Method and Risk Documents Provided for Every Lift
Before a single piece of equipment leaves our depot, we've already assessed site access and ground conditions across your Wicklow location, confirmed travel routes for abnormal loads, planned for weather contingencies given Wicklow's exposed upland conditions, and briefed the operator on your specific site risks. This is the difference between a lift that happens on time and one that gets delayed.
We want to be the crane partner you call for every Wicklow project, year after year. That means showing up when we say we will, staying on site until the job is done, billing fairly with no hidden charges for travel time or waiting hours, and answering the phone on weekends when emergencies happen.
It's how we run our business.
We reduce that risk through fully certified operators with NPORS, CPCS, and in-house training who know Wicklow's sites and conditions, alongside rigorous equipment inspections where every crane is checked before every job. We provide method statements and risk assessments in advance with no surprises, backed by full public and employers' liability insurance coverage, buying you peace of mind.
Our safety record across Wicklow and the wider region speaks for itself. Zero major incidents. Zero lost-time injuries. Zero environmental breaches. Safety is built into every decision we make—from how we plan lifts to how we maintain our fleet to how we train our people. The safe choice is the smart choice.
At Kavanagh Crane Hire Ltd, ensuring our equipment remains in optimal working condition is a key priority.
We are proud to operate a state-of-the-art maintenance facility, featuring four service pits that allow our skilled mechanics to work efficiently beneath both cranes and trucks.
