FAQ
What is bespoke lifting equipment?
Bespoke lifting equipment refers to custom-designed lifting solutions engineered to meet specific load, dimensional and operational requirements. Unlike standard off-the-shelf products, bespoke lifting equipment is fabricated to suit unique applications, site constraints and safety specifications.
When should bespoke lifting equipment be used?
Bespoke lifting equipment is required when standard lifting products cannot safely accommodate load geometry, lifting points, headroom limitations or specialised handling requirements. Custom fabrication ensures optimal load stability and compliance with relevant lifting standards.
What types of bespoke lifting equipment can be manufactured?
We design and manufacture a wide range of bespoke lifting equipment, including lifting beams, spreader beams, lifting frames, gantries, runway beams, jibs and specialist material handling attachments. Each solution is engineered to suit the specific lifting application.
How is bespoke lifting equipment designed?
All bespoke lifting equipment is developed using advanced 3D CAD modelling to validate structural integrity, load paths and lifting configurations. Detailed technical drawings and calculations are produced prior to fabrication to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Is the bespoke lifting equipment certified?
Yes. Custom lifting equipment can be supplied with full documentation including design calculations, welding certification, material traceability and proof load testing certification where required. All equipment is manufactured in accordance with relevant UK and European lifting standards.
What materials are used in lifting equipment fabrication?
Bespoke lifting equipment is typically fabricated from high-grade structural steel such as S355. Material selection depends on Safe Working Load requirements, operational environment and durability considerations.
What industries use bespoke lifting equipment?
Bespoke lifting equipment is widely used across construction, manufacturing, heavy engineering, rail, renewable energy and infrastructure sectors where specialist lifting solutions are required to safely handle complex or heavy loads.
What information is required to request a bespoke lifting equipment quote?
To provide an accurate quotation, we typically require details such as Safe Working Load (SWL), load dimensions, lifting point configuration, site constraints, operational environment and any certification requirements. This ensures your lifting equipment is engineered precisely to your needs.
