Lifting services and crane hire in Brighton, East Sussex handle projects needing more than equipment. Whether it is an operated crane, a contract lift, or non-standard rental, Coppard match the solution to your load and conditions. If you need a lifting service near me in Brighton, the depot can advise.
What Lifting Service Do You Need?
It starts with the load: weight, dimensions, lifting points, and destination all influence the crane and working radius. Access routes, ground conditions, and overhead hazards are weighed up before equipment is chosen.
Some lifts need just an operated crane, others a managed contract lift with survey, plan, RAMS, and supervision. Spider and mini cranes handle tight access; mobile, crawler, and rough terrain cranes take the heavier structural work.
Our Lifting Service Range
The service spans structural steel, roof trusses, glazing, plant equipment, modular buildings, and machinery, with mobile, spider, mini, and crawler cranes matched to the site and the lift.
Operated hire supplies the operator; a contract lift covers planning through completion. Spreader beams, lifting chains, strops, vacuum lifters, and glazing equipment can all be supplied as required. To view the range, see the lifting equipment collection. This service sits under Crane Service in Brighton.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lifting Service in Brighton, 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 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 stays responsible for planning and supervising the lift. A contract lift places the lift plan, RAMS, crane selection, operator, and supervision with Coppard.
Do your crane operators hold current CPCS cards?
Yes. Operators supplied for crane work hold the appropriate current CPCS qualification for the equipment in use. Relevant inspection and examination records are provided for the crane and lifting equipment where required.
How do I prepare my site before the lifting team arrives in Brighton?
Clear the access route, check the ground conditions, and make sure the landing area is ready for the load. Look out for overhead cables, trees, underground services, and restrictions that could affect crane movement or setup. Site photographs, load details, and the project postcode help identify issues before mobilisation. The Health and Safety Executive sets out guidance on planning lifting operations.
