are no longer buzzwords — they’re being baked into procurement, tendering, and skills frameworks.
Training remains critical, not just for compliance but for staff retention, card renewals, and workforce progression. Grant funding and card upgrade deadlines are driving uptake.
Health and safety is broadening to include mental health, digital safety tools, and more strategic, forward-looking approaches to risk management.
If you’re not already planning for how these themes impact your site or workforce, now’s the time to act.
How All Star Safety Ltd can support you
We’re more than just a training provider. We offer:
NPORS and CPCS plant training and NVQs, including support for Red to Blue card upgrades
Lifting operations consultancy, lift plan reviews, and NVQs in planning/supervising lifts
Health & Safety consultancy, workplace audits, and support with new regulatory requirements
NVQs from Level 2 to Level 7 across plant ops, site supervision, construction management, H&S, and more
Let’s make sure your team is ready for what’s next.
How assessment works NVQs are assessed through real workplace evidence. Your assessor will agree a plan and may use workplace observation, professional discussion, questions, photographs and work records.
