Back
As you know, when it comes to planning your project, preparation is everything. At Ainscough, we understand the complexities involved in lifting operations and the critical role that timing plays in the success of your project. Engaging with us early in your planning process can bring significant advantages, from considerable cost savings to smoother operations and timely project delivery.
Early engagement allows us to utilise our modern, efficient cranes and industry-leading technology to their maximum potential – meaning fewer, smaller cranes, which saves you money, reduces emissions, and optimises space on-site.
Ultimately, early engagement helps keep projects running smoothly, ensuring your personnel remain productive.
Enhanced Planning
Our team will collaborate with you to plan the hire, including arranging a site visit to assess the specific requirements and challenges of your operation. Early involvement also enables us to tailor our service offering effectively, ensuring that you receive the best equipment, expertise, and pricing for your project.
Digital Design
With early engagement on a project, Ainscough can utilise state-of-the-art computer-based 3D lift planning software. This allows us to accurately forecast crane positioning and make design decisions at the earliest opportunity, enabling us to formulate the most efficient blueprint for your lift.

Comprehensive Options
One of the standout benefits of early engagement is the ability to quote for and deliver a full contract lift service. With a contract lift, Ainscough takes responsibility for the entirety of the crane operations, from planning and risk assessments to executing the lift. This not only reduces your administrative burden but may also help lower overall costs by streamlining operations and avoiding unexpected expenses.
Streamlined Project Delivery
Time is money in any industry, and delays can often be costly. By working with Ainscough early, we can anticipate and mitigate potential challenges that could derail your timeline. These challenges can vary, from bureaucratic red tape to access restrictions. Our proactive planning ensures that your project is delivered on time, or even ahead of schedule, without compromising safety or quality.
Travel Regulations
Complying with travel regulations is a detailed and time-sensitive process. The Road Vehicles (Authorisation of Special Types) (General) Order 2003 outlines a complex set of regulations that must be considered when organising the movement of cranes throughout the UK. Early engagement allows us to navigate this process seamlessly, ensuring that all legal and logistical requirements are met so that your project timeline stays on track.
