Leading contract lift projects in Leigh
Our contract lift solutions cover a broad range of services in which our experts can undertake responsibility for all aspects of the lift. This spans right from the initial design phase – in which we use CAD software or BIM modelling to scope the exact requirements of the lift – all the way through to final execution. As well as the initial design, we can also handle the risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management.
All this detailed planning is undertaken by our own specialist engineers and contract lift managers here at Ainscough Crane Hire, with safety at the heart of everything we do. If your project is a particularly complex or heavy lift in Leigh, we can also provide several of our services in the form of one bespoke, turnkey package that’s tailored to your specific schedule and requirements.
