We don’t outsource any of these services, preferring to complete them with our very own in-house team.

This gives us a considerable pool of in house expertise to draw from, enabling us to provide total peace of mind as you ‘Make the Safe Choice’ with Ainscough Crane Hire.
Our contract lifting solutions cover a comprehensive range of solutions in which we undertake all aspects of the lift, right from the initial design phase. Here, we use CAD software or BIM modelling to scope the exact requirements of the lift, before using this information as the basis for the risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management and transport logistics, as well as round the clock management.
All this is undertaken by our own specialist engineers and contract lift managers, which gives you the complete peace of mind to ‘Make the Safe Choice’ with Ainscough Crane Hire. In the case of a particularly high-risk, heavy or complex lift, we can even provide several of our services in tandem in the form a bespoke turnkey package that’s tailored to your exact requirements and schedule.

• Infrastructure
• Petrochemical, oil and gas
• Industrial
• Power generation
