A local job for our Bocker AK36.

We were out on CPA hire which required facia to be lifted to the top of this student accommodation building in central London.

With the help of a cherry picker this lifting duo worked perfectly in unison to position the materials and the guys in the best spot to carry out their works 😎

The nippy AK36, the smallest of our Bocker cranes, was able to manouver with ease around these tight London streets. Its light aluminium frame is a dream for city lifts!

Working on housing development sites requires careful planning due to the space available and multitude of works taking place across the project.

Safety is always key no matter what type of project we are working on, but lifting within site conditions as busy as these really does heighten the efficiency on site.

With our fleet of Bocker cranes, steel beam lifting specifically is an area they can execute efficiently and with ease. A few key advantages when it comes to crane hire and Bocker cranes include:

🟡 Compact Design for Tight Access: Ideal for urban sites or areas with restricted space, Böcker cranes can navigate and operate effectively where larger equipment cannot.

🟡 High Lifting Capacities: Despite their compact build, Böcker cranes can handle substantial loads, making them a versatile choice for projects requiring both power and precision.

🟡 Rapid Setup and Mobility: With their lightweight design and efficient deployment, Böcker cranes save valuable time on-site, enabling faster project turnaround.

🟡 Eco-Friendly Operations: Our Böcker cranes feature energy-efficient Euro 6 engines and exhaust fume cleaning with AdBlue. This reduces environmental impact while maintaining exceptional performance.

🟡 Integrated Safety Systems: These cranes include advanced safety features, ensuring stable and secure lifts under varied conditions.

Contract lifts tick a lot of boxes for our customers when it comes to crane hire, but we also offer CPA hire for our fleet of Bockers.

With a CPA hire, you are in charge! You manage everything from permits, restrictions, lift plans and safety requirements. We simply send you one of our cranes and an operator 🙂

When booking a crane for CPA hire, you are fully responsible for all eventualities which may arise. If you are well versed within the lifting industry then this may be a great option for you. However, for one off lifts and a stress free project, we would recommend a contract lift with ourselves 😎

This CPA hire for our Bocker AK52 mobile crane was at Arsenal's Emirates football ground, completing another lift for one of our lovely customers 💫

Another blue sky and another contract lift for Total Lifting Services 😎

Lifting a steel beam for a new build home in London of course has its own set of safety and restriction guidelines. We first must establish a suitable place to set up, along with assessing any surrounding obstacles such as overhead power lines, trees, load and final placement distance, etc.

Our Bocker crane AK46 was perfect for this project due to its extended reach. With this benefit it was able to move and position this steel beam without needing to reposition itself 🏗️

With our depot now located in Basildon and a stones throw away from the A127, we are in prime position to assist lifts across the whole of London as well as our home counties.

For your crane hire needs, please do get in touch with a member of our team!

Our Liebherr Construction LTM 1060-3.1 and its lifting strength were required in South London to lift these ornate pieces onto the top of a temple.

We completed this project under a full contract lift, managing all site visits, plans, lifting and safety requirements, leaving our customer in completely capable hands for their crane hire needs.

Due to the weight of these finishing touches, our LTM 1060-3.1 was sent in. With the ability to lift a substantial amount of weight compared to our solid fleet of aluminium framed Bocker cranes, the 60t is a superb machine to be able to have on offer.

Having machines which offer incredible reach, agility and strength, means we can complete a huge scope of projects for all of your needs.

We're proud to offer our customers professional contract lifting services.

With years of experience under our belts, our solutions paired with excellent customer services are reasons for us to be proud of blowing our own trumpets! 🎺

Our comprehensive contract lifting solutions ensure every lift is carefully planned and managed safely from start to finish, giving you complete piece of mind.

Just as our Bocker AK36 in London here, we handle large and heavy items that are difficult to lift. Manoeuvering this one tonne digger and materials to the rear of a property for a landscaping, followed by multiple return visits lifting trees is a prime example of our expertise ✨

Due to the variety of sites and lift heights required within the crane game, there are a lot of elements we have to consider when it comes to restrictions.

Anything from lifting near railways, overhead power lines, public highways, and night time and conservation restrictions. To top that off there's the constant checking of wind and weather conditions which come with the UK ⛈️

For this project, our Bocker AK52 was working at a London airport which required CAA permits and ceiling height working due to the planes coming and going 🛫

As airspace is tightly controlled, projects near flight paths may require a Temporary Obstacle Notice (TON) and prior approval from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which we had in place!

This project was part of an extension for the airport hotel, and the AK52 was erecting steels for the framework.

Should you find you require lifting services in a tricky spot, please get in touch and we can help with any questions 🫡

A sunny weekend for glass lifting! ☀️
Which is handy considering this window is a skylight 😎

The Bocker AK46 and its lifting radius make it a match made in heaven for this specific project.

The location of the lift also means our bocker cranes can safely tuck themselves down and into some of the most confined spaces to get to work 🏗️

A lightweight aluminium chassis ensures minimal impact to any surfaces a bocker sets up on. This means a quicker turnaround for our customer rather than extensive site visits and paperwork to check for any issues before the lift takes place.

This project in spring brought us to Kent, just a short stint up the road for us 🫡

Our Liebherr LTM1060 3.1 was out in the Kent countryside bright and early, lifting a 1.7t swimming pool into the rear garden of our customers home.

With the addition of Aluexbeams to ensure we raised the pool without causing damage from the straps, it was in place in no time ready to be enjoyed during the amazing summer we have just had ☀️

Our lifting services include a variety of requirements regarding reach and weight, and that is when our Liebherr 60t ticks all the boxes!
