Operated hire
You don’t need to know how to drive a spider crane. You need the load in the right place, safely, on the day you booked. That’s what we sell.
Two ways to book
Booking lengths
Every job is different, so we quote each one. Tell us what you’re lifting and we’ll come back with a fixed price, not an hourly guess.
Up to 4 hours on site. Perfect for a single unit or a few panels.
Up to 8 hours on site. Our most popular booking.
Weekly and project rates for glazing packages, frames and fit-outs.
How it works
Weight, size, where it’s going and a photo of the access. Use the form or ring us. We reply the same working day.
We check the load chart, the route and the ground, visit the site if we need to, and help put the lift plan together.
Delivered, tracked into position through the access and levelled on its outriggers in minutes.
Our operator works to your team on the radio remote. Loads go down gently and exactly where you want them.
Before you call
Have these to hand and we can usually confirm the lift on the first call. Photos of the access route are worth a thousand measurements.
Postcode, parking and where we can unload.
Weight, dimensions and lifting points, or a spec sheet.
Distance and height from where the crane can stand.
Narrowest width and lowest headroom on the route in.
Suspended floors, cellars, drains, soft or sloping ground.
If we’re running electric, where we can plug in.
Coverage
Based in Hampshire, lifting across Southern England. Travel is built into the quote. There are no surprises on the invoice.
Questions
The Jekko SPX532.2 CDH, delivery and collection, and one of our trained crane operators to set up and run it. We supply RAMS for the crane and can help with your lift plan. If you’d rather hand the whole thing over, ask about a fully managed contract lift.
With tracks closed the crane is 770 mm wide and 1,990 mm high, so it passes through an 800 mm clear opening with 2 m of headroom. Try the access checker on our home page. It weighs 2,657 kg, so let us know about floors, cellars, drains or soft ground on the way in and we’ll check them.
Yes. The CDH is bi-energy: an 18.5 kW Kubota diesel for outdoor work and an electric power pack for 100% electric, emission-free running indoors. Just give us a suitable power supply.
Up to 3,200 kg close in and up to 17.0 m tip height with the hydraulic jib. Capacity drops as radius increases, so send us the weight and the distance from where the crane can stand and we’ll check it against the load chart.
A week’s notice is ideal, especially for anything that needs a site visit. Short-notice lifts are often possible, so call and ask.
The site address, what you are lifting (weight and size), where it needs to go, and any access restrictions. Photos of the access route and set-up area help a lot. You can attach them when we reply.
Next step
Send us the weight, the distance and a photo of the access. We’ll tell you straight whether it’ll go.
