Digger placement in a confined courtyard

Surrey

Digger placement in a confined courtyard

12 May 2026/0 Comments/in Case Studies/by JDevadmin321

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

  • 100t crane deployed
  • 0° slewing during the lift
  • Full CAD modelling before mobilisation

Access was blocked on all sides by existing structures. Before the crane could be brought in, structural alterations were required to open up a working position.
Once on site, uneven ground meant setting up on variable outrigger configurations with timber packing to achieve a safe, level base.

With no slewing capability during the lift, the crane had to be in exactly the right position before the load was picked. There was no room to adjust once we were underway. Every element was planned and modelled in CAD in advance, confirming the lift was feasible before a single piece of equipment arrived on site.

Another happy customer and a safe lift in conditions that most wouldn’t attempt.

    We use Terranova Crane Hire on a CPA hire basis and have always found them punctual, friendly and easy to deal with. Their operators are experienced, cooperative and professional, making every lift run smoothly. They’re also always willing to share their knowledge and experience of their fleet, which really helps us when planning our lifting strategies. A great company to work with and highly recommended.

    Terranova Cranes, have been supporting a major infrastructure project down in Guildford surrey. They have been reliable and professional throughout the two years of attending site and conducting contract lifts for the mechanical install. Always accommodating, polite, punctual and professional. Excellent local company.
