Where we work in and around Middlesbrough

Most of our Middlesbrough crane hire work falls into a handful of sectors.

Chemicals and process

Teesside has one of the UK’s largest concentrations of chemical manufacturing, with major sites at Wilton and Billingham. Work here usually means shutdown lifts, plant replacement and new installations on operating sites, all carried out under the site’s permit-to-work rules. See our chemicals sector page.

Teesport and the Freeport

Teesport is one of the UK’s major ports, and Freeport status is bringing new infrastructure and offshore wind supply chain work to the estuary. Quayside lifts mean planning around vessel movements, ground conditions and the weather off the North Sea. See our maritime and power and renewables pages.

Steel and heavy engineering

Heavy engineering is still a big part of work on Teesside. Maintenance lifts, equipment changes and machinery moves on these sites need serious capacity and careful planning. See our industrial sector page.

Industrial estates

Riverside Park, Teesside Estate on the A19, Mandale Park by the A66 and the Skippers Lane estate are home to manufacturers and engineering firms. Typical jobs here are machinery deliveries and installs, factory moves and rooftop plant.

Construction, regeneration and building services

Middlesbrough town centre regeneration, the Teesworks site at Redcar and commercial projects across the TS postcodes keep up a steady demand for steel erection, cladding lifts and rooftop plant replacement. See our construction and HVAC sector pages.

Access and planning for lifts in Middlesbrough

Every site is different, but a few things come up again and again on Middlesbrough jobs:

• Getting there. Most cranes reach Middlesbrough on the A66 and A19. Larger all-terrain cranes and ballast loads are routed around low bridges and weight limits, and we plan the route before we quote.
• Live industrial sites. On chemical and process sites we work to site inductions, permits to work and exclusion zones, and fit lifts around shutdown and maintenance windows.
• Ground conditions. Quaysides, reclaimed land and former industrial ground can be soft or poorly recorded. We check ground bearing and outrigger positions, and use crane mats where needed.
• Wind. Sites near the estuary and the coast can see strong winds, so we plan lifts around wind limits and build some flexibility into the programme.
• Town-centre and roadside lifts. If a lift needs a road or pavement closure, we can arrange the traffic management and road closure with Middlesbrough Council as part of the job.

More than cranes

Many Middlesbrough jobs need more than a lift, so we also offer:

• Machine movement in Middlesbrough
• Machine delivery and installation
• Factory relocation
• Industrial plant dismantling
• Steel erection and dismantling
• Plantroom strip out
• Traffic management and road closures

How to book a crane

1. Send us the site location, load weight, access details and dates. Photos help.
2. We quote, usually the same working day. Complex lifts may need a site visit first.
3. For contract lifts we prepare the lift plan and RAMS. For CPA hire we advise on crane position and set-up.
4. We arrive on the agreed day and carry out the lift to BS 7121.

Common questions

Can you work on permit-controlled chemical sites?

Yes. Our teams work to site inductions, permits to work and exclusion zones on operating sites, and we can plan lifts around shutdown windows. Tell us the site rules when you enquire and we’ll build them into the lift plan.

Do you arrange road closures in Middlesbrough?

Many lifts don’t need one. If yours does need part of a road or pavement closed, we can arrange the traffic management and apply to Middlesbrough Council for the closure, and we’ll tell you at quote stage.

What size crane do I need for my Middlesbrough job?

It depends on the weight of the load, how far the crane needs to reach and the space available to set it up. Send us those details and we’ll recommend a machine, or read our guide to what size crane you need.
