Specialist Lifting & Logistics for Rail, Highways & Port Infrastructure
Transport networks are the backbone of the UK’s economy — and maintaining them requires the safe, precise and efficient movement of heavy and often awkward assets. LIG supports rail, highways and port operators with end‑to‑end lifting, logistics and site access solutions for signalling equipment, gantries, VMS signs, lighting columns, REB units, modular plant and port‑side equipment.
These environments demand a partner who can operate confidently within possessions, night works, public‑realm areas and high‑risk operational zones. LIG brings the engineering discipline, specialist equipment and safety culture required to deliver safely and predictably in these conditions.
Built for Complex Transport Environments
Transport infrastructure presents a unique combination of challenges: restricted access, time‑critical works, public‑realm interfaces and strict safety requirements. LIG’s approach is shaped around these realities.
We specialise in handling heavy, tall and awkward assets – gantries, lighting columns, REB units, signalling cabins, that often need to be lifted or manoeuvred in environments where space is limited and safety is paramount. Our fleet includes mobile cranes, HIABs, mini cranes, tracked carriers and MEWPs, giving us the flexibility to design the safest and most efficient method for each site.
Planning is essential in transport environments. Every lift is supported by in‑house engineering, BS7121‑compliant lift plans, RAMS, route surveys and stakeholder coordination. This ensures that even the most complex operations are delivered safely and predictably.
Rail Infrastructure Lifting
Rail projects often take place during possessions or night works, requiring precise sequencing and strict safety controls. LIG supports the movement of signalling cabins, REB units, trackside equipment and modular plant, providing cranage, internal movement and full engineering support.
Highways Asset Installation
Highways projects involve lifting and installing gantries, VMS signs, lighting columns and smart motorway equipment. LIG provides HIAB delivery, cranage, traffic management and controlled placement, ensuring safe installation in live traffic environments.
Port & Intermodal Logistics
Ports and intermodal hubs require precise lifting and movement of heavy equipment in busy operational areas. LIG supports the movement of port‑side plant, modular units and logistics equipment, operating safely within high‑risk environments.
