Independent lift studies, method statements and Appointed Person sign-off for refineries, power plants and industrial sites. We engineer the lift. We do not own or hire out cranes.
JMR Lifting Solutions & Engineering is a specialist heavy-lift engineering consultancy. We plan, engineer, and prepare lift documentation for the world's most complex lifts — refinery reactor changeouts, offshore module installations, tandem upending of pressure vessels, and turnkey transport of oversized industrial components.
Every project begins with engineering, not equipment. Load paths, ground bearing pressures, wind envelopes, and rigging geometry are resolved in our engineering office before a single crane ever rolls onto site.
Coordinated dual-crane vertical erection of pressure vessels, columns, and reactors up to 1,800 tonnes. Fully engineered load path from horizontal to vertical.
Route, ground-bearing and set-down calculations for oversized loads. We write the engineering. We do not own transporters or run the convoy.
In-house rigging engineering — from lift plans and pad-eye design to spreader beams and custom lifting frames. FEA-verified, insurer-accepted, code-compliant.
Pre-project assessments, ground bearing studies, and method statements accepted by tier-1 EPC contractors and international insurers.
Scroll through the animation to see how a tandem lift transforms a horizontal pressure vessel into its final vertical position — hooks descend, slings tension, and the load rotates around a fixed trunnion.
From a crane operator in India (2005) to a LEEA Certified Appointed Person in Angola (2025) — every role climbed the ladder of lifting engineering. Photos below are from active field operations across three continents.
Full project references shared confidentially on request. All operations conducted under BS 7121 / LOLER / ASME B30 discipline.
Request an engineered lift studyThese PDFs show section order — load data, crane duty, chart check, rigging, ground bearing, L×S risk, method. Figures are illustrative. They are not signed operational plans and they are not records of a named job. A live study is calculated for that load, that crane and that ground, then signed.
Site walk, load path modelling, ground bearing analysis, and initial rigging concept. Delivered in 5 working days.
Full method statement, FEA-verified rigging design, crane selection, HIRA, and insurer submission. Peer-reviewed, insurer-accepted.
Full documentation pack — lift plan, rigging register, HIRA, method statement — delivered PDF and native. Remote availability through the lift for hold-point questions.
Post-lift review of as-executed feedback from your team, plus the full engineering pack — signed, sealed, archived.
Attach your GA drawing, vessel weight, foundation coordinates, and target date. You'll receive a preliminary lift study within 5 working days — free of charge, no obligation.
