Slinger Signallers for Croydon and the CR postcodes
The tower cranes in Croydon are mostly on mid-rise residential and mixed-use plots in and around the town centre, and the lifting they do is heavily delivery-led — bricks, blocks, frame components and finishes arriving into a plot with barely any laydown. Slingers here spend their day on repetitive, well-rehearsed lifts, which suits an operative who is reliable and precise rather than one chasing variety.
Because the plots sit tight against live highway and pedestrian routes, several Croydon sites operate with exclusion zones that have to be set and cleared for every lift. We look for slingers who are comfortable challenging site traffic and members of the public, because a slinger who will not stop a lift when someone walks under it is worse than no slinger.
The local pool through CR, SM and BR postcodes means short commutes and dependable early starts — useful when your first delivery is booked for 7:30 and the crane driver is already in the cab.
Every slinger signaller is checked before they reach your gate
Vetting is done before we put someone forward, not after you have inducted them. The evidence sits in our compliance pack and we will send it for your PQQ.
CPCS or NPORS card verified
Checked live against the scheme register for the Slinger/Signaller category — A40 and the relevant variant — not accepted from a photo.

We confirm the operative is carded for the type of lifting you are running, including remote and radio-controlled operations where relevant.
Right to work
Originals or share code checked in person, with expiry dates tracked.
