Keep things simple

Installing heavy machinery involves complex planning and management. Coordinating crane rentals, equipment deliveries, and other factors becomes especially challenging when multiple contractors are involved.

Opting for our heavy machinery installation service consolidates project management under one team. We efficiently handle equipment loading and unloading, coordinate crane logistics, and ensure timely delivery of materials through a single contractor.

This streamlined approach saves time, cuts costs, and simplifies the entire process for you.

CONTRACT LIFTING FAQs

Heavy machinery installations include the setup and assembly of machinery, equipment, and infrastructure essential for operating a manufacturing or production facility.

If needed, we can provide an Appointed Person and conduct all operations under contract lift conditions. Alternatively, if you already have an Appointed Person to draft lifting and handling plans and only require equipment and labour hire, we can supply them under CPA conditions.

Our Machine Moving Services are always conducted under Contract Lift Conditions, which include comprehensive insurance coverage for the goods lifted and handled, as well as liability insurance. If you require only equipment and labour, we can provide this for you. However, you must arrange for plant and liability insurance and provide an Appointed Person and supervision.

All our equipment is operated by highly qualified personnel. If you have your own rigging team and Appointed Person, we can carry out the work according to your plan and under your supervision. Alternatively, we can supply all necessary equipment, labour, an Appointed Person, and lift planning if needed.

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.

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.
