Contract Lift Projects

Leading contract lift projects in Merseyside

Our contract lift solutions cover a range of services in which Ainscough personnel can handle all aspects of the lift, from the initial consultation right through to final execution. At the earliest design phase, we use market-leading CAD software and BIM modelling to scope out the exact requirements of the lift. From here, we can then move onto the subsequent risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management.

All this detailed planning is carried out by our own specialists and contract lift managers, so you can always have the complete peace of mind to ‘Make the Safe Choice’ with Ainscough Crane Hire. If your project involves a particularly heavy or complex lift in Merseyside are concerned, we can even provide several of our services in tandem, in the form of a bespoke turnkey package that’s tailored to your exact requirements and schedule.
