J.Parrish & Son

Contract lifting

We realise that our hydraulic lorry loaders will never replace mobile cranes but never the less we are still involved in some major lifting operations, and for this reason we operate within the guidelines of BS7121 Part 3 and comply with all the requirements of the guidelines.

We often hire cranes in to work within our Contract Lifts and produce and manage the complete project.

Our fully trained “Appointed Person” will visit you to carry out a free on site survey to asses your particular site risks. We will then produce a site specific Method Statement and Risk Assessment to carry out the work. We will involve you every step of the way to ensure you are totally happy with our proposals and will discuss and implement any changes in the plan before work commences.
The final document will not be produced until we are completely satisfied that we have a safe procedure in place.

On the day of the job every team member will receive an on site briefing before work commences to ensure they know exactly what part they will play in the operation.

Each time you entrust us with your work we undertake a commitment to you to deliver a risk free and quality job time after time to ensure that J. Parrish & Son are always your first choice.
