Question 1

What is the difference between CPA Crane Hire and a CPA Contract Lift?

Accepted Answer

Under standard CPA Crane Hire, we supply the mobile crane and qualified operator, but the customer retains full legal responsibility for lift planning, RAMS, ground conditions, and site supervision. Under a CPA Contract Lift, JK Crane Hire takes end-to-end responsibility—supplying the Appointed Person (AP), Crane Supervisor, Slinger/Signallers, risk assessments, insurance cover, and method statements in strict accordance with BS 7121.

Question 2

What mobile crane capacities and fleet options do you supply across Scotland?

Accepted Answer

We operate a modern fleet of all-terrain and city mobile cranes ranging from 35 tonnes to 250 tonnes (with heavy-lift equipment up to 1,000 tonnes available upon request). Our fleet serves construction, civil engineering, renewables, industrial plant maintenance, and infrastructure projects across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, and nationwide.

Question 3

What safety accreditations and operator certifications do you hold?

Accepted Answer

All our lifting operations operate under BS 7121 codes of practice and LOLER 1998 regulations. Our personnel are fully CPCS-qualified (Appointed Persons, Crane Supervisors, and Slinger/Signallers). We operate under certified ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 management systems, backed by SafeContractor accreditation.

Question 4

How do I request a site survey and crane hire quote?

Accepted Answer

You can request a site survey by contacting our operations desk on 07814 733368 or submitting an online enquiry. Our technical Appointed Persons conduct comprehensive site visits to evaluate access, ground bearing pressure, boom length requirements, and radius considerations before issuing a tailored lift plan and commercial proposal.
