Spider Crane

With great lifting comes great responsibility.

1 specialist spider crane deployed
Live railway boundary maintained throughout
0 encroachments onto the railway

Working directly alongside a live railway line leaves very little room for error. Strict boundary constraints meant no crane could oversail the railway, ruling out conventional solutions entirely.

A specialist spider crane was the only viable option. Its compact footprint and precise lifting capability allowed us to carry out all works safely within the structure while staying well within railway restrictions throughout.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
