Malin Abram are specialists in heavy lift.
Through feasibility studies, we work with clients pre tender to identify optimum solutions for handling, movement, lifting, shipping and installation. This significantly de-risks the tender phase by solving many operational issues at the earliest stage.
We offer full turnkey pricing on heavy lift projects, with the scope tailored fully to meet your needs. We can complete all operations on your behalf, from hiring all equipment (both open book and fixed price) as well as assessing the integrity of the equipment for handling. You may require third party review of shipping, craneage and heavy trailer operations and engineering, and we are on hand to help with this. In addition we can offer expertise in design, build and installation. This is teamed with full integrated project management of all services provided by all contractors involved in the heavy lift operation.
No matter the size or scope of your project, we are on hand to offer guidance and support.
Our mission is to "build innovately on the values and experience of our heritage, to be an expert partner to our clients on a global scale."
