Rent a crane directly from Thanet Crane Hire in Swanley.
We provide two rental options: crane rental exclusively or our full contract lifting service.
With crane rental only, you’ll get access to a high-quality crane and a CPCS-certified operator. However, you’ll need to handle the entire lifting process, including its planning and execution.
As a rental-only client, you are responsible for all safety procedures, addressing ground conditions, and arranging your own insurance.
To learn more about the differences between crane rental only and our contract lifting service, please refer to our concise guide.
Turn to Thanet Crane Hire for expert contract lifting in Swanley. We’ll oversee your project from beginning to end.
Begin by scheduling a contract lift, which includes a site assessment by a CPCS-certified Appointed Person (AP). The AP will advise on the most effective crane and team for your lift, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Our service features CAD (computer-aided design) schematics that show the crane’s positioning and operation at your location, as well as a complete Risk Assessment and Method Statement.
We excel in handling complex lifting challenges and can provide additional equipment or matting if required. We’ll evaluate the ground conditions to ensure proper support for the crane’s stabilisers.
