From call to sign-off
How a lift comes together
Every job starts on paper. Here's what happens between your call and a load landing safely.
- 01
Plan
A free site inspection and CAD lift plan map the access, the radius, the load path and the exclusion zone.
- 02
Set up
The crane arrives on schedule, outriggers go out on pads sized to the ground, and the boom is raised to the pick.
- 03
Lift
Our dogman slings the load and directs the operator. It's hoisted clear, then travels to the set-down point to plan.
- 04
Land & sign off
The load is landed and unslung, the crew packs down, and the site is left as we found it.
Working with ELS
Built for the way contractors work
Builders, civil contractors and facility teams need a lifting partner who turns up prepared, works safely and gets out of the way. That's the job.
Planned before we mobilise
Free site inspections and CAD lift planning mean the machine, the set-up and the lift are worked out before anything rolls onto site.
One call, one team
Access equipment, cranes, transport and crews coordinated together, so you're not chasing three suppliers.
Qualified crews
Licensed crane operators, dogmen and riggers who work to your site rules, inductions and paperwork.
Safety in the paperwork
Lift plans and safety documentation prepared for your site requirements, ready to review and approve.
Logistics handled
Delivery, collection and staged movements timed to your programme, not ours.
Straight answers
If the job needs a bigger machine, a different set-up or more planning, we'll tell you upfront.
