Safe, reliable, and sustainable mobile crane hire & contract lifting
Leading sustainable lifting
We’re powered by 100% renewable HVO biofuel
We became the first mobile crane hire company in the UK to transition 100% of our cranes to operate on renewable HVO in 2021, a green alternative to diesel with significantly less emissions.
Since then, we’ve switched all operational vehicles to HVO, including vans and support vehicles too, reducing our scope 1&2 CO2 emissions by over 95%.
Why work with Cadman Cranes?
All our vehicles run on 100% renewable HVO biofuel. We’re aiming to be net-zero for our own operations by 2025.

A recommended provider of crane hire solutions
“A short while ago we contacted you to conduct a Contract Lift to lift in some concrete plinths on a restricted, awkward site at short notice.
Other crane firms we had approached let us down constantly. Your workforce engaged with us from day one to find solutions to the problems. It has been an outstanding effort from all your workforce.
Thank you for a successful outcome. Your company has been a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone.”
