Global Crane Services have a dedicated team of personnel on hand to plan and execute your lifting operation. From basic to complex lifting categories we can reduce the element of risk involved in lifting operations. As well as the correct crane selection and configuration we will provide a detailed method statement, risk assessment, insurances, CAD planning as well as collaborating with local authorities where necessary. We will ensure all factors of the lifting operation are considered and managed accordingly.

Our CPCS fully trained appointed persons will assess each individual lifting operation and devote their expertise in this field ensuring that the lift is executed in a safe manner and in accordance with BS7121 (safe use of cranes) and to the terms and conditions of CPA contract lift below.
