As projects get bigger and more complex, the loads also get bigger and heavier. Complicated and extremely heavy loads need specialised equipment and planning to ensure a safe lift.
When an incident happens, the effects can be devastating. The consequences can cause injuries or even be fatal. Because of these big risks these lift bring, safety has the highest priority. For this reason, project management teams are placing an increasing emphasis on heavy lifting engineering and specialist transportation and consultancy. The skills and competences required for the engineers and consultants must match the work that has to be done.
The specialists at Cranesforyou have a lot of experience with supporting project management teams in every phase of complex lifting projects:
Project management teams often use our specialists knowledge and skills to minimize risks and ensure the safety of the staff.

Lifting is an activity during which the load is lifted in a controlled and guided manner, normally spoken from the bottom of the load, e.g. by means of a Fork Lift Truck, screw jack, rack jack, hydraulic jack, toe jack, lifting bag, etc.
Rigging is the act of moving a load horizontally, vertically or at other angles and possibly through different floor levels, while using the appropriate lifting and hoisting equipment. It also involves erecting and dismantling cranes and hoists.
Hoisting is an activity during which the load is suspended and hangs freely, e.g. by means of one or more crane, chain hoist, lever hoist, hoisting portal, beam clamp, winch, floating sheer leg, strand jack hoisting system, etc.
Transport of heavy and oversized objects by means of specialised transport equipment such as Self Propelled Modular Transporters (so-called SPMT), conventional modular and multi axle transporters, skidding techniques, heavy industrial roller sets and roller skates based on endless chain techniques.
