CRANE HIRE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Ainscough is a specialist crane hire partner supporting infrastructure projects across the UK. Our expertise and understanding of complex lifting requirements enable us to support operations across the construction, maintenance and demolition of critical infrastructure.

Safety is built into Ainscough’s involvement as standard, combining competent people, well-maintained equipment, robust documentation and specialist technical support with careful planning where this forms part of the agreed service scope. Our safety-first approach is reinforced by ongoing training and development alongside established QHSE processes across our operations. 

If you need lifting support for an upcoming major infrastructure project, Ainscough’s extensive crane fleet enables us to determine a suitable solution around your specific requirements.

EXPERT INFRASTRUCTURE CRANE HIRE

Major infrastructure works can involve complex lifting requirements that call for experienced, safety-focused support. Ainscough provides both CPA Crane Hire and fully managed Contract Lift services to suit different project needs. Where a managed Contract Lift is required, our technical and operational teams assess the lifting requirements, site conditions and relevant risks before planning and coordinating the operation within the agreed scope.

Where Ainscough is responsible for the lifting operation, our work is carried out with reference to applicable BS 7121 guidance and relevant LOLER requirements.

OUR INFRASTRUCTURE CRANE HIRE PROCESS

For managed infrastructure lifting projects, Ainscough follows a structured approach that brings technical planning, project coordination and safety considerations together from the early stages of the operation. The exact support provided is defined by the lifting requirements and agreed service scope. 

  1. Strategic Collaboration: Where Ainscough is engaged early, we can work with your project team to develop a lifting strategy that supports the wider programme and project requirements. 
  2. Lift Planning: For a managed Contract Lift, our technical team plans the lifting operation in line with the agreed scope, considering the crane, load, site conditions, access and other technical and operational requirements. 
  3. Lift Visualisation: Where required, our technical team can use CAD modelling and drawings to assess crane positioning, access, working clearances and lift feasibility, providing a clearer view of the planned operation before work begins. 
  4. Access & Road Planning: Where access restrictions or road closures affect the lifting operation, we can support the coordination and planning requirements within our agreed scope, working alongside the relevant project teams and third parties where required. 
  5. Safety & QHSE: Ainscough’s established QHSE processes support our work throughout the project, alongside relevant site requirements and the controls identified for the lifting operation.

SUPPORTING A RANGE OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Our team has extensive experience delivering lifts for infrastructure projects across the UK, including rail trackside installations, road and bridge projects, wind farms, water treatment works, major transport projects and data centres. This experience gives our teams an understanding of the access, coordination and lifting challenges that can arise across complex infrastructure environments. 

Major infrastructure projects can involve multiple contractors, challenging site conditions and lifting requirements that evolve as work progresses. We work collaboratively with your project team throughout, coordinating our operations with wider site activity and adapting to changing requirements to support safe, efficient delivery across long-term programmes.

With 30 strategic locations across the UK, our nationwide network enables us to coordinate crane mobilisation, managed Contract Lift services and emergency response support for infrastructure projects, including work spanning multiple regions.
