RELIABLE CRANE HIRE SERVICE FOR THE UTILITY SECTOR

Utility lifting projects can involve varied working environments, restricted sites and operations that need to be carefully coordinated around existing activity. Ainscough’s experienced teams provide utility sector crane hire for a range of project requirements, with lifting support coordinated around the specific conditions, constraints and agreed service scope. 

Where planning forms part of the agreed service scope, our technical team can support crane selection and lift planning around factors such as load characteristics, lifting radius, access and relevant site conditions. Where Ainscough is responsible for the lifting operation, our work is carried out with reference to applicable BS 7121 guidance and relevant LOLER requirements.

UTILITY SECTOR CRANE HIRE PROCESS

For managed Contract Lift projects, Ainscough follows a structured process from the initial enquiry through to on-site delivery, with support tailored to the lifting requirements and agreed service scope. 

  • Project Coordination: We work with your team to establish the scope, lifting requirements and how the operation will be coordinated around wider activity on site.
  • Lift Planning: Our technical team develops the lift procedure 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. 
  • Access & Positioning: We plan and coordinate crane access and positioning within the agreed scope, working with relevant site teams and third parties where required. 
  • 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.
