For more than four decades, we’ve been at the centre of multiple key sectors, providing blue chip clients with access to our diverse array of lifting services – all distinguished by our characteristic hallmarks of diligence, efficiency and precision. Our services are carried out by our own in-house staff, comprising teams of 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 tackle all areas of a given project, providing planning and engineering services of the very highest quality – so you can always expect a peerless service whatever the nature or scale of the project at hand.
Our contract lifts solutions cover a range of services in which our experts can undertake every aspect of the lift, from the initial consultation right through to final execution. At the design phase, we typically use CAD software and BIM modelling to scope the exact requirements for the lift. This gives us a solid grounding which we can use to move on to the subsequent risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management.
Every aspect of this detailed planning is handled by our very own in-house team, giving you complete confidence to Make the Safe Choice with Ainscough Crane Hire. If yours is a particularly heavy or complex lift in Darwen, we can even provide several of our services in tandem, allowing you to benefit from a bespoke turnkey package that’s tailored to your exact deadlines and requirements.
