Contract Crane Lifts
Careful planning plus experience equals zero incidents
MRI undertakes Contract Crane Lifts in a wide variety of situations. Whether it’s a relatively simple lift with one of our HIAB lorries (often at short notice) or a complex multiple lift using a crane in the heart of The City – we deliver a safe, bespoke solution.
After a full site survey, our Appointed Person will prepare a full Lifting Plan detailing all the procedures, methodology, and safe systems of work that will ensure a smooth, trouble-free lifting operation.

OUR SERVICES
When Order Recieved
Once an order is received, the Lifting Plan is issued to the client for approval and if necessary we carry out any preparations required before the date of the cranage; unbolting/dismantling equipment, preparation of Landing Areas, etc. This saves our clients both time and money and ensures that deadlines are adhered to.
As well as preparing Method Statements, Risk Assessments, CAD drawings and Lifting Plans we also cover every aspect of the lift – this often involves road closures with full chapter 8 traffic and pedestrian management systems in place.
Fully Qualified Operatives
All our operatives are fully experienced and hold all the relevant qualifications and accreditations. Our key personnel has been with us since the beginning – and as a result, are extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of crane operations.
Every Contract Lift will be supervised by an Appointed Person with our Lift Supervisor ensuring that our team of experienced Slinger/Signalmen are made aware of every aspect of the lift. Nothing is left to chance!
Underpropping
Underground Carparks & Services beneath the streets of congested urban areas such as the City of London present their problems when planning and carrying out a crane lift. Often there is no option other than to site a crane above these voids. Working with structural engineers, MRI can provide an underpropping service that will allow a crane lift to be carried out when otherwise impossible.
Crane Mat Hire
MRI can supply and deliver a range of crane mats (both steel and wooden) to reduce ground loadings to an acceptable level during crane operations.
Our Contract Crane Lifts services include the following:
We can offer a complete service as part of our Contract Crane Lift Package including –
- A free pre-quotation survey. This will examine the various options available and will take into account any local conditions that may be a factor when it comes to planning the Crane Lift.
- If the Crane is required to be sited on a public road, then MRI will put in the required applications for any full/partial closures to allow the crane operation to be carried out. These applications will include the suspension where required of any parking bays.
- All required environmental applications will also be forwarded to the relevant authorities.
- When public transport may be affected, then MRI will arrange any required bus lane suspensions and bus diversions. Any required traffic light suspensions/relocations will also be arranged.
- A full traffic/pedestrian management drawing will be issued.
An Appointed Person will prepare and issue a full Lifting Plan with detailed CAD drawings. This Lifting Plan will cover all aspects of the cranage works and is a legal requirement, ensuring that all works are properly planned and managed and that a safe system of works is in place.
As part of our service, we can plan and organize all deliveries so that the crane operation can be completed as quickly as possible with minimum disruption. To help ensure that everything goes smoothly on the day of work, we can take delivery of and store any items that may require lifting – delivering them to the site as and when required.
On the day of work, A secure ‘compound’ will be set up consisting of Heras fencing at ground level. All lifting operations will take place within this ‘exclusion zone’ ensuring no members of the public are put at risk.
All areas will be fully controlled by traffic and pedestrian marshals.
MRI will ensure that the crane supplied to carry out the work is suitable for your project.
As part of our Contract Lifting Service, on the day of work we will supply an Appointed Person, Crane Supervisor, and Slinger/Signallers, and, if required, a movement crew.
- All required Certified Lifting Equipment including spreader beams etc. will be provided.
All Crane operations are covered by our insurance.
