Crane hire in Cardiff: what to have ready

Whichever firm you use, these details make a quote faster and more accurate.

  • The site address and postcode, and where the crane could stand.
  • What is being lifted: its weight if you know it, its size, and whether it has lifting points.
  • How far and how high: the distance from where the crane stands to where the load lands (the radius), and the height it has to clear.
  • Access: gateway and door widths, overhead cables, trees, and whether the crane needs to set up on a road or pavement.
  • Ground conditions: soft ground, cellars, drains and recent backfill all matter, because outriggers put a lot of load through a small area.
  • Dates, and whether you want a contract lift or crane hire with operator.

Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), every lifting operation has to be properly planned by a competent person, appropriately supervised and carried out safely. BS 7121, the British Standard code of practice for the safe use of cranes, sets out how that is usually done. Who does that depends on whether you book a contract lift or crane hire with operator.
