Elevated Solutions for
Hoisting & Lifting
Because not everything
fits through the front door
Hedley’s Group hoisting and lifting services are designed for the challenging, the oversized, and the impossible.
From exterior furniture lifts to precision crane work and interior scaffold builds, our teams deliver safe, elegant solutions for getting your pieces exactly where they need to be.
Every project begins with a site assessment, detailed lift plan, and the right equipment for the job, ensuring your items move smoothly from ground level to their final placement with zero compromise to safety, structure, or craftsmanship.
-
Delicate, valuable, and often irreplaceable — fine art demands a different vocabulary of care. Our handlers combine rigging expertise with conservation-minded practice to safely hoist framed works, canvases, and heavy sculptures in challenging spaces. We assess weight, center of gravity, materials, and environmental risk to ensure the artwork arrives exactly as it left: flawless.
-
From oversized sofas to bespoke cabinetry, our teams manage every lift with precision and property-safe methods. Whether hoisting pieces to upper floors, maneuvering through tight access points, or coordinating exterior lifts, we protect finishes, walls, and architectural details at every stage. Each movement is planned, padded, and executed with care.
Grand, upright, or concert-grade, pianos require specialist handling. Our rigging crews use dedicated lifting straps, skid boards, protective wrapping, and controlled hoisting techniques to navigate stairs, balconies, tight turns, or upper-floor access. Every move is choreographed to safeguard both the instrument’s integrity and the surrounding property.
-
From stone benches and oversized planters to ornate fountains and modern water installations, outdoor pieces often demand specialized lifting techniques. Their weight, scale, and irregular forms can make standard access routes impossible. Our teams use cranes, exterior lifts, and padded rigging to maneuver each element safely into gardens, courtyards, terraces, and landscaped environments. Every placement is executed with attention to balance, terrain, and structural integrity — ensuring your outdoor spaces come together seamlessly and securely.
-
Oversized textile pieces may require rolling, crating, and vertical hoisting to reach mezzanines or upper floors without creasing or abrasion.
-
Large or delicate fixtures often must be hoisted into double-height spaces or positioned using interior scaffold. Precision lowering and alignment are critical to avoid strain on wiring and ceiling mounts.
-
Heavy stone pieces — mantels, countertops, sculpted stonework — require weight-balanced lifting and structural assessment. These often need cranes or scaffold-based rigging to position safely without stressing the material.
-
Oversized mirrors, architectural glass, and custom glazing require ultra-controlled movement. Their scale and fragility often make stairwells or elevators impossible, so glass-specific hoisting gear and padded cradles ensure safe vertical travel.
