Services

Two main types of lift are available – standard crane hire and contract lifts. Essentially, if you or your organisation does not have expertise in lifting operations or do not hold appropriate insurance cover, you should always opt for a contract lift.

Contract Lifts

We provide a full Contract lift service, eliminating the need for you to prepare a method statement and risk assessment and passing responsibility for the management and supervision of the lift operation over to us, thereby reducing risk and ensuring the lift complies fully with BS7121. Our insurance covers us for £10 million public and products liability and £5 million employers liability.

Our appointed persons will carry out a site survey to assess your crane requirements and prepare a method statement and risk assessment detailing how the lift will be carried out. Where necessary we will contact the local authority on your behalf to arrange road closure licences and we will provide all equipment, trained operators and banksman/slingers to carry out the job, plus an appointed person to supervise the lifting operation itself.

Crane Hire

Under our standard crane hire, responsibility for planning and supervising the lift remains with the customer, along with the insurance liability. We will supply the crane and operator and can also provide banksman/slingers for you depending on your needs. A separate insurance package can be arranged if you do not have the appropriate cover available.

Free estimates and site surveys

A proper assessment of each job is essential and we undertake estimates, lift studies and site visits free of charge and with absolutely no customer commitment required.
