Heavy Lift & Rigging Management Services

Professional Management for High-Risk Lifting Operations

Managing heavy lift, rigging and specialised transport activities requires technical expertise, operational awareness, and consistent oversight. At Cranes for You, we support companies by providing independent management services that improve safety, efficiency and predictability across all phases of a project.

Our management support often works hand-in-hand with our Lifting Safety & Compliance services, ensuring operations, procedures and personnel all meet the highest industry standards.

Management Support Throughout the Project Lifecycle

We manage and coordinate lifting and rigging activities from early project development through execution. This includes:

  • developing execution strategies and operational frameworks
  • selecting and coordinating contractors, equipment and lifting methods
  • monitoring engineering deliverables, lift plans and method statements
  • ensuring compliance with specifications, standards and internal procedures
  • facilitating communication between engineering, HSE and site operations
  • managing change, delays and risk escalation
  • maintaining full technical governance throughout execution

Many clients combine this with our Heavy Lift Engineering Services, where we provide full engineering review, calculation checks and lift plan development.

On-Site Construction & Execution Management

During the execution phase, our specialists can be deployed on-site as part of your project or construction management team. Typical responsibilities include:

  • daily oversight of lifting and rigging activities
  • validating the safe setup of cranes, rigging and transport systems
  • monitoring contractor performance and procedural compliance
  • coordinating logistics and sequencing between multiple disciplines
  • ensuring risk controls and mitigations remain effective throughout operations
  • resolving site issues quickly to avoid delays or unsafe conditions

If required, we also provide independent third-party supervision, which complements the technical auditing services described on our Consultancy page.

Competence and Personnel Management

Safe lifting operations depend on competent people. We manage:

  • competence assessments
  • personnel selection and qualification control
  • skills-gap identification
  • verification of Appointed Persons, Lift Supervisors, Rigging teams and Operators

When competence gaps are identified, we connect this directly with our Training & Education programs, helping companies create consistent global competence standards for lifting personnel.

Governance, Risk & Compliance Oversight

We support organisations in establishing governance structures that ensure all lifting and rigging activities meet internal and external requirements. This includes:

  • development of lifting governance frameworks
  • policies, procedures and control processes
  • global or regional lifting standards
  • alignment with ISO, EN, OSHA and OEM requirements
  • audit planning and execution
  • incident review and lessons learned programs

These governance services work seamlessly with our Lifting Safety & Compliance page, where inspections, validations and compliance audits are described in more detail.
