Lifting services, crane hire and rental in Crowborough, East Sussex provide complete support for projects that need more than equipment alone. Whether you need to hire a crane with an operator, arrange a contract lift or rent specialist lifting equipment, we’ll recommend the right solution for your load, access and site conditions. Call 01892 662 777.
What Lifting Service Do You Need?
Start with the load. Its weight, dimensions, lifting points and final position all affect the crane, lifting accessories and working radius required. Access routes, ground conditions, overhead cables and nearby buildings must also be considered before equipment is selected.
Some projects only need operated crane hire, while others require a complete contract lift with a site survey, lift plan, RAMS documentation and supervision. Restricted-access work may need a spider crane or mini crane, while heavier structural lifts may require a mobile, crawler or rough terrain crane.
The best approach is to call 01892 662 777 before you book.
Our Lifting Service Range
Our lifting services cover structural steel, roof trusses, glazing, plant equipment, modular buildings, machinery and specialist construction loads. We can provide mobile cranes, spider cranes, mini cranes, crawler cranes and other equipment matched to the site and lifting requirements.
Operated hire includes a qualified operator, while a contract lift provides a fully managed service from planning through to completion. Spreader beams, lifting chains, strops, vacuum lifters and glazing equipment can also be supplied where required.
Tell us what you are lifting and we’ll recommend the right equipment and service.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lifting Services in Crowborough, East Sussex
Do you carry out a site assessment before the lift?
Yes. A site assessment may be completed before equipment is selected or delivered. Access width, ground conditions, working radius, overhead hazards and the available setup area are reviewed so the correct crane and lifting method can be planned.
What is the difference between operated hire and a contract lift?
Operated hire provides the crane and a qualified operator, while your team remains responsible for planning and supervising the lift. A contract lift places responsibility for the lift plan, RAMS documentation, crane selection, operator and supervision with the contract lift provider.
Do your crane operators hold current CPCS cards?
Yes. Operators supplied for crane work hold the appropriate current CPCS qualification for the equipment being used. Relevant inspection and examination records are also provided for the crane and lifting equipment where required.
How do I prepare my site before the lifting team arrives?
Before the lifting team arrives, make sure the access route is clear, the ground conditions are suitable and the landing area is ready for the load. Check for overhead cables, trees, underground services and any restrictions that could affect crane movement or setup. Site photographs, load details and the project postcode can help identify potential issues before mobilisation. The Health and Safety Executive provides guidance on planning lifting operations, which is useful when preparing your site and assessing lifting risks. If you’re unsure what information is needed, Coppard’s Crowborough team can help you prepare before the lift.
