Reliable Lifting Solutions:
Welcome to Onshore Cranes
In the fast-paced world of UK construction and infrastructure, your project’s success depends on precision, safety, and the right equipment.
At Onshore Cranes, we specialise in providing comprehensive lifting solutions tailored to meet the demands of modern industry. From small-scale residential builds to massive industrial installations, our fleet and expertise ensure your heavy lifting is handled with absolute professionalism.
When you partner with us, you gain access to a team of highly trained professionals, including Appointed Persons (AP), Crane Supervisors, and Slinger Signallers. Every lift is preceded by a rigorous Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS), ensuring that potential hazards are identified and mitigated long before the hook leaves the ground.
Safety and Compliance at the Forefront
Safety isn't just a buzzword at Onshore Cranes—it is our operating philosophy. All our operations adhere strictly to BS 7121 (The Safe Use of Cranes) and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER).

What is the difference between CPA Hire and a Contract Lift?
In CPA Hire, the customer provides the operator and insurance, taking full responsibility for the lift. In a Contract Lift, Onshore Cranes manages the entire process, including the Appointed Person, insurance, and method statements.
Do you provide site visits before a hire?
Yes. We highly recommend a technical site survey to assess ground stability, access routes, and overhead obstructions to ensure the correct crane is specified.
Are your operators fully certified?
Absolutely. All our operators hold valid CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) cards and undergo regular safety training.
What areas of the UK do you cover?
We offer national coverage across the UK. Please contact our head office to discuss mobilization to your specific location.
Can you assist with road closures for crane setups?
Yes, as part of our contract lifting service, we can liaise with local authorities to arrange necessary permits and traffic management.
