From vintage aircraft for museums, to simulators and steelworks for construction.
Nothing is too much trouble for our experienced, trusted team and we are happy to act as consultants on your project as well as put it all into action with you.
You can trust us to lift and move virtually anything, across the UK.
We have a range of cranes and complementary equipment to suit your needs, quickly, professionally and safely, and being based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, we are ideally situated for the UK’s main link roads, including the A1 near Bedford.
Because using a crane is a high-risk activity, it’s paramount that we are familiar with the responsibilities, duties and risks involved with every lift, on behalf of our customers.
If you’re not confident about all the responsibilities of a CPA standard lift, we can arrange a CPA contract lift and take away all the considerable hassles associated with a crane lift.
We’d love to help, so if you have any questions about our crane hire service and how we can support your project, please get in touch today.
Out-of-the-ordinary movements are our every day! From abnormal loads and road closures to designated routing or the provision of standard and police escorts.
And all legal, insurance, and health and safety regulations are handled by our team, with the provision of method statements, risk assessments and lifting plans.
On a regular basis we move:
It’s hard to find a more experienced, motivated team to help you with your move. Why not get in touch?
We run a specialised fleet of loaders and crane trailers, with individual lifting capacity from 1 tonne to 11.5 tonnes, saving our customers the time and money of having to hire three separate pieces of equipment to load, move and then unload their freight.
Our highly versatile pieces of equipment are able to manoeuvre heavy and awkward objects into and out of tight or restricted spaces. With a reach of 17 metres on our newest, custom built, UK-unique crane trailer, there aren’t many places we can’t reach.
This includes STGO Cat 1 Class vehicles with a gross weight capacity of 50 tonnes.
Whether your need is industrial, commercial, residential or military we can provide you with an exceptional lifting and moving solution for the heaviest items.
There are very few teams of people across the UK who share our experience and talent for moving extraordinary cargo. When you partner with us you gain access to a wealth of expertise and a team who love what they do.
We have a deep understanding of the unique demands of transporting special loads and can ensure every aspect of your shipment is handled with extreme care and precision.
It doesn’t stop at transport; we are experienced at complete site moves. From survey and uninstallation, to lifting, moving and reinstalling we can consult, manage and execute the whole project- that’s why we pride ourselves on “One Move Made Easy”!
From process, to vehicles, to packaging and paperwork, we’re here to support you in your move.
We manage all forms of specialist and abnormal load movements, including heavy, wide, fragile, or high-value items. Typical projects include industrial machinery, laboratory and scientific equipment, vehicles, boats, aircraft components, and structural materials. Our team oversees every step – from planning and lifting to transport and installation.
Operating from St Ives and Duxford in Cambridgeshire, we deliver specialist transport and lifting services across the UK. Our fleet of crane trailers, lorry loaders, low-loaders, and escort vehicles allows us to handle projects locally, regionally, or nationwide with precision.
Depending on the load’s dimensions and route, permits or escorts may be required. Our experienced team handles all planning, police liaison, and permit applications, ensuring every move meets STGO and road safety regulations.
Yes. We provide full crane hire and contract lifting support through Welch Group’s in-house fleet of 20t-60t mobile cranes. All lifting operations are carried out by CPCS-qualified operators and supported by complete lift planning and risk assessments.
