For more than four decades here at Ainscough Crane Hire, we’ve been at the centre of a variety of key sectors, gaining extensive experience in using the size and range of our fleet to fulfil the requirements of our blue chip customers with diligence, precision and efficiency. Our lifting services are carried out by our very own in-house team, which comprises some of the most knowledgable, experienced and trusted experts in the lifting industry – including teams of crane operators, lift operatives and engineers, contract lift managers, and health and safety officers.
By drawing on the considerable pool of expertise that they can provide, we’re able to target all areas of a project, providing a truly unrivalled service on even the most complex or heavy lift in Thatcham.
Our contract lifting solutions refer to a range of services in which our experts can assume responsibility for every aspect of a project – from the initial consultation right through to final execution. We typically begin by using market-leading CAD software and BIM modelling to specify the exact requirements of the lift. This enables us to gather key information that we then use for the risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management.
All detailed planning is undertaken by our very own experts here at Ainscough Crane Hire, so that you can always have the total confidence you need to ‘Make the Safe Choice’. If your project concerns a particularly high-risk or heavy lifts in Thatcham, we’re able to provide several of our services in the form of a single turnkey package, all tailored to your precise requirements and deadlines.
Our diverse fleet encompasses mobile tower cranes, crawler cranes and heavy cranes, which allows us to provide unrivalled service to clients in the following key sectors:
Our national coverage means that we can make our cranes available in any location, either in tandem as part of a co-ordinated multi-unit contract, or individually if you only need to hire a crane for a quick ad-hoc job in Thatcham. Whatever the specifics of your project, rest assured that you can always rely on Ainscough to deliver.
