Engineering solutions at every stage during lifting

As projects grow in size and complexity, so do the loads needing transportation. Ultra-heavy loads require specialized equipment for lifting, hoisting, rigging, and transport that push today’s boundaries. Safety and effective management of these operations are paramount, as incidents can lead to severe injuries, disrupted operations, material damage, and costly project delays.

Project management teams are increasingly prioritizing heavy lift and specialized transport engineering and consultancy. Since lifting operations are often Critical Path Activities, we collaborate with design teams to model various construction phases, identifying and resolving lifting issues before execution.

Our conceptual studies involve data collection and brainstorming to explore numerous options, making it an ideal time to assess the impact of heavy lift and transport activities. Following this, feasibility studies refine and develop the selected options for implementation.

Solving problems and minimizing risks

The transportation of heavy and oversized components can lead to unpredictable impacts on your budget and schedule if not carefully planned from the outset. Local regulations may require significant adjustments to existing infrastructure, which can create unexpected costs and challenges in meeting contractual obligations.

Cranes for You helps minimize these risks with decades of experience in projects ranging from simple pad eye design to innovative bridge erection schemes. Our contractor-friendly approach sets us apart, as we understand that expertise alone is not enough. Engineering firms and contractors value subcontractors who are responsive, motivated, and collaborative.

Cranes for You takes pride in addressing challenges and solving problems alongside our clients, making us a preferred partner for both large and small projects, and excelling in collaboration with contractors and subcontractors.

Engineering options you can count on

Safe and seamless project execution hinges on meticulous planning and engineering, the foundation of every successful lifting and transportation initiative. Developing innovative solutions demands specialized skills that are not commonly found in many companies, encompassing the following areas:

  • Construction methodology
  • Modularisation decisions and module design
  • Construction site and route investigation
  • Route selection and road design
  • Setting up estimates
  • Preparing tender documentation and requests for quotations
  • Evaluation of tenders and proposed lifting and transport methods
  • Risk analysis and mitigation
  • Project specific Method Statements
  • Technical drawings in 2D/3D CAD and 3D animated lifting and transport studies and plans
  • Rigging and stability calculations
  • Structural analysis and lashing calculation
  • Design of special lifting devices, lifting beams, spreaders, triangles etc.
  • Rigging selection and inspection
  • Barge stability calculations, design of sea fastening
  • Load-out and Ro-Ro procedures and handbook
  • Load spreading calculation and design
  • Finite element and structural analysis
