Words From Our Clients

“I have used Stoddart Crane Hire for a number of complex lifting operations and have always found them to be competent in the work undertaken, flexible in their approach and undertake the work to a very high standard. A recent operation involved very complicated logistical planning, which had to change with short notice, they then worked extended hours to ensure the lift took place during the available weather window. Always friendly in their communication and during delivery and the lifting plans and risk assessments are to a high quality. Will be using them again.”
