The UK's Leading Crane Hire & Lifting Specialists

We offer a full range of crane hire and lifting services, including mobile crane hire, spider crane hire, HIAB hire and haulage, contract lifting, crane transport, machinery installation and removal, lift and shift, planning and design, drone surveys, and traffic management. Whether you need a single crane for a day or a fully managed lifting programme, we have the solution.

With crane hire (also known as Crane & Plant Hire), you take on the lifting equipment and operator, while responsibility for lift planning and management sits with your appointed person. Contract lifting is a fully managed service — we provide the appointed person, produce the lift plan and risk assessment, and take full legal responsibility for the operation under LOLER. If you're unsure which applies to your project, we'll talk you through it.

Yes - all our crane operators hold valid CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) cards and are trained to the highest industry standards. Every operator is competent in the specific type of crane they're operating, and all our lifting operations comply with LOLER and relevant health and safety legislation. You can expect a fully qualified, professional operator on every job.

Absolutely. Our planning and design team produces comprehensive lift plans, method statements, and risk assessments for every contract lift we undertake. For crane hire jobs where you're appointing your own appointed person, we can still provide supporting documentation and advice. All our lift plans are produced by competent, experienced personnel and are ready for client and site approval before the operation begins.

We work across a wide range of sectors, including construction, civil engineering, marine, offshore, energy production and renewables, infrastructure, manufacturing, plant and process, and fit-out. Our team has experience with the specific lifting challenges that each sector presents, so whatever your industry, you can expect knowledgeable, practical support from the outset.

Yes. Our HIAB hire service is specifically designed for sites where a conventional mobile crane isn't viable due to space constraints, overhead restrictions, or access limitations. HIAB vehicles are highly manoeuvrable and capable of precise load placement in confined areas, making them ideal for urban construction, roofing projects, and material deliveries where access is the main challenge.

Mobilisation times depend on availability and location, but we work hard to respond quickly to urgent requirements. For planned projects, we recommend contacting us as early as possible to ensure the right equipment is reserved for your dates. For time-critical or emergency lifts, call us directly and we'll do everything we can to get the right resource to you as fast as possible.

Whilst we're based in Lancashire and have strong roots in the North West, we operate nationwide. We regularly undertake projects in Yorkshire, the Midlands, Scotland, and beyond. Distance is rarely an obstacle for the right job - and our nationwide coverage means you get the same high standards, the same experienced team, and the same commitment to quality wherever your project is located.
