Lifting Service in Melksham, Wiltshire
Planned Lifting for Every Site and Load
A straightforward lift gets complicated fast on a tight, sloping, or soft-ground site. Coppard plan lifting services across Melksham, Wiltshire to suit the load and the access, from operated crane hire through to a full contract lift.
In Melksham, Wiltshire, lifting services and crane hire go beyond equipment alone. Operated crane hire, a full contract lift, or non-standard gear on rent — Coppard recommend the right route for your load, access, and site. For a lifting service near me in Melksham, call the team.
What Lifting Service Do You Need?
Begin with what you are lifting and where it goes. Weight, dimensions, lifting points, and final position set the crane and accessories, while access, ground, overhead cables, and surrounding structures shape the setup.
Operated crane hire suits some jobs; others need the full contract lift — survey, lift plan, RAMS, and supervision. Restricted sites lean on spider or mini cranes, and heavier lifts on mobile, crawler, or rough terrain machines.
Our Lifting Service Range
Structural steel, roof trusses, glazing, plant, modular buildings, machinery, and non-standard loads all fall within the service, backed by mobile, spider, mini, and crawler cranes to suit the job.
With operated hire you get a qualified operator, and with a contract lift the whole operation is managed end to end. Spreader beams, chains, strops, vacuum lifters, and glazing equipment are available too. To view the range, see the lifting equipment collection. This service sits under Crane Service in Melksham.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lifting Service in Melksham, Wiltshire
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 Melksham?
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.
