Independent Heavy Lift Consultancy
Consulting that Adds Value at Every Project Stage
At Cranes for You, we provide consultancy services throughout the entire lifecycle of your project — from FEED through construction and operation. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience in heavy lifting, rigging, hoisting, and specialized transport operations.
We integrate early with your project team to reduce scheduling risk, improve safety, and optimize both operation and cost. As an independent partner, we offer unbiased technical advice and practical solutions — no hidden agenda, just expert, pragmatic input.
To ensure your lifting activities meet the highest standards, many clients combine our consultancy services with our Lifting Safety & Compliance programs, which provide audits, procedure reviews, and safety verification.
Independent Third-Party Technical Audits
To support your risk management strategy, we perform independent third-party assessments of contractor proposals for lifting, rigging, and transport. Our audits evaluate:
- contractor engineering and design documentation
- safety and procedural compliance
- method statements and risk mitigation measures
- rigging configuration and lifting plan robustness
When needed, we also provide on-site monitoring to ensure contractors execute the operation according to the approved plan.
These audits align seamlessly with our Heavy Lift Engineering Services, where lift plans, calculations, and configurations are technically reviewed in detail.
