Safety and accuracy are fundamental requirements for lifting operations across petrochemical, oil and gas installations. For half a century, Ainscough has supported complex projects across these industries with technical lifting expertise and reliable crane capability.
Our clients in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries rely on our technical knowledge, experienced personnel and established operational procedures to meet the specific demands of on-site projects. This expertise supports lifting requirements ranging from individual planned lifts to long-term programmes, with defined QHSE procedures applied throughout the agreed scope of work.
Ainscough provides specialist petrochemical cranes and technical lifting support for oil and gas projects, combining crane capability with experienced personnel and project-specific planning where this forms part of the agreed service.
Projects across the petrochemical, oil and gas sectors can present complex lifting requirements that demand specialist knowledge and experience to identify a suitable lifting solution. At Ainscough, our expertise and technical capability allow us to provide crane hire and managed lifting solutions matched to project requirements, from initial engagement through to execution.
We provide nationwide cover through a network of 30 UK locations and an extensive crane fleet. Our lifting operations are carried out with reference to applicable BS 7121 guidance and relevant LOLER requirements, with responsibilities defined by the agreed service scope.
New plant construction, equipment installation and other petrochemical lifting requirements can involve complex access, configuration and operational constraints. Our approach combines early technical engagement, project planning and visualisation with the practical coordination and operational controls required for the agreed lifting scope.
For 50 years, Ainscough teams have supported lifting operations across petrochemical, oil and gas projects, including plant expansions, relocations, shutdowns and construction programmes. Our technical teams can assess crane suitability, access, working radius, configuration and site constraints, with lift planning, CAD visualisation and project coordination provided where these form part of the agreed service. This allows lifting arrangements to be developed around the specific operational requirements of each site and project.
Our comprehensive UK network supports consistent service across both single-site and multi-site project requirements. Our extensive fleet gives the technical team access to a broad range of crane types and capacities, allowing lifting support to be tailored to the specific application, site conditions and demands of the work.
