Our services can be used in conjunction with each other or called upon individually. Each is delivered by a specialist team working to the same planning and safety standard.
Contract Lifting
We take full responsibility for the lift: planning, appointed person, crane and equipment selection, supervision and all supporting documentation. You get a complete, managed operation rather than a crane on hire.

Appointed person, lift plan and site-specific RAMS
Crane, rigging and lifting accessory selection
Supervision, slinger signallers and completion records
Appointed person services, crane selection and rigging design, mobile elevating work platforms and specialist access. We plan the lift around your site constraints rather than the other way round.

Contract Lifting
A fully managed lift, from survey to sign-off
Anatree Group Logistics provides fully managed Contract Lifting services, delivering a complete, compliant, and risk-controlled solution for lifting operations across all project types.
AGL assumes full responsibility for the planning, supervision, and execution of each lift, including lift planning, engineering calculations, provision of competent personnel, certified equipment, and on-site management.
This approach enables clients to transfer operational risk to AGL while benefiting from a professional, efficient, and expertly delivered lifting solution, particularly suited to complex, high-risk, or logistically challenging environments.
AGL Insurances

The difference between them is simple: how much of the risk we carry, and how much stays with you.
Platinum cover

Our lifting process
Five stages, no surprises
Every contract lift follows the same structured route, whether it's a single precast panel or a phased steel erection programme.
1. Site survey
We assess access, ground conditions, overhead services, exclusion zones and the load itself before anything is priced.
2. Lift plan
An appointed person produces the lift plan, method statement and risk assessment, with crane selection and rigging specified.
3. Mobilisation
Plant, operator, slinger signaller and any traffic management are booked and coordinated to one programme.
4. Execution
The lift is supervised on site, with live updates issued to your team through AGLive as milestones are hit.
5. Sign-off
Completion records, inspection certificates and photographic evidence are issued as part of the handover pack.
