CRANE HIRE LONDON

DSM Contract Lifting Services provides crane hire in London for construction sites, commercial projects, M&E contractors, infrastructure works, heritage buildings and restricted-access lifting operations.

We support clients across Central London, Greater London and the surrounding areas with crane hire, CPA contract lifting, HIAB hire, plant movement, specialist transport and CAD-planned lifting operations.

From rooftop chiller lifts and basement plant installations to steelwork, glazing, machinery movement, data-centre logistics and complex city-centre lifts, DSM plans each project around the site, the load, the access restrictions and the programme.

Specialist Crane Hire Across London

Crane hire in London often requires more than simply supplying a crane. Narrow streets, road restrictions, live buildings, limited access, pedestrian management, basement plant rooms, rooftop lifting points and tight working areas all need careful planning.

DSM provides practical crane hire solutions for London projects where safety, coordination and technical planning are essential.

Our team can support the full lifting process, including site assessment, crane selection, lift planning, RAMS, transport, lifting personnel, supervision and final placement.

CPA CONTRACT LIFTING LONDON

For clients who need a fully planned lifting operation, DSM provides CPA contract lifting across London.

Under a CPA contract lift, DSM can manage the planning and delivery of the lift, including method statements, risk assessments, appointed person support, crane selection, lifting equipment, operators, supervisors and slingers.

This is often the right option for technical lifts, restricted-access sites, rooftop plant replacement, basement plant movement, heavy machinery installation and projects where the client needs a controlled lift from start to finish.

Crane Hire for Restricted-Access London Sites

Many London lifting projects come with access challenges. DSM regularly supports lifts where space is limited, the setup area is restricted or the lifting route needs careful coordination.

This can include:

City-centre crane lifts
Restricted-access lifting
Rooftop chiller lifts
Basement plant installations
Plant room equipment movement
Data-centre lifting and logistics
Machinery moving and final placement
Steelwork and glazing lifts
HIAB transport and lifting
Heritage and sensitive-site lifting

Every project is assessed properly before work begins, so the right equipment, lift plan and team are in place.

Rooftop Chiller Lifts and Basement Plant Installations

DSM works with M&E contractors, facilities teams, building managers and commercial clients across London to support rooftop plant lifts and basement plant installations.

These projects often involve awkward access, tight programmes and heavy or sensitive equipment. DSM can manage the lift planning, transport, crane hire, HIAB support, specialist lifting equipment and final positioning of plant.

We regularly support the movement and installation of chillers, generators, transformers, switchgear, pumps, air handling units, packaged plant and other mechanical or industrial equipment.

Data-Centre Lifting and Technical Plant Movement

DSM provides lifting and logistics support for data-centre projects and technical environments where planning, control and careful handling are essential.

Our team can support the transport, lifting and placement of critical equipment including cooling systems, generators, UPS equipment, switchgear, transformers, containerised plant and associated infrastructure.

For technical sites, we can provide CAD lift planning, RAMS, specialist transport, crane hire, HIAB hire and experienced lifting teams to help keep the project controlled from collection through to final placement.

HIAB Hire and Specialist Transport in London

Where a full mobile crane is not required, DSM can provide HIAB hire and specialist transport for London projects.

HIAB vehicles are useful for lifting and placing plant, machinery, steelwork, materials, containers, equipment and site assets where delivery and lifting need to be handled together.

DSM can advise whether a HIAB, mobile crane, compact crane or alternative lifting method is the best fit for the site and load.

HIAB Hire

Our HIAB vehicles efficiently lift and place various items, including machinery, steelwork, and containers. We ensure seamless delivery and lifting for your site assets.

Specialist Transport Solutions

We provide expert transport services designed for complex projects. Our team ensures safe and timely delivery of equipment and materials to your site.

CAD Lift Planning for London Crane Hire

London crane hire often needs detailed planning before the lift reaches site.

DSM can provide 2D and 3D CAD lift plans where required, helping clients and site teams understand crane positioning, lifting radius, load movement, access restrictions, exclusion zones and the proposed lifting sequence.

This gives contractors, project managers and site teams a clearer view of the lifting operation before work begins.
