Crane Hire

Crane Hire & Contract Lifting

Mobile crane hire and contract lifting with lift planning, supervision and documentation matched to the project.

What We Do

Comprehensive Crane Hire Services

On a fully managed lift, Simmons provides the appointed person and the supervising team. Crane hire and a contract lift are different arrangements. A contract lift can include a full contract lift package, lift supervision and full project management, depending on your needs. Simmons can also provide ground surveys and plate testing. For a significant lift or installation, a site survey may be needed to assess ground conditions, access routes, proximity hazards and load requirements. Simmons supplies the correct level of insurance for the agreed operation. Under CPA crane hire conditions, the client provides an appointed person, a detailed safe system of work, supervision and the appropriate insurance.
