Wabtec Developments Ltd — Hiab hire in Buxton
Based in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire
Hiab hire in Buxton
Wabtec Developments Ltd provides Hiab hire, lorry-mounted crane hire and contract lifting across Stockport, Glossop, Buxton, Macclesfield and the surrounding High Peak, Derbyshire, Cheshire and South Manchester areas. Based in Whaley Bridge, we offer a personal, practical lifting service for domestic, commercial, agricultural and industrial customers.
We lift, move and position a wide variety of materials, machinery, equipment and other loads. Typical jobs include steel beam and timber lifting, roof truss positioning, block-and-beam floor installation support, building materials, water tanks and hot tubs. These are examples rather than a complete list—whether you have a single item, an unusual load or something difficult to reach, contact us to discuss your requirements.
We also provide crane support for engineering companies, machinery service engineers, fitters and maintenance teams. Services include machinery lifting and positioning, plant installation and removal, equipment relocation, and handling heavy components during servicing, repairs and replacement work. We welcome enquiries for lifting motors, pumps, gearboxes, generators, workshop equipment and agricultural machinery, supporting planned maintenance, breakdown repairs and installation projects.
Our short-wheelbase Volvo crane vehicle features a demountable flatbed, allowing it to operate as either a rigid crane truck or an articulated tractor unit to suit the job. Equipped with a PM45SP crane and fly jib, it combines manoeuvrability, extended reach and flexible load-carrying options. Lifting capacity depends on reach and configuration, with every job assessed for load weight, lifting radius, vehicle access, ground conditions and stabiliser space.
Crane hire with an operator and planned contract lifts are available, supported by ALLMI-qualified personnel and site-specific lift planning to suit the agreed work. We can coordinate lifting operations with your engineers, builders, fitters or installation team.
From a single garden lift to crane support for a construction or industrial maintenance project, speak directly to Will Bryan about what you need lifting and where it needs to go. Send the site postcode, photographs, load weight and dimensions, and the intended lifting position so we can assess the job and provide a quotation.
