The right crane depends on several factors, including the weight of the load, lifting height, working radius and site conditions. Once we understand your project, we'll recommend the most suitable crane to complete the lift safely, efficiently and without unnecessary lifting capacity.

To provide an accurate quote, we'll ask about your job location, the item being lifted, its approximate weight, lifting height, site access and your preferred lifting date. If you're unsure about any details, our team will help determine the information needed to recommend the right lifting solution.

Limited access doesn't always prevent a successful lift. We'll assess factors such as available setup space, overhead obstacles and site access before recommending the most suitable crane. If there are any challenges, we'll discuss them with you before the lift takes place.

If the crane needs to operate on or affect a public road, footpath or other public area, permits or traffic management may be required. The requirements vary depending on the project location and scope of work. If additional approvals are needed, we'll explain what's required during the planning process.

Construction schedules can change unexpectedly, and we understand that flexibility is important. If your lifting date needs to be rescheduled, let us know as soon as possible and we'll work with you to arrange another suitable time, subject to crane availability.

Safety is always our priority. If weather conditions such as strong winds or severe storms make lifting unsafe, the lift may need to be postponed. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and work with you to reschedule the job as soon as conditions allow.
