Planning is paramount – Site surveys can be carried out to ensure the correct equipment and trained, qualified personnel are supplied for the smoothest operation possible. From single machine moves to entire relocations, all work is assessed on its own merit, taking into consideration insurance values, schedules & risk. W. Finch can liaise with end users, manufacturers, suppliers and contractors to discuss site requirements. Where required, we can work closely with local authorities and governing bodies to plan and deliver road closures and permits for any transport and lifting operations. We pride ourselves on always being available to assist the client at every stage of their project.

Our crane lorry loaders range from 5t/m to 66t/m with jib lengths up to 28m. Air ride suspension, low ride height, and rear steer axles, assist us to specify a vehicle to meet our customer requirements. All W Finch vehicles carry a variety of lifting and moving equipment, including machine skates, hydraulic jacks, nylon slings and hardwood timbers. Site specific surveys can be carried out to determine what equipment is required. Additional specialist lifting equipment to include aluminium and steel gantries, Skoots, Hydraulic Tirfors, electric and manual chain blocks, spreaders and lifting cradles, are always readily in our tackle sheds should the need arise.
