Steve Foster started as a self employed Steel Erector in 1977, when he bought his first mobile crane, he was able to use this machine, a 7 tonne Hydracon, for the erection of small Industrial and Agricultural buildings, as word spread, he started to offer the crane and operator for hire, and so Steve Foster Crane Hire was born.
As part of our services, we are able to offer Mobile Crane Hire, under CPA Hire terms and conditions and under this arrangement you must have the necessary personnel, experience and ability to plan and supervise the lifting operation in accordance with the 'Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998' (LOLER98).

We used Steve Foster Cranes to position our roof trusses on our renovated home after recommendations from several companies.
The service was excellent from start to finish. Mark, the crane operator was fantastic and went the extra mile positioning our trusses where we needed them, assisting our builders and suggesting ideas. Very prompt and reliable with a competitive price. Would definitely recommend!

Having used Steve Fosters for some years now it is only right we give them a 5* review... Their service has been faultless and it has enabed us to carry out some large installations and removals very smoothly. A well organised and efficient team who we already recommend to anyone in need of a crane.

What an amazing experience we had today from the chaps at Steve Foster Cranes. The service from start to finish was exemplary and the good nature, calming words and pure professionalism shone through today on… an unconventional lift. We would highly recommend Steve Foster and his team for single residential lifts as well as all of the larger industrial size lifts that they are also so well renowned for!

Really impressed with Steve. He helped us lift a truss roof on a new build over the last couple of days with one of his small cranes. He was very patient and helpful - would definitely recommend.
