Get a crane directly from Thanet Crane Hire in Lewisham.
You have two options for your rental needs: just the crane or our contract lifting service.
If you choose crane rental only, you’ll receive a modern, well-maintained crane and a CPCS-certified operator. However, you’ll need to handle all aspects of the lifting operation yourself, including planning and execution.
As a rental-only client, you’re also in charge of site safety, ground conditions, and arranging your own insurance coverage.
For more details on how crane rental only differs from our contract lifting service, check out our handy guide.
Let Thanet Crane Hire handle every aspect of your lifting project in Lewisham, from planning to execution.
Kick off by scheduling a contract lift with us. This includes a detailed site inspection by a CPCS-certified Appointed Person (AP), who will recommend the best and most cost-effective crane and team for your lift, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Our contract lift service includes CAD (computer-aided design) schematics that show the crane’s configuration at your site, along with a complete Risk Assessment and Method Statement.
With our extensive experience in lifting operations, we can manage complex access challenges and recommend any additional equipment your project may require. For example, we’ll assess ground conditions to advise on the need for matting to support the crane’s stabilisers.
All of our lifting personnel are:
- CPCS qualified
- Trained in Working At Height
- Trained in RF Awareness
- Pursuing NVQ qualifications
