subject: Crane Hire In Devon. [print this page] With a wide range of terrains, from the Moors of Dartmoor and Exmoor, the north and south shores, the vast highway and train network and the city environments typified by Exeter and Plymouth, there are lots of crane hire and lifting factors to deal with.
One of the premier corporations providing Crane Hire in Devon is SWCH (South West Crane Hire) who have been delivering lifting and moving solutions to businesses and people in the Devon and South West area for many years.
For businesses and residents of the south west, with its narrow streets and lanes it's vital that when deciding upon a Mobile crane hire business, they consider one that knows the regional area well to ensure the incidents where large cranes get jammed in small lanes or even driveways do not take place.
South West Crane Hire operates from six depots located across the south west including Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Bristol. All staffed by local people with comprehensive awareness of the surrounding areas. To ensure that the right equipment is dispatched for every job and that all safety factors of lifting and moving large objects are attended to in advance, a location survey of the area, access to it along with the measurements of the item concerned are made.
There are numerous instances of difficult and unusual Crane Lifts that have been carried out over the years. Items such as Hot Tubs, long arm lifted and deposited into residential gardens, Boats and Yachts picked up and transported by Mobile HIAB trucks along with the picking up of de-railed trains and heavy goods vehicles when accidents have happened on Devons rail and road network.
Devon has one of the biggest road networks in the UK and is the only county in England with 2 separate coastlines, much of which is reached by way of small narrow and single lane roads.
These objects to be lifted all have vastly unique dimensions and weights and access to each lift point will also differ. It's not the dead weight of the item to be lifted that is the main factor as to which Crane needs to be used. The distance between the Mobile Crane and the object is also a major factor and can significantly affect the type of crane put into service to do the pick up and transport.
Having a broad range of Mobile Cranes, HIABs and Flat bed lorries, SWCH possess the diversity of lifting resources necessary to do all the tasks they deal with in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset and right across the South West of the UK.
Another significant factor is the standard of staff. Practical experience is usually a great benefit when handling tricky lifting situations and a great number of the SWCH staff have been there, seen it, done it and when they haven't they know the best method of working out the best response.
Slingers, Banksmen, Crane Operators and Customer support Staff who all have one thing in mind making sure that when deciding on Crane Hire in Devon, the best possible service is delivered.
