Vanguard provide unique heavy lift solutions to complex project challenges, on a global scale. Working closely with our clients, we listen carefully to understand their exact requirements, then engineer and deliver bespoke solutions to fully meet their project needs.

Heavy Lift Equipment

Vanguard owns an extensive fleet of heavy lift equipment, allowing our team to fully manage projects from concept to completion. We design, engineer and plan each project in-house, utilising our own specialised equipment to execute the job while handling all aspects of project management.

Our fleet includes a variety of cranes and hydraulic gantry systems, as well as strand jack, jacking, and skidding systems. Amongst our crane fleet are Ormig pick and carry cranes, which have a concise design to handle loads in tight and restrictive spaces.
