A small office, and the same people on the phone and the email year after year. These are the ones you are most likely to deal with.
Plans the vehicles, signs off the vehicle schedule and is usually the person who decides which unit goes to your job. If you have asked us whether a lift is a job for a rigid or an artic, the answer came from Keith.
Handles invoicing, trade accounts and credit applications. If you want to put the work on account rather than settle job by job, Karen is who you will be speaking to.
Transport and cabins. Alongside the haulage side he looks after the cabin work, which covers both moving portable cabins for clients and the used cabins we sell out of the Manchester yard.
The person who turns up is the person who works the crane. Our driver / operators drive the wagon, set it up and make the lift, so there is no waiting on a second vehicle or a separate crane crew to arrive.
Most are ALLMI trained and CPCS qualified, with continuous skills training. Several hold Rail Track PTS and we are LINK UP members for safety critical sites. The cranes are worked by remote control, so the operator stands where they can actually see the load rather than sitting in a cab looking at it side-on.
Staff retention here is among the highest in the industry, which is why clients on ongoing work tend to see the same faces week after week.
We have a NEBOSH qualified health and safety officer and our own appointed persons. We can supply lift plans and risk assessment method statements, generic or written around your site.
The wagons are our own rather than hired in, and we invest in new ones continually rather than running trucks into the ground, which is why the 32 and 44 tonne trucks are Euro VI and clean air zone compliant.

Keith Robinson. He plans the vehicles and signs off the vehicle schedule, so the decision on whether your lift needs a rigid, an artic or a wagon and drag is made in the office before anything is booked.
