We’ve been operating for more than 40 years here at Ainscough Crane Hire, and over that time we’ve firmly established ourselves as a UK leader in our field, serving clients with a range of lifting services all distinguished by our hallmarks of precision, diligence and efficiency.
We don’t outsource these services – instead, they’re carried out by our in-house team, which comprises some of the most knowledgeable and respected experts in the lifting industry. This includes crane operators, lift operatives and engineers, contract lift managers, and health and safety officers. With their combined expertise at our disposal, we’re able to target any and all areas of a project, guaranteeing flawless service on every contract lift – whether your project involves one-off mobile crane hire, industry leading project management, or comprehensive contract lifting solutions in Basildon.
When you choose Ainscough Crane Hire for contract lift solutions, we can offer you a range of services in which our in-house team can undertake any or all aspects of the lift, from the initial design phase all the way through to final execution. At the early stages, we typically use market-leading CAD software or BIM modelling to scope the project’s exact requirements. From there, we can also move on to the risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management – taking on any or all of them as required.
All this is undertaken by our own experienced specialists, which gives you the confidence you need to ‘Make the Safe Choice’ with Ainscough Crane Hire. Should the situation require it, we can even combine several of our services into one bespoke turnkey package, tailored to your own specific schedule and requirements.
