Lifting Awareness, Lifting Standards: How Handling Equipment Canterbury Supports GLAD 2025

📅 Global Lifting Awareness Day – July 2025
📍 100% NZ Owned & Operated – Proudly based in Canterbury

At Handling Equipment Canterbury, we don’t just lift loads—we lift industry standards. That’s why we’re proud to support Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD) 2025, a campaign dedicated to promoting safety, training, and innovation across the lifting sector.

“Lifting equipment saves time, reduces risk, and powers industries—but only when used safely and correctly. GLAD is about celebrating that responsibility.”

Why GLAD Matters

Lifting equipment is essential across construction, agriculture, transport, utilities, and manufacturing. But it’s also high-risk. GLAD reminds us that behind every chain block or lifting sling is a trained person and a responsibility to work safely.

Organised by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA), GLAD unites suppliers, inspectors, operators, and end users in a global push for better safety, standards, and awareness.

Our Commitment to Safer Lifting

At Handling Equipment Canterbury, supporting GLAD isn’t just symbolic—it’s built into how we operate every day.

• ✅ We provide expert testing & inspection services to keep your gear safe and compliant.
• ✅ We stock and service certified lifting solutions that meet NZ and international standards.
• ✅ We offer specialist advice for lifting challenges—on the farm, in the factory, or on the job site.
• ✅ We raise awareness across our platforms and within our own team—because education saves lives

Get Involved – Let’s Lift Smarter, Safer, Together

GLAD is more than a day. It’s a mindset.

Whether you’re running a major industrial site or a local workshop, lifting safety should never be left to chance. Let’s use GLAD 2025 as a reminder to check gear, book inspections, and upskill teams.
