LIFT ASSURANCE AND CONSULTANCY FAQs

A lifting plan is a safety document that should be created before any lifting or slinging work takes place. The lifting plan should include the following details:

  • Risk Assessments for all lifting operations, including PPE requirements
  • Method statement detailing how the loads are to be lifted with a defined sequence of operations
  • Prevention of falls plan – identifies what safety precautions are going to be taken with the lifting operations, including fall arrest systems, work restraints and rescue plans 
  • Safe working loads – These are defined as a specific safe limit to which the deployed equipment can work to. It is important that lifting operations do not exceed these limits as it can lead to an increased risk of injury/accidents
  • Method of lifting – This needs to be detailed in the lifting plan including lifting gear requirements, lifting operation sequence, required personnel and qualifications relevant to the nature of the lift and equipment deployed


All lifting plans will be reviewed and checked by a second qualified AP and passed off before being put into action.

We can provide a qualified Appointed Person and Lifting Operations as and when required on site. This may be a full-time presence or a weekly visit to go through lifting operations on-site. We will also provide fully qualified riggers, slingers and crane supervisors where required, ensuring every lift is fully planned and implemented to the highest industry standards.

Depending on what services you require this will vary, for instance – if you are hiring a Tower Crane Under CPA Hire but require Fortis to Manage the Lifting Operations, then CPA Terms and Conditions will be shared and so will the insurance and liabilities. Please make contact to discuss the bespoke packages we can provide for your project.

We can provide all crane personnel, from a Highly Qualified Appointed Person, Lifting Operations personnel to skilled riggers, slingers, crane supervisors and machine operators. The level of personnel will depend on your project requirements.

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.
