We carry out comprehensive surveys to ascertain the appropriate size of crane needed for your project and which will successfully fulfil your requirements.
We have nationwide accounts at competitive rates with many of the UK crane companies and can provide a mobile crane on a hired & managed basis, from 8 tonne to 800 tonnes, often at very short notice.
We arrange all traffic diversions, signage, cones, barriers etc., to the requirements of the police and local authorities to ensure the minimum of disruption to road users and pedestrians
We arrange all necessary permits and notifications in consultation with the Police and Local Authorities.
All works carried out by our company are fully insured and include £10 million Employers & Public Liability, £1.5 million Hired in Plant and our special ‘Machinery Movement’ Policy, for all our lifting and moving operations.
Our operatives are fully experienced and hold CITB certificates for Slinging and Banking.
In addition they also have certificates for Appointed Person Lifting Operations, Telescopic & Rough Terrain Forklifts, Mobile Scaffold erection, Safety Awareness, Manual Handling, Work at Height and Emergency First Aid. Copies of their certificates are available for inspection from their crew vehicles.
Once the project has been tendered & awarded it is firstly incorporated into our forward planner, our management team will then plan every aspect of the operation leading up to that date including the provision of sketches, method statements and accompanying risk assessments.
Our Health & Safety Adviser regularly advises on safety matters and visits site as appropriate.
All crew vehicles carry first aid kits and operatives personal protective equipment, comprising hard hats, safety footware, overalls, reflective tabards, ear defenders, goggles and safety harnesses.
In addition to our specialist training our operatives naturally ensure that all the appropriate safety measures are in place including fire extinguishers and fire blankets.
Our crews operate from a fleet of modern vehicles, fully equipped with all the appropriate mobile communication facilities, certificates and equipment necessary to carry out the task.
In addition we stock a range of consumables, safety and specialist lifting equipment within our warehouse which we can deliver to site with our HIAB or flat bed support vehicle, as necessary.
A few days prior to carrying out any lifting operations we obtain a weather forecast to ascertain the viability of proceeding. In the event that to continue would result in a wasted visit, we can recommend that the work is suspended until a later date, usually at no extra cost to the client and which inevitably saves them further unnecessary costs from transport and labour.
Either utilising our own transport and/or working with one of our partners, we can arrange for the collection or delivery of any items, complete with any appropriate permits, including the transportation and disposal of waste and redundant equipment for which we hold the appropriate waste registration.
From associations formed through BAA Framework contractors, we carry out work at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. Our operatives, many of whom have airside passes and airside driving licences, have extensive experience operating in this unique environment. In particular we have authorised signatories for Gatwick Airport, which enables us to completely manage every aspect of the work we undertake.
