OUR CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I worked with Jonathan of Rainbird Crane Services on a project in Oxford Street. Rainbird Crane Services provided the whole lifting operation team, this included the Appointed Person, Crane Supervisor, Crane Operators and Slinger/Signallers. Our tight site constraints and extensive coordination with our neighbouring Crossrail site meant that our logistics and especially crane lift operations had to be managed well and safely. Thankfully we had the experience and expertise of Jonathan to plan and execute efficiently all our lifting operations without any incidents. This is a testament to the leadership and expertise that Jonathan and Rainbird Crane Services will bring to any project."
