Your questions, answered

Frequently Asked Questions

All cranes have a maximum design wind speed for safe operation. When the wind speed exceeds this limit the crane must be taken out of service. Different types of crane, different models of the same type of crane and different configurations of the same model may operate with different maximum wind speeds. The operating wind speed for the crane will allow for

the load having a certain wind area; if this is exceeded then the working wind speed will need to be reduced (see the manufacturer’s manual for information on this).

Typical maximum operating wind speeds are:

Mobile Cranes 9.8 m/s (22 m.p.h.) Beaufort Scale 5

Hazards best avoided, where possible, include:

Overhead electric lines
Nearby structures
Other cranes
Railways
Public access areas
Airfields
Where any part of the crane or its load cannot be kept clear of these hazards, the appropriate authority, e.g. a local electricity supplier or Railtrack, must be consulted.

Danger from vaults or underground services must not be overlooked, and suitable precautions must be taken where they cannot be avoided.

Where the crane or its load passes closer than 600mm to an obstacle, effective precautions must be taken to avoid crushing, by preventing personnel accessing the area.

Where a crane is to be used within 15 metres plus the length of its jib, from overhead power lines on steel towers, (or 9 metres plus the length of the jib, from overhead lines on wood, concrete or steel poles) the guidance given in HSE Guidance Note GS6 must be followed.

Where a crane will work close to railway property (i.e. if it fell over and any part of it, or any load being lifted by it, could fall on railway property), consult the railway property owner and CPES.

If the crane is within 6 km of an airfield, and its height exceeds 10 m or that of the surrounding structures or trees, then the Appointed Person should seek the permission of the airfield manager before starting operations.

Cranes have very high axel weights, and need good solid ground the same as a lorry would need. You will also need to make sure there are no sharp objects in the path of the crane when gaining access to the site.

Jon took on craning my studio into my garden - I had asked around and many didn’t consider the job a priority or worth their while but Jon instantly made my job feel important and arranged a consultation with 24hrs. He talked through the process and reassured me that the job would be no problem. Jon turned up on time and did the job in no time at all. Jon’s professionalism instantly settled my nerves. If you’re looking for a professional, Jon’s your man :)

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sherrington Lifting Services and I must say that I was extremely impressed with their services. From the moment I contacted them, they were professional, responsive, and highly knowledgeable. Jon and his team of operators were well-trained and experienced, and they took great care in ensuring that the lifting operation was carried out in the safest and most efficient manner possible. They used state-of-the-art equipment and had a deep understanding of the various technical aspects of the lifting job. What really stood out to me was their exceptional customer service. They were friendly, communicative, and always willing to answer any questions that I had. They also went above and beyond to ensure that the job was completed within the timeframe and budget that we had agreed upon. Overall, I would highly recommend Sherrington Lifting Services to anyone in need of professional and reliable lifting services. They truly exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
