We operate a fleet of over 300 cranes, and our selection of heavy lift cranes includes a broad range of powerful, versatile machinery. These cranes boast a lifting capacity range of between 450 tonnes and 1,000 tonnes and are adaptable to suit different worksites and environments.
Our entire fleet is available for quick delivery thanks to our network of 30 locations across the UK.
At Ainscough, we offer a range of lifting solutions, from straightforward crane hire to turnkey contract lifting. To ensure a safe, quality service throughout, we operate a proven four-step process:
01 - Site Survey
Every project begins with a detailed site survey. We examine everything from access routes and terrain to overhead obstacles and environmental hazards.
02 - Lift Planning and Risk Assessments
Once we’ve gathered the details of your site, we’ll carefully plan your lift using CAD and BIM software, accounting for any restrictions. We’ll also conduct a thorough risk assessment for the lift.
03 - Method Statements
With everything planned, we can then draw up a clear method statement, setting out how the lift will be conducted and what safety measures will be in place.
04 - Execution
Finally, we execute the lift in strict accordance with the method statement, as well as all relevant health and safety legislation.
For a completely turnkey solution, we offer fully managed and insured contract lifting options. Tap the button below to learn more.
