Slinger Signallers for Surrey and the south-west M25 corridor
Surrey lifting is dominated by mobile crane work: steel frames on commercial and industrial units, modular and offsite units craned into residential plots, and plant lifts into occupied buildings during refurbishment. Very few Surrey sites carry a tower crane for long, so most of our bookings here are short campaigns tied to a specific crane visit.
Modular and offsite installation deserves a mention on its own, because it is growing across the county and it changes the slinger's job. The loads are large, the lifting points are designed, and the sequence has to hold across a whole day of repeat placements — a slinger who has done modular before will keep that rhythm, and one who has not will slow the crane.
Access on Surrey sites is often via residential roads with weight and hour restrictions, and crane pads may sit close to boundaries. We look for slingers who are comfortable running an exclusion zone that includes neighbouring property, and who will hold the line on an hours restriction rather than start early and lose the site its goodwill.
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.

Checked live against the scheme register for the Slinger/Signaller category — A40 and the relevant variant — not accepted from a photo.
