What Lift Planning Support Do You Need?
Start with the load. Its weight, dimensions, lifting points and final position will affect the crane, lifting accessories and working radius required. The access route, setup area, ground conditions and nearby obstructions must also be considered before equipment is selected.
Some projects need a straightforward plan for a single lift, while restricted-access, glazing, structural steel and specialist lifting operations may require a more detailed site survey and lifting method. Our team will help identify the level of planning required before work begins.
The best approach is to call 01892 662 777 before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lift Planning in Crowborough, 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 require a documented plan where the lifting 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 exact detail depends on the complexity of the project.
Can you provide RAMS documentation with the lift plan?
Yes. Site-specific RAMS documentation can be prepared alongside the lift plan where required. This helps set out the risks, control measures, method of work and responsibilities of the lifting team.
What information should I provide before lift planning begins?
Provide the load weight and dimensions, pick and placement positions, access details, ground conditions and any known overhead or underground restrictions. Site photographs, drawings and the project postcode can also help identify potential issues before the plan is prepared. The Health and Safety Executive provides guidance on planning lifting operations, which is useful when assessing lifting risks and preparing site information. If you’re unsure what details are needed, Coppard’s Crowborough team can help you get the planning process started.
