The Smarter Way to Lift

Complete Lifting Management, Start to Finish

Contract lifting puts the planning, compliance, and legal accountability firmly in our hands — giving you a safer, simpler lifting operation.

When you appoint Lift-Rigg UK as your contract lifting contractor, our appointed person takes full legal accountability for the entire operation under LOLER 1998. We survey the site, write the lift plan, supply the crane, manage the on-site team, and ensure every element of the lift is executed safely, compliantly, and on schedule. There's no need for in-house lifting expertise, no ambiguity about who's accountable, and no gaps in your compliance.

Whether you're managing a complex infrastructure project or a straightforward one-off lift, we bring the same level of professionalism, precision, and care to every job. From the first phone call to the final de-rig, it's all on us.

No Appointed Person Required

No in-house lifting expertise needed - we provide a fully qualified appointed person to plan and manage the operation from start to finish.

Full LOLER Compliance

Every contract lift is planned and executed in strict accordance with LOLER 1998, with complete documentation provided as standard throughout.

One Contractor, Total Accountability

A single point of contact manages everything - crane, crew, plan, and paperwork - eliminating the risk of gaps between contractors on complex lifts.
