King Lifting LTD

King Lifting LTD Crane Hire, Contract Lifting, Plant & Machinery Movement, Transport Established as a limited company in 1982, by its present day Managing Director, Bob King.

His vision was to create an independent crane hire company offering customers excellent service and value for money. We have recently introduced new products to our range including; Mobile Tower Cranes, Self Erecting Tower Cranes, Mini Crawler Cranes, & the 100ton Power Lift Gantry System to meet our customer’s changing requirements. Since establishing the business in Bristol, we have built on our

success and expanded to operate from depots based in Hengoed - South Wales, Southampton, Swindon, Yeovil, West London and more recently East London. In line with our strategy of steady growth, we are continually considering further plans for expansion. Machinery installation and transport also play a key part in contributing to the company's success. We are able to offer a complete lift and shift service. Our machinery teams deliver safe and efficient solutions to machinery moving and our fleet of low, semi low loaders and flat bed vehicles together with lorry loader cranes can transport your load to any part of Europe.

Working in a city centre means every metre counts.

Limited space. Busy roads. Surrounding buildings. Tight schedules.

Recently, we shared a look at a tower crane dismantling project in Canary Wharf, where success depended on detailed planning long before the first crane arrived on site.

Because when space is limited, preparation becomes your most valuable piece of equipment.

When projects get bigger and more complex, capability matters.

That’s why we continue to invest in high-capacity cranes designed for demanding lifts, heavy infrastructure work, and complex engineering environments.

More capacity. More flexibility. More control where it counts. https://www.kinglifting.co.uk/fleet/

Safety works best when it’s part of everyday thinking, not a separate checklist.

That’s the idea behind our “Safety Starts With Me” approach, built around speaking up, stepping back when something doesn’t look right, and taking responsibility for keeping everyone safe.

Because in lifting, the safest decision is always the most important one. https://www.kinglifting.co.uk/health-and-safety/
