Lift Planning in Godstone, Surrey
Safe, Compliant Planning for Every Lift
Every lift that uses a crane needs a lift plan — that is the law, not a suggestion. Coppard prepare site-specific lift plans and RAMS documentation across Godstone, Surrey, so the operation is assessed properly before equipment reaches site.
Lift planning support across Godstone, Surrey makes sure lifting operations are assessed before equipment arrives on site. Choose the wrong crane position, radius, or rigging setup and the job can stall before the load leaves the ground. For lift planning near me in Godstone, Coppard prepare site-specific plans and RAMS for your project.
What Lift Planning Support Do You Need?
Start with the load. Its weight, dimensions, lifting points, and final position shape the crane, accessories, and working radius. The access route, setup area, ground conditions, and nearby obstructions all have to be considered before equipment is chosen.
Some projects need a straightforward plan for a single lift; restricted-access, glazing, structural steel, and complex operations may need a fuller site survey and lifting method. Coppard help identify the level of planning required before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lift Planning in Godstone, Surrey
Do I need a lift plan for a small lifting project?
A lift should be planned around the load, equipment, and site conditions before work begins. Residential steelwork, glazing, roof trusses, and other smaller projects may still need a documented plan where the operation presents risks.
What information is included in a lift plan?
A lift plan may include the load weight and dimensions, crane position, lifting radius, rigging arrangement, ground conditions, access restrictions, exclusion zones, and the lifting sequence. The detail depends on how complex the project is.
Can you provide RAMS documentation with the lift plan?
Yes. Site-specific RAMS documentation can be prepared alongside the lift plan where required, setting out the risks, control measures, method of work, and responsibilities of the lifting team.
What information should I provide before lift planning begins in Godstone?
Provide the load weight and dimensions, the pick and placement positions, access details, ground conditions, and any known overhead or underground restrictions. Site photographs, drawings, and the project postcode help identify issues before the plan is prepared. The Health and Safety Executive sets out guidance on planning lifting operations.
