Our diverse range of lifting services are distinguished by our hallmarks of diligence, precision and efficiency, and we’ve built our prestigious reputation by opting not to outsource these services to third parties. Instead, they’re delivered by our own in-house team, which comprises the most knowledgeable, experienced and trusted experts in the lifting industry.
This includes teams of crane operators, lift operatives and engineers, health and safety officers, and contract lift managers. The depth and breadth of their combined in-house expertise allows us to tackle all areas of a project, so our customers can expect unrivalled service on even the most heavy or complex lifts in Yorkshire.
Our contract lifting solutions span a range of services in which our experts can handle every aspect of the contract lift at hand, right from the initial design phase. Here, we use market-leading CAD software or BIM modelling to scope out the exact requirements of the lift. This gives us a solid foundation we can use to proceed to the next stages of the project as required; we can take on the method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management.
All this planning and engineering is undertaken by our own specialist engineers and contract lift managers, ensuring that you can always have total confidence to Make the Safe Choice with Ainscough Crane Hire. If your project involves a significantly complex or heavy lift in Yorkshire, we can even provide several of our services in the form of a bespoke, turnkey package – one that’s tailored to your exact requirements and schedule.
Our large and diverse fleet gives us the flexibility to serve a wide variety of key industries, including:
Our fleet encompasses mobile tower cranes, crawler cranes and heavy cranes. We can deploy these to anywhere in the country, either as individual units for ad hoc crane hire, or in teams for larger, multi-unit contracts.
