Lifting over a hoarding you cannot see past
A site hoarding is two and a half metres of solid plywood. Going over it is easy. Knowing what is on the other side is the job.
Real lifts on real sites, named by place.
Every piece in this section is a job that actually happened, with the place named and the lorry that did it named too. We write them up because the questions people ask before booking — will it reach, where will the lorry stand, what happens if the gateway is too narrow — are answered better by one real site than by any amount of general description.
Between them they cover stadium compounds, city-centre streets with a hoarding in the way, farm tracks and yards you can only get out of backwards. If you would rather have the photographs than the words, the portfolio is sorted by year, and the fleet page lists the vehicle and crane behind each one.

Some loads are too long for one crane rather than too heavy. Then you need two, working to one voice, and the planning triples.
A stadium redevelopment needs somewhere for everybody to work out of before it needs anything else. That is our part of it, and it happens before the interesting bit starts.
