The projects may change. The equipment may evolve. But the fundamentals stay the same.

Careful planning. Safe operations. Reliable delivery.

They're the principles that have guided King Lifting for over 40 years and continue to shape every project we undertake.

Lifting three African elephants isn’t your everyday job!

King Lifting recently supported Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol with the safe relocation of three bulls, each weighing around 2.8 tonnes, as part of an internationally coordinated conservation programme.

Shaka moved from Noah’s Ark to Howletts Wild Animal Park, where he’ll take on the role of dominant bull within an established herd.
Impi & Mchumba arrived from Howletts to join Noah’s Ark’s bachelor group alongside Janu, Sutton and Uli, settling into the UK’s largest elephant habitat.

This move supports the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP), mirroring the natural life cycle of male elephants and helping ensure the long‑term welfare and sustainability of the species.

Our team worked closely with the expert keepers and vets at both zoos to deliver a smooth, safe, and meticulously planned lift; a brilliant example of engineering, animal care, and conservation coming together.

Proud to play our part in a project that truly makes a difference.

Working in a city centre means every metre counts.

Limited space. Busy roads. Surrounding buildings. Tight schedules.

Recently, we shared a look at a tower crane dismantling project in Canary Wharf, where success depended on detailed planning long before the first crane arrived on site.

Because when space is limited, preparation becomes your most valuable piece of equipment.

Well done to Roy Culverwell for winning May's Photo of the Month!

Great photo of one of our 60T Liebherr cranes doing precision maintenance work on a Virgin Atlantic aircraft at Heathrow Airport.

Aviation projects demand precision, strict safety compliance, and seamless coordination within highly regulated, live operational environments.

When projects get bigger and more complex, capability matters.

That’s why we continue to invest in high-capacity cranes designed for demanding lifts, heavy infrastructure work, and complex engineering environments.

More capacity. More flexibility. More control where it counts. https://www.kinglifting.co.uk/fleet/

Safety works best when it’s part of everyday thinking, not a separate checklist.

That’s the idea behind our “Safety Starts With Me” approach, built around speaking up, stepping back when something doesn’t look right, and taking responsibility for keeping everyone safe.

Because in lifting, the safest decision is always the most important one. https://www.kinglifting.co.uk/health-and-safety/
