Crane hire questions
What crane do you use?
A lorry-mounted PM 45SP crane with a fly jib, giving up to 28 metres of vertical reach. It is mounted on our own Volvo lorry, so the crane arrives ready to work.
Who operates the crane?
Every lift is carried out by our own ALLMI accredited operator. ALLMI is the Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers and Importers, the UK training standard for lorry loader cranes.
What is the difference between crane hire and a contract lift?
With crane hire you get the crane and operator and you manage the lift. With a contract lift we take responsibility for the whole lift, including a site-specific lift plan, so you can get on with the rest of the job.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Whaley Bridge in the High Peak and cover Derbyshire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and further afield. Ask us about jobs outside the area.
