Contract Lifting Services
When you book a contract lift with BJW Cranes, we'll handle the job from start to finish. We provide the crane, the operator, the Appointed Person, and all the planning, documentation and insurance that goes with it. This means you stay in control of your project, and we take responsibility for the lift.
Our contract lifting services are carried out in full compliance with BS7121 (the safe use of cranes) and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations), under CPA Contract Lift terms and conditions.
Based in Scunthorpe and Immingham, we serve clients across Yorkshire, Humberside, Lincolnshire and the East Midlands.
What is a contract lift?
A contract lift is a lifting arrangement where the crane owner (us) takes full responsibility for the operation. This includes everything from selecting the right crane, planning the lift, providing all personnel and arranging the correct insurance cover.
Under a standard CPA crane hire, those responsibilities lie with the customer. You need to have a qualified appointed person, a competent slinger and supervisor, insurance and a comprehensive method statement and risk assessment. A contract lift removes all this hassle.
If you don't have in-house lifting expertise, a contract lift is the right way to go.
What's included in our contract lifting service?
When BJW Cranes carries out a contract lift, we take on the following responsibilities:
- Provide a CPCS-qualified Appointed Person to plan and supervise the entire operation
- Select the correct crane type, size and capacity for the lift
- Supply a fully trained and certified Slinger/Signaller and Crane Operator
- Produce all Method Statements and Risk Assessments

Speak to our depot manager or email office@bjwcranes.co.uk if you need cover that goes beyond this.

Frequently Asked Questions
CPA Contract Lifting FAQ’s
If you've hired cranes before, have the in-house expertise, and can provide a qualified Appointed Person and all supporting documentation, a standard CPA crane hire will likely be sufficient. If you're new to crane hire, lack certified personnel, don't have your own Appointed Person or want to remove planning and liability from your side entirely, a contract lift is the best option. Get in touch today, and we'll help you decide.
Contract lift costs vary based on location, the crane required, the complexity of the operation, and time on site. Because we take on more responsibility, contract lifts typically cost more than a standard CPA crane hire. However, that cost includes the Appointed Person, all documentation, supervision, and insurance cover that you'd need to arrange yourself. For a no-obligation quote, get in touch.
