What Mechanical Lifting Equipment Do You Need?
The load leads: weight, size, lifting points, and destination point to the equipment, while access width, height, floor, and space settle whether it is a compact crane, material lift, floor crane, or attachment.
For glass and cladding, glazing robots and vacuum lifters fit; spider and mini cranes get where big machines cannot; floor cranes and material lifts take machinery, motors, and components in workshops and plant rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mechanical Lifting Equipment Hire in Reading, Berkshire
What types of mechanical lifting equipment can I hire?
The range includes glazing robots, vacuum lifters, spider cranes, mini cranes, floor cranes, material lifts, spreader beams, chains, and strops. The right equipment depends on the load, access, working height, and site conditions.
Can mechanical lifting equipment be used on restricted-access sites?

Is operated hire available?
Yes. Operated hire can be arranged with experienced personnel where required, and lift planning and RAMS documentation may be provided for more complex operations.
How do I prepare my site before the lifting equipment arrives in Reading?
Clear the access route, check the ground or floor conditions, and make sure the lifting area is ready. Look out for overhead cables, trees, underground services, low doorways, and restrictions that could affect delivery or operation. 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.
