CPA Contract Lifting, Not Just Crane Hire
Basic crane hire places more responsibility on the client to plan, manage and supervise the lifting operation. That can be suitable for organisations with the right competence, resources and appointed personnel already in place.
CPA contract lifting is different. Under a contract lift arrangement, Mechanical Removals & Installations can provide the planning, lift management, supervision and coordination needed to carry out the lifting operation safely. MRI supports clients who need a competent lifting contractor to take control of the lift rather than simply providing lifting equipment.
For many commercial and industrial projects, this is the safer and more practical route. It helps reduce uncertainty, improves coordination and makes sure the lift is approached as a planned operation rather than a last-minute site scramble.
Crane Hire May Involve
· Client-led lift planning
· Client-appointed competent personnel
· Client responsibility for planning and supervision
· Separate coordination of RAMS and site controls
· Greater pressure on the client to manage lifting risk
CPA Contract Lifting Can Include
· Contractor-led lift planning
· Appointed Person support
· Crane lift plans and RAMS
· Lift supervision and coordination
· Suitable equipment selection
· Controlled execution of the lifting operation

What Our CPA Contract Lifting Services Include...
Mechanical Removals & Installations can support lifting operations with the planning, people, documentation and practical coordination needed to complete the work safely and efficiently.
Site Surveys and Initial Assessment
Mechanical Removals & Installations can review the site, load details, access routes, lifting location, ground conditions, obstructions and programme requirements before planning the lifting method.
Appointed Person Lift Planning
Mechanical Removals & Installations can support projects with Appointed Person lift planning for crane lifting operations, helping ensure the lift is properly assessed, planned and coordinated before work begins.
Crane Lift Plans
Mechanical Removals & Installations can produce crane lift plans that consider the load, lifting equipment, radius, setup position, lifting accessories, exclusion zones, site constraints and safe working requirements.
RAMS and Method Statements
Mechanical Removals & Installations can provide risk assessments and method statements covering the lifting operation, site controls, working sequence, equipment, personnel and key safety considerations.
Ground Surveys, Crane Mat Hire and Load Spreading Support
Where required, Mechanical Removals & Installations can support lifting operations with crane mats and load spreading solutions to assist with safe crane setup and ground protection.
Lift Supervision and Site Coordination
Mechanical Removals & Installations can coordinate lifting operations on site, including communication with client teams, contractors, crane operators, slinger/signallers and other relevant personnel.
Complex and Restricted Access Lifting
Mechanical Removals & Installations supports lifts where access, timing, surrounding works, live environments or equipment sensitivity make the operation more complex than a standard lift.

Built For Complex Sites & Live Environments
Many lifting operations take place in environments where normal site conditions do not apply. Equipment may need to be lifted into a live building, over existing structures, onto a roof, into a restricted service yard, around public interfaces or within a critical operational site.
Mechanical Removals & Installations understands that these lifts require more than equipment availability. They require planning, communication, sequencing and calm control on the day of the lift.
Construction Sites
CPA contract lifting support for principal contractors, main contractors and construction teams requiring planned lifting operations as part of wider site works.
M&E Projects
Lifting support for chillers, AHUs, heat pumps, plate heat exchangers, pressurisation units, expansion vessels, boiler plant and other mechanical equipment.
Data Centres and Critical Infrastructure
Controlled lifting support for critical equipment where programme, security, access and coordination are essential.
Commercial Buildings
Roof-level plant lifts, replacement works, restricted access lifts and equipment movements for commercial property and facilities teams.
Industrial Sites
Lifting support for machinery, heavy plant, tanks, equipment, structural items and project-critical assets.

Our Contract Lifting Process
Step 1
Enquiry and Load Information
The process starts with understanding what needs lifting. Mechanical Removals & Installations will need key information such as load type, weight, dimensions, lifting points, site address, access restrictions and required dates.
Step 2
Site Survey and Feasibility Review
Where required, Mechanical Removals & Installations can attend site to assess access, crane setup areas, ground conditions, lifting radius, obstructions, exclusion zones and practical project constraints.
Step 3
Lift Planning and Documentation
Mechanical Removals & Installations prepares the lifting approach, which may include crane lift plans, RAMS, equipment selection, personnel requirements, communication arrangements and site controls.
Step 4
Coordination Before the Lift
Before the lift takes place, MRI can coordinate with the client, site team, contractors and lifting personnel to confirm access, timings, responsibilities, delivery sequence and any required permits or site arrangements.
Step 5
Controlled Lift Execution
On the day of the lift, Mechanical Removals & Installations focuses on safe setup, clear communication, competent supervision, controlled lifting and practical coordination through to completion.
Step 6
Final Positioning and Follow-On Support
Where required, Mechanical Removals & Installations can also support final positioning, internal movement, machinery relocation, installation support, storage, transport and wider project logistics.

LOLER-Aware Lift Planning, RAMS and Safe Systems of Work
Mechanical Removals & Installations approaches lifting operations with safety, planning and control at the centre of the work. Lifting operations must be properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out by competent people using suitable equipment.
For CPA contract lifting services, Mechanical Removals & Installations can support clients with Appointed Person lift planning, crane lift plans, RAMS, method statements, equipment selection, lift supervision and site coordination. MRI also considers access, ground conditions, exclusion zones, public interfaces, neighbouring work activities and other foreseeable risks that could affect the lifting operation.
The aim is simple: make sure the lift is planned around the actual site conditions, not guessed on the day.
