Lifting & Handling Equipment Hire

Lifting and handling equipment is an essential component for any construction or industrial job site, providing workers with the necessary tools to move and handle materials and equipment with ease and safety. At YardLink, we offer a range of high-quality lifting and handling equipment, designed to meet the needs of contractors, builders, and other professionals in the industry.

We can source a variety of lifting and handling equipment including a range of hoists, cranes, and manual handling tools, each designed to meet different lifting and handling needs. Hoists are perfect for vertical lifting and moving heavy loads, while cranes are suitable for both vertical and horizontal movement, and manual handling tools, such as pallet jacks and trolleys, are designed for easy movement of smaller loads.

All available lifting and handling equipment is manufactured to the highest standards, using only the best quality materials. They are designed to be durable and reliable and come with comprehensive instructions and safety guidelines to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Always know what's on site. Never let inventory go to waste.

Gone are the days of requesting a live hire report from each supplier. Not to mention that they are no longer ‘live’ when they reach your inbox. In the YardLink platform, you can instantly generate a live hire report, across all suppliers, at a project level. Always know what’s on site, keep a close eye on equipment usage, and be aware of incoming deliveries and collections.
