Crane Hire FAQs

It depends on the hire requirements. The insurance responsibility will differ depending if you hire a crane under CPA Hire or Contract Lift. We can advise on options and ensure you are fully ensured before carrying out a lifting operation

Under CPA we will provide a competent operator on all cranes, CPA Hire puts the responsibility on the hirer and you will need to supply an Appointed Person to plan and document the lift as well as a crane Supervisor and Slinger. They will need to follow the plan, attach and detach loads and direct them safely. If you require an Appointed Person we will supply the Appointed Person and carry out all work under contract lift conditions. 

Learn more about our Contract Lift Service.

Not for single crane hire. Under the CPA’s rules, for crane hire, the responsibility for creating risk assessment and method statement lies with the hirer. You are also responsible for complying with BS7121 and LOLER. (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998). If you would like us to provide risk assessments or method statements, please find out about our Contract Lifting Service here.

As the hirer you will also:

  • Plan the lift 
  • Select a suitable model of crane (although we can advise you if you need guidance)
  • Be responsible for slinging and signalling
  • Providing an Appointed Person
  • Provide Hired in Plant Insurance to cover any damage to the crane

We engaged with Fortis to assist with positioning of condensers in central Birmingham, from the moment we met their lifting specialist we knew we had the right team. Nothing was too much trouble, they provided solutions to overcome problems and were professional throughout. We would certainly recommend them to others.

Fortis Heavy Lift have been a trusted partner to Multi-Temp for a number of years now and have carried out multiple contract crane lifts for us, without any issues or stress. They really do take the pressure off what can be a very complicated part of Project Management. Their entire team are very professional and would recommend them to anyone.
Dave PowellMulti -Temp (UK) Ltd
Fortis Heavy Lift supported us on a recent project by providing lifting and assembly services in order to allow us to demonstrate to our customer our equipment in operation. We decided to use the services of Fortis Heavy Lift because of the industry knowledge and experience of Ben Holliday. The project was carried out over five months utilising mobile cranes and involved lifting sub-assemblies weighing up to eighty tonnes. Their ability to plan and execute complicated lifting operations at short notice enabled us to complete our project on time. Fortis Heavy Lift’s ability to achieve the accuracy and alignment necessary for our equipment’s assembly was beyond our expectations. We have been very pleased with their work on this project and plan to continue to work together on future projects.
Gavin SherwoodJoy Global
Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for the no trouble, no hassle service that you have provided to this very challenging project. Your approach has enabled me to concentrate on other matters.
Steve HollinsBowmer & Kirkland
The Fortis guys were extremely professional they arriving on site early so that all works could be done in the allotted time. The access and equipment which had been chosen was exactly what was needed due to the height of the doors etc. We helped each other with the lifting / replacement of the units which had the extra headache from the handrail which was not taken down as per the sites requirements & the fact the flue system could not be taken away due to only having support at high level. If we are to do any lifting on future jobs then i would suggest we definitely get a quote from Fortis.
Trevor FageNortek Global HVAC
Everything was fantastic, thank you for all your help getting it all sorted after the confusion. The guys who came to site were brilliant, after weeks and weeks of worry you guys sorted the problem within an hour! If I ever require a crane again or know someone who does would not hesitate to recommend you. Thank you all so much.
