Contract Lifting Service
Why Choose Our Contract Lift Services?
At RS French, we offer comprehensive contract lifts where we take full responsibility for planning, managing, and executing your lifting operation from start to finish. Unlike a standard crane hire where the client manages the lift, our HIAB crane hire and lorry-mounted crane services are ideal for clients who don’t have the necessary expertise, certification, or insurance to plan and oversee lifting operations themselves. With RS French, you will receive a complete lifting solution from our expert team – saving you time, reducing risk, and ensuring full compliance with health and safety regulations.
We offer a turnkey solution tailored to your site and load requirements, including site visits and lift assessments, detailed lifting plans, traffic management and a full team of certified professionals.
With our contract lift service, you can be confident that your lifting operation is in safe, experienced hands. Whether you’re lifting plant equipment, construction materials, or modular units, we ensure the lift is carried out safely, efficiently, and in compliance with LOLER and BS 7121 standards.

We manage all logistics related to the lift including, parking bay suspensions and exemptions, road closures and temporary trackway installation for ground protection and stability.
