Our experienced teams can support the installation, maintenance and replacement of critical equipment, alongside the lifting and positioning of heavy materials across challenging mining and quarry environments.

Safety remains fundamental to our approach. We combine experienced people, an extensive crane fleet and established operational processes with technical planning and coordination where these form part of the agreed service scope, backed by our Make the Safe Choice commitment and established safety procedures.

If you require crane hire for mining operations, Ainscough can provide the specialist lifting support needed for your site and project requirements.

DEPENDABLE MINING CRANE HIRE SERVICES

Mining crane hire can assist with a range of operational requirements, from planned maintenance and equipment replacement to shutdowns and larger site works. Ainscough supports individual lifts through crane hire and lifting services, with a suitable crane identified around factors such as load requirements, lifting radius, access and site conditions where this forms part of the agreed service scope. 

MINING CRANE HIRE PROCESS

For managed mining lifting projects, Ainscough follows a structured approach that brings technical planning, project coordination and safety considerations together. The exact support provided depends on the lifting requirements and agreed service scope. 

  • Project Coordination: We engage with your team to understand the scope of work, lifting requirements and how our operations will integrate with activity across the mining site.
  • Lift Planning: For a managed Contract Lift, our technical team plans the lifting operation around the load, crane configuration, lifting radius, site conditions and relevant operational requirements within the agreed scope. 
  • Technical Visualisation: Where required, CAD modelling and drawings can support crane positioning, access, working clearances and lift-feasibility assessments. 
  • Site Access Planning: If access restrictions affect the operation, we can support crane positioning, access planning and coordination within our agreed scope, working with relevant site teams and third parties where necessary.
  • Safety & QHSE: Our established QHSE processes and Make the Safe Choice commitment guide Ainscough’s involvement alongside relevant site requirements and the controls identified for the lifting operation.
