24 Hour Mini Crane Hire in London & Essex
If you’ve got a lift that needs planning, troubleshooting, or safe handling, we’re ready to help.
Specialist Lifting – Your Project Covered
Heavy Loads. Rapid Response. 24/7 All Year Round.
When a job is too tight for a standard crane, too heavy for manpower, or too awkward for most lifting firms to touch, that’s where we come in.
At 24 Hour Crane Lifting, we specialise in exactly those situations. Tight drives, restricted access sites, back gardens, basements, and congested construction zones are our everyday work. If it’s heavy, awkward, or stuck in a space that shouldn’t be possible, we find a way to move it safely.
We operate across London and Essex, providing reliable mini crane hire, steel lifting, and emergency structural support, 24 hours a day.
01. Tight Access?
02. Challenge Accepted!
Experienced Crane Hire Specialists | Our Story
The company was founded by Max Fennings, following more than 20 years of hands-on experience in heavy lifting and structural steel environments.
Before launching 24 Hour Crane Lifting, Max built a reputation for precision through 24hourwelding, where he specialised in high-end steel fabrication and complex welding projects.
Over those two decades, one problem kept coming up again and again: most crane companies simply wouldn’t touch the difficult jobs.
Small access. Narrow streets. Residential extensions. Collapsed structures. Jobs that require thinking, not just machinery.
That gap is exactly why this business exists today.
We’re not just a crane hire company. We’re an on-site lifting and fabrication team that understands how steel behaves, how structures move, and how to solve problems in real time.
What We Do Best
We don’t try to be everything to everyone. We focus on work that actually needs precision.

- Mini crane hire for tight access sites
- Steel beam lifting and RSJ installation support

Why Clients Choose Our Crane for Hire Services in London & Essex
Most of our work comes through builders, engineers, and property owners who have already been told the job is “too awkward” or “not possible with standard equipment.”
We don’t approach jobs that way.
Instead, we assess what’s actually happening on site, look at access properly, and plan the lift around real conditions.
Because we also come from a welding and fabrication background, we can do more than just lift and leave. We can hold steel in position, assist with alignment, and support installation where required.
That combination is what makes us a practical site partner and a trusted cranes for hire service.
Safety, Planning & Professional Standards
Every lift is planned before equipment is brought on site. We conduct thorough assessments so the work is controlled, safe, and compliant from the start.
- £5 million public and employer liability insurance
- CSCS, NEBOSH, and NPORS-accredited operators
- Full risk assessments and method statements for every job
- Site checks for access, load weight, and ground conditions
Simple Quoting Process
We keep the process straightforward because most clients don’t have time to complete long forms that can incur delays.
- Call or message us with the job details
- Send photos or videos via WhatsApp
- Receive a clear price and availability
In most cases, we can price jobs quickly based on access and load information. This is why many people searching for crane hire near me choose us.
