Our contract lifting solutions is the collective term we use to encompass a range of services we offer here at Ainscough Crane Hire, in which our experts can take responsibility for every aspect of the lift, right from the initial design phase. Here, we use CAD software or BIM modelling to scope the exact requirements of the lift, collating key information we’ll then use as the basis for the subsequent risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management.

We can even provide several of these services in tandem most complex or heavy lifts in Wishaw, with a bespoke turnkey package that’s tailored to your exact deadlines and requirements.
