Rutland Cranes was contacted on a Tuesday afternoon with an urgent request: remove a chimney structure in Grantham — “yesterday”. With peak season in full swing and limited crane availability, this job demanded rapid response, creative coordination, and serious determination.

The Challenge

  • Last-minute request during the busiest time of year
  • No crane pre-booked or site prep in place
  • Need to survey, plan, and execute within 24 hours
  • High expectations from client under tight pressure

Our Solution

Within 40 minutes of the initial call, our Appointed Person was on site conducting a full lift survey. Despite limited availability, we secured a Liebherr LTC1050-3.1 mobile crane through a network of trusted business partners.

Our team coordinated logistics, lift planning, and site setup overnight to ensure the job could proceed safely and efficiently the next morning.

The Outcome

  • Chimney removed within 24 hours of first contact
  • No delays, no complications — just fast, professional delivery
  • Client thrilled with the result and impressed by our responsiveness
  • Another example of Rutland Cranes Lifting The Standards
