A weekend at Harrods
We had an eventful weekend recently at Harrods with the Red Rocket Liebherr LTM1450 8.1 Assisted by our Liebherr LTM11220 rigging crane.
Using these impressive cranes, we lifted some brand new 2.5-ton chillers with ease.
Find out more about these impressive cranes:

A big busy Boecker day
2 Boeckers are better than 1!
We had a big busy Boecker day installing platforms at St George’s Hospital in Tooting.
We used a 30m radius for the Boecker 52 and 27m radius for the Boeckers.

A tight squeeze for our City Boy
Our Spierings City Boy mobile crane has been working completely emission-free on a 32-amp site supply. This useful crane allowed us to reach up 40 metres and over a tall building from a very narrow street.
This crane can really do it all! Learn more about it here: https://citylifting.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/SPIERINGS-SK487-AT3-City-Boy.pdf

Portakabin Units In Piccadilly
We had another tricky little job this week in Piccadilly. We completed a lift through the night installing Portakabin units with our 120t Liebherr.
Thank you to REGION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT LTD for keeping the road open on a partial closure. The crane’s legs extended out 500mm preventing the need for a full closure and bus divert.
A great install by the City Lifting team!
A13 Bridge Collision
We were recently called out to recover a 40t Boiler from the A13.
A lorry carrying a 40-ton Boiler had collided with a bridge. Thankfully City Lifting came to the rescue!
We used our 220t Demag mobile crane with extra ballast added to lift the boiler out of the way.
Thanks to our team’s brilliant effort the road was soon reopened ready for rush hour traffic the next day.
Lifting In Paddingtion
We had a tight squeeze recently lifting a new plant room and chiller to a roof in Paddington. Here’s our Liebherr LM1450t 8.1 in action.

July roundup is here!
Antony Gormely’s Sculpture
The team were proud to help install Antony Gormely’s permanent sculpture entitled ‘Alert’ at Imperial College London’s South Kensington campus.
Speaking on the sculpture, Antony Gormley has said: ‘Through the conversion of anatomy into an architectural construction I want to re-assess the relation between body and space. Balancing on the balls of the feet while squatting on its haunches and surveying the world around it the attitude of this sculpture is alive, alert and awake.’
Well done team! 👏
Canary Wharf
We’re reaching new heights! We have started a tower crane climbing operation to increase the height of a Comansa 16 LC 260 Tower Crane at Canary Wharf. 🏗️
The crane will reach a final height of 189 metres! 😮
Gravestone Replacements
We recently assisted with the replacement of gravestones in Mill Hill using our Hoeflon C10e.
A lovely hire carried out by our team. 👏

June roundup is here!
Liverpool Street
We had a busy day for our Hiab crane this weekend as we helped to install the Manifold (Major Third) 5:4 by British artist Conrad Shawcross RA.
You can find this beautiful sculpture outside the western entrance to the Elizabeth Line at Liverpool Street.
Miller & Carter Steakhouse
We assisted with the ‘rescue mission’ at the sunken Miller & Carter steakhouse at Lakeside. Here’s our 150te Grove in action!
Anyone for steak? 🍽️
New 25ton Aluexbeams
t was nice to get our new 25-ton Aluexbeams out of the box for this 11-ton air source heat pump lift.
This was a simple solution to slinging multiple lifting points and allowed the team to lift multiple-sized chillers with a single beam without the need for any tools.

Beaumont Hotel
We’ve had a beautiful hire working in Mayfair on The Beaumont Hotel using our Spierings SK1265-AT6. 🏗️🏨
Brighton Marina
We spent the bank holiday weekend at Brighton Marina helping lift a 450-ton boat out of the water that had sunk a few weeks ago. 🏗️⛵️
450t on full counterweight was used to lift the boat just high enough for the repair to be done and then it was floated into a dry dock for scrap.
