Using cranes to lift and move materials or equipment is a complex task, requiring exacting skills that meet specific standards, not least for health and safety.
That is why many clients make use of Hird’s contact lifting service which means we take the strain in terms of organising and managing the lift.
Here are just some of the benefits of allowing Hird to carry out a contract lift for your business.
We have 30 years’ of experience in contract lifting so you can really trust us to know what we are doing, whatever the circumstances.
With a contract lift, we are responsible for selecting precisely the right lifting equipment, such as mini cranes or spider cranes.
Our mini cranes and pick and carry cranes are the most modern and capable in the business, protected by the latest safety systems such as 3B6 monitoring devices.
We can also supply ancillary equipment such as spider booms (cherry pickers), scissor lifts, fork lifts and telehandlers required as part of the lifting project.
We are also provide the qualified and experienced crane operators and are responsible for planning and executing the lift safely and effectively. Because it is a contract lifting service, we retain liability for damage to lifting equipment, goods lifted, customer property, third party property and related injuries, for which we arrange appropriate insurances.
Hird has experience of providing a contract lifting service in a wide range of industries, including construction, heavy engineering, food processing and manufacturing.
Our contract lift team can be accessed across the UK, via our three depots.
The Southern Depot covers London and the south, our Central Depot serves the Midlands and our Northern Depot and head office is in Hull, Yorkshire.
