The right machine, people and plan
Mobile telescopic, city and tower cranes supported by experienced operators, lift planners and technical services - available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Mobilised around the job
Bronzeshield operates from the South East with a modern fleet of all terrain, city class and mobile tower cranes, supported by transport, planning and directly employed qualified personnel.
Cranes up to and including 130 tonnes can often be mobilised within three hours. Larger cranes require additional notice because configuration and counterweight movements must be planned correctly.

What the hire desk will ask
What information is needed for an initial crane enquiry?
Start with the load weight and size, lift location, approximate radius, required height, access constraints and the date or working window.
How quickly can a crane be mobilised?
The current site states that cranes up to and including 130 tonnes can often be mobilised within three hours. Larger machines need more notice because counterweight and configuration transport must be arranged, this is also dependent on vehicle movement notifications.
What is the difference between contract lift and CPA Hire?
On a Contract Lift we will carry out a site inspection and produce the method statement and risk assessment and supply the lifting team on the day. On a CPA hire we will work to the Method Statement supplied by you, under the direction of your Appointed persons instructions and you will supply competent staff on the day. Contact us for full details of both.
