Structural Roof Truss Placement on Tight Residential Infill

Residential Construction Whitstable, Kent

Structural Roof Truss Placement on Tight Residential Infill

Contract Lift & Long Reach Hiab

Weight 1.2t per bundle

Max Radius 22 Metres

Vehicle 32t 8x2 Long Reach Hiab

Turnaround Half-day setup & lift

The Challenge

A new-build coastal property required multiple pre-fabricated timber roof trusses lifted over a 2-storey existing residence into a narrow rear building plot. Overhead residential telephone lines and zero road closure availability on a busy residential street prevented static mobile crane setup.

The Solution

We deployed our 32t 8x2 long-reach unit equipped with multi-stage hydraulic fly-jib extensions. Our Appointed Person produced full BS7121 lift calculations, utilising dual-padded slings and stabilizing outriggers on the tight street footprint without blocking emergency access.

The Outcome

All truss bundles were lifted, rotated, and placed directly onto wall plates in under 4 hours, allowing the carpentry contractors to secure the roof structure ahead of impending coastal weather.

Critical Logistics & Container Relocation for Border Force

Government / Infrastructure Port of Ramsgate, Kent

Critical Logistics & Container Relocation for Border Force

Specialist Haulage & Contract Lifting

Weight Up to 9.5t per unit

Max Radius 12 Metres

Vehicle Articulated Lorry & Rigid Hiab

Turnaround Same-day urgent dispatch

The Challenge

UK Border Force required urgent repositions and haulage of heavy modular secure offices and processing accommodation within an active port terminal operating under tight maritime security restrictions.

The Solution

Coordinating directly with port authority marshals, our certified operators performed precision lifts using rigid crane units and multi-wheel transport beds. All personnel held full site safety accreditations and Chapter 8 road compliance.

The Outcome

All units were decommissioned from their original footings, loaded, transported across the terminal, and leveled on fresh concrete pads with zero disruption to port vehicle traffic.

4-Tonne Cruiser Yacht Extraction & Relocation

Marine Lift & Transport

Weight 4.2 Tonnes

Max Radius 14 Metres

Vehicle Heavy Rigid Hiab + Custom Cradle

Turnaround Full-day contract

The Challenge

Lifting a high-value cruiser yacht out of a tidal harbor hardstanding area with steep gradient ramps and delicate gelcoat hull vulnerabilities.

The Solution

Utilised wide-spread heavy-duty webbing lifting strops with spreader beams to eliminate crushing pressure against the gunwales. The vessel was lifted directly from the quay onto a specialized transport cradle fixed to our lorry flatbed.

The Outcome

Safe transit and drop-off to the winter boatyard storage bay with hull integrity completely preserved and zero tidal delays.

Vehicle 32t Lorry Mounted Hiab

Turnaround 1 Day Operation

The Challenge

Relocating an industrial bunded diesel fuel storage tank from a decommissioned yard to a modern agricultural facility for FGS Westerham, maneuvering beneath low-hanging warehouse eaves.

The Solution

Conducted an advance site assessment to calculate center of gravity and outrigger ground-bearing pressures. Employed articulating boom knuckles to extract the vessel horizontally before hoisting clear.

The Outcome

The tank was hauled to the new site, positioned within a secondary containment bund, and aligned for pump plumbing within the allotted time window.
