Lift Planning in Brighton, East Sussex

The law requires a lift plan for every crane lift. Coppard prepare site-specific plans and RAMS documentation across Brighton, East Sussex, assessing the whole operation before equipment arrives on site.
Lift planning in Brighton, East Sussex means the operation is assessed before any equipment turns up. Get the crane position, radius, or rigging wrong and the lift is held up before it begins. If you need lift planning near me in Brighton, Coppard prepare site-specific plans and RAMS.
What Lift Planning Support Do You Need?
It starts with the load’s weight, dimensions, lifting points, and final position, which set the crane and radius. Access, setup area, ground conditions, and nearby obstructions are all weighed before equipment is chosen.
Some lifts need only a concise plan, others — restricted access, glazing, structural steel, complex work — need a full survey and method. Coppard help set the level of planning before the job begins.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lift Planning in Brighton, East Sussex
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 Brighton?
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.
