Frequently asked questions
Can you handle stacked cabin placements?
Yes — subject to the cabin’s structural rating and the reach/weight combination on our truck. Send the cabin spec, stack height and site details and we’ll confirm before quote.
Do you work under contract lift terms when we need RAMS?
Yes — we run contract lifts with full method statement, risk assessment and Appointed Person oversight when the job or end client requires it.
Can you set up a running account?
Yes. For regular work we’ll agree rates, SLAs and invoicing terms so bookings are one call or one email and paperwork is minimal.
