Manchester Crane Hire
Professional Crane Hire Solutions from Sherrington Lifting Services
If you’re managing a project in Manchester, you know that no two sites are the same. Whether you’re navigating the tight footprint of a city-centre development, handling industrial maintenance in Trafford, or supporting a massive infrastructure build in Greater Manchester, you need a lifting partner who actually understands the local terrain.
At Sherrington Lifting Services, we don’t just drop off a crane. We provide safe, sensible, and highly efficient lifting operations tailored to your specific goals. From one-off to long-term site support, our team is here to ensure your project stays on track, compliant, and, most importantly, safe.
Our specialist crane hire services
Every job comes with its own set of hurdles. This is why we offer various levels of support depending on how much of the work you would like us to handle during the planning phase.
We work across construction, utilities, manufacturing, and logistics to keep Manchester moving.
- CPA Crane Hire: The straightforward choice if you already have the qualified personnel and the insurance in place to manage the lift. We provide a modern, certified crane and a highly skilled operator exactly when you need them.
- Full Contract Lifting: With this option, we handle everything from the initial RAMS and site survey through to project completion.
- Technical Personnel: Perhaps you would like another set of expert eyes? For a seamless integration with your existing site team, we can supply Appointed Persons (APs), Crane Supervisors, and Slingers/Signallers.
Comprehensive crane hire services in Manchester
While having the right equipment is part of being a professional crane company, having the right strategy is another. Our crane hire in Manchester focuses on the realities of working in a confined space. This means we help you avoid costly delays and downtime associated with poor planning.
- Mobile crane hire: Our mobile cranes give us the height and flexibility that Manchester’s skyline demands for steel erection, rooftop HVAC work, and modular glass installations.
- Bespoke managed packages: For high-risk or multi-stage projects, we build a lifting programme that removes the pressure from your site manager, ensuring every lift is coordinated and documented perfectly.
- Restricted access and city logistics: We specialise in those impossible spots, like narrow streets, out-of-hours lifts, and sites with zero margin for error.

Health and Safety
At Sherrington Lifting Services, safety is the foundation of every decision we make, rather than just a box to be checked. BS 7121 (the Safe Use of Cranes) and LOLER regulations are strictly followed in all of our operations. Before a hook even leaves the bed, we ensure a rigorous risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) process. By maintaining a modern, meticulously serviced fleet and ensuring our personnel are constantly trained in the latest safety protocols, we minimise the risk to your staff, the public, and your assets. When we are on your site, you can rest assured that your compliance is fully covered.
