Lift out - Import export

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Our depots in Halifax, and portside locations in Goole and Grangemouth all offer secure warehousing, storage, cargo handling and specialist straddle carrier lifting facilities. Our warehousing and storage facilities can accommodate long and short term cargo handling and storage solutions or can simply be used as a 'holding' area for abnormal loads awaiting onward transport or shipment. Our 5-acre depot at Halifax offers 40,000sq ft of indoor warehousing and outdoor storage space and is divided between two operations, general warehousing for standard cargo and heavy lift storage for large, out of gauge cargo and abnormal loads. This depot is fully equipped to accommodate test builds, featuring two overhead gantry cranes with 30 Tonne and 32 Tonne capacity.

The Appointed Person course is designed to give you the skills & knowledge to become competent in planning safe systems of work for carrying out lifting operations.

It is a legal requirement under The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 that every lifting operation is carried out in a safe manner. This includes use of a responsible person to guide the crane using suitable means of communication, and to securely attach the load to the crane. We have now developed a 'Foundation Plus' course which is five days in duration. This will give candidates more practical training time to give greater preparation for the CPCS Practical Test, and to enhance post-course knowledge and skills. With effect from January 19th 2015 this category has been amended to add endorsements against a range of lifting equipment types to cover the increased use of slingers for a wider variety of lifting operations. The endorsements are: A – All Types – all duties B – All Types – static duties C – Knuckle boom static only D – Excavator only E – Lift truck only
