LOLER compliant lift plans, lift plan checking and Appointed Person services for construction projects across Warrington and Cheshire.
Lift planning across Warrington
Warrington is home — RMT Solutions is based at the M62/M6 junction and we work across the borough every week. The Omega logistics campus, the Birchwood industrial estate, the Lingley Mere office pipeline, the Stadium Quarter regeneration and the ongoing Warrington town-centre framework keep lifting demand consistently high. We provide LOLER compliant lift planning, lift plan checking and Appointed Person services to main contractors, specialist lifting firms and steel erectors across Warrington, Penketh, Birchwood, Lymm and the wider M62/M6 corridor.
Working in Warrington is straightforward — we know the access constraints around Stockton Heath, the operational realities of the Omega and Birchwood industrial estates, the Manchester Ship Canal interface south of the town centre, and the railway oversail issues that recur on town-centre sites. Same-day site attendance is standard for surveys, pre-lift briefings and unscheduled call-outs; standard lift plans are turned around in 24-48 hours.
From our Warrington base — practical for same-day site visits, surveys, and pre-lift briefings. Standard lift plans turned around within 24-48 hours of receiving project information.

“I have been using RMT Solutions on my last two schemes and have always found the service they provide to be first class in regards of appraising lifting plans to ensure that lifts on site are designed, planned, and fit for purpose. The service they provide is always concise and helpful for the issuer and the turnaround is always prompt and advice is always on the end of the phone.”

Lift planning in Warrington — common questions
Do you actually attend sites in Warrington, or is it all remote?
Both. We are 5 minutes from Warrington from our base in Warrington, so same-day attendance is practical for surveys, pre-lift briefings and audits. Most standard lift plans are still produced remotely from drawings and photographs, because that is faster and cheaper for you — we attend when the lift genuinely warrants eyes on the ground.
How quickly can you turn a lift plan around for a Warrington site?
Standard excavator, telehandler and lorry loader plans are issued within 24-48 hours of receiving the information. You will have a quote within 4 working hours of enquiring. Mobile crane plans that need a site visit take longer — typically 3-5 working days. If the lift is imminent, call 07803 808093 rather than emailing.
Do you charge more for work in Warrington?
No. Prices are the same wherever the site is — excavator and telehandler plans from £200 + VAT, lorry loader from £250 + VAT, mobile crane and complex lifts quoted individually. There is no travel surcharge inside the North West.
Will a plan from you be accepted by principal contractors in Warrington?
Every plan is signed off by a CPCS A61 Appointed Person and written to LOLER 1998 and BS 7121, which is the standard Tier 1 contractors review against anywhere in the UK. Our plans are used by contractors including Wates, Caddick and GMI. If a reviewer comes back with comments, dealing with them is part of the fixed fee rather than an extra.
Can you review a lift plan someone else has written for a Warrington project?
Yes — independent lift plan checking is a service in its own right and does not require us to have written the original. A CPCS A61 Appointed Person reviews the plan against LOLER 1998 and BS 7121, confirms the lift category, and returns written findings you can pass straight back to the submitting subcontractor. Turnaround is typically 24-48 hours.
Do I need my own Appointed Person if I am hiring a crane in Warrington on CPA terms?
Yes. Under a CPA crane hire agreement the crane company supplies the crane and operator only — planning the lifting operation and appointing a competent Appointed Person stays with you as the hirer. Under a contract lift the crane company takes that duty on instead. If you are on CPA terms and have no A61 holder available, that is exactly the gap an external Appointed Person fills.
