HIAB Crane Hire Across the Capital

Most London jobs come down to the same problem: you cannot fit a separate flatbed delivery and a separate crane on the same street, and even if you could, you would block the road for the whole afternoon. Our truck-mounted HIABs solve that. We roll up on one vehicle, deploy the crane from the kerbside, swing the load over the front of the property — or further — and place it exactly where it needs to go. One visit, one vehicle, no separate plant hire to coordinate.

We cover the south-east London boroughs that border Kent most regularly — Bexley, Bromley, Lewisham, Greenwich, Croydon — and travel further into Greater London for booked work. Common jobs include steel beam drops onto residential extensions in terraced streets across Forest Hill, Catford, Eltham, Beckenham and Bromley, hot tubs and garden rooms lifted over rear walls into back gardens, and container and cabin placements on tight commercial yards where a separate crane simply would not fit. Where ULEZ or low-emission zones apply, we will confirm compliance before booking.

The reach of a HIAB is what makes London work practical. Rather than carrying a load through the house — which most builders and homeowners want to avoid — the crane goes up and over the roof and sets the unit down in the back. That keeps the property clean, removes manual-handling risk and finishes the job in a fraction of the time. Whether you need a single beam into a London suburb or a stack of materials lifted onto a roof in a busy borough, we will scope the lift, confirm parking and access, and turn up ready to work.
