Contract Lifting
Buzzard's contract lifting service provides a fully managed lifting solution, with Buzzard taking complete responsibility for the planning and execution of every lift.
Under a contract lift, Buzzard becomes the appointed contractor for the lifting operation itself, rather than simply supplying a crane. We handle every stage:
- Lift planning
- Risk assessments
- Method statements
- Equipment selection
- Provision of qualified personnel, including Appointed Persons, Lift Supervisors and Slingers.
A Single Point
This single point of responsibility is the key benefit of a fully managed service. Clients no longer need to coordinate multiple parties or hold the safety case together themselves — Buzzard owns the risk, the planning and the outcome. That means less administrative burden on our clients’ teams, clearer accountability if circumstances change on site, and a lifting strategy that’s been stress-tested by specialists before a single load leaves the ground.
One Team
Because the entire operation sits within one team, decisions on equipment, sequencing and personnel are made with full visibility of the whole lift, not in isolation. This joined-up approach reduces the risk of miscommunication between planning and execution, allows us to adapt quickly if site conditions change, and keeps the programme moving efficiently.
The Result
The result is a lifting operation that is safer, more predictable and more cost-effective, backed by a team who are with the project from initial planning through to final execution — and accountable for it throughout.
