Knowledge base
Datasheets, declarations of conformity, the standards behind each product and the questions we get every week. Leave your details once and every document on the site opens for you.
Datasheets & declarations
Datasheets carry the safe working load, materials, temperature range and drawing. The declaration of conformity sits on the product page next to it.

Standards explained
Every product page names the standard it helps you meet. Here is what each one asks for — in plain language.
US construction
Housekeeping and walkway clearance on US construction sites — the rule most often cited when cables are found on the floor.
UK wiring regulations
Support of temporary cable runs; the IET Wiring Regulations require cables to be supported so they cannot be damaged or cause a hazard.
Fire behaviour
Fire behaviour of cable support in buildings and plants — why the hook itself must not add fuel load.
Flame retardancy
The hook material self-extinguishes within seconds and does not drip burning particles.
Work at height
Safety nets and dropped-object prevention for work at height and offshore; DROPS recommended practice for secondary retention.
Guard rails and gates
Permanent means of access to machinery — the self-closing safety gate exceeds its requirements with a 180 kg impact load.
Slip resistance
Certified slip resistance of the Walkway Mat on elevated gratings, with drainage class V10.
Zoned areas
Non-conductive, non-sparking PBT for zoned areas — the site classification applies; we supply the material data.

All 18 questionsCableSafe sells through authorised distributors and project pricing. Public prices would undercut the people who stock, deliver and support you locally. Send the list — you get a quote within one working day, or your distributor's pricing if you have an account.
Yes. Every product page has "Request a quote". It adds the article and quantity to one list; the list suggests items that usually ship together. One send, one quote.
A typical 70 mm² welding lead weighs about 0.9 kg per metre. Four leads at 3 m spacing need roughly 14 kg per hook with margin — a 6 in (40 kg) is enough; sites usually standardise on 9 in for headroom.
The body is non-conductive, non-sparking PBT. Whether a product may be used in a zone depends on the site's classification — the material sheet and DoC give the data your safety officer needs.
Stock items dispatch the next working day from the nearest warehouse. Turnaround orders can be split-shipped.
Yes — no account needed. Leave your name, company and work email once and every datasheet, declaration of conformity and drawing on the site opens for you. Only prices require a quote request or a distributor login.
