Forming great working relationships
“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.”

Contract lifting in the UK provides you with ultimate protection and simplifies the process for those without prior experience in lifting operations.
In contrast to regular mobile crane hire in the UK, a contract lift offers a more comprehensive service. The crane company takes responsibility for the entire lifting operation, providing a certified operator, lift planner (appointed person), and any other personnel required for a safe lift. They will also handle all the planning tasks like risk assessments and creating lift plans to ensure everything complies with safety regulations.
By choosing a contract lift, you benefit from reduced workload on your part, greater assurance of safety, and the expertise of the crane company to handle your lifting job smoothly.
