Frequently Asked Questions
What types of equipment are used in lifting and transport services?
Lifting and transport services often rely on a variety of equipment designed for different types of loads and environments. This might include cranes, lifting frames, forklifts, jacks, trailers and rigging gear. Some equipment is vehicle-mounted for mobility, while others are static and suited to confined or indoor areas. Each piece of equipment serves a particular function—such as vertical lifting, load shifting or long-distance transport. Choosing the right combination depends on the job’s complexity, access, safety requirements and timeframes. Most providers supply equipment that is safety-certified and maintained to industry standards, though availability and type will differ by provider.
What should I consider when selecting equipment for a lifting task?
Selecting the right equipment starts with understanding the load’s weight, dimensions, shape and centre of gravity. Site access, lifting height and ground conditions also influence the choice. The environment—such as confined spaces, overhead obstructions or uneven terrain—may require specific solutions. In some cases, engineered lift plans or input from lifting specialists is recommended. Additional considerations include licensing requirements, the duration of the lift and whether backup equipment is needed. Using the wrong equipment can compromise safety and delay the project, so clear communication between the operator, project manager and equipment provider is essential.
Can equipment be delivered directly to site?
In most cases, lifting and transport equipment can be delivered directly to the job site. Many equipment providers offer drop-off and pick-up services, which can save time and reduce the need for additional logistics planning. Larger equipment may require transport on low-loaders or tilt trays, and site access must be confirmed in advance. Delivery times are usually scheduled to coordinate with other worksite activities to prevent congestion or downtime. For remote areas, extra lead time may be necessary. It’s important to provide clear instructions regarding access, ground conditions and any permit requirements before scheduling delivery.
