Steel Beam Lifting

Structural steel craned into position for renovations, extensions and new builds — beams, lintels, columns and posts. Most steel is too heavy to carry in and has to arrive at first-floor height or better.

One of our recent lifts

We work alongside builders and steel erectors, picking beams straight off the delivery truck and placing them on the props or the brickwork ready to be fixed.

Why choose us

A structural beam for a load-bearing wall removal can weigh several hundred kilograms and often has to be threaded into a house with no room on either side.

Craning it over the roofline and lowering it into the opening is faster, and far safer, than walking it in on rollers.
