GGR Group is a leading provider of CPCS A66 crane training, as well as RTITB certified vacuum lifter training. Courses can be taken at either our northern or southern depots and will provide you with a mix of theory and hands on practical training. For details of course dates please contact our depots.

GGR Group is an official accredited test centre for CPCA A66 mini crane training, therefore we cannot train on site. We can only provide familiarisation in exceptional cases. Please contact us for further details.

Familiarisation – is not formal training and does not result in any accreditation.
Training – comes with CPCS A66 accreditation and this card is often requested by UK Contractors.

We have a range of mini cranes, pick and carry cranes and other lighting solutions available to hire from any of our depots in Glasgow, Manchester and Long Crendon. We also deliver to site. Please call us today to find out more.

No we do not open on a Saturday. If you wish to off-hire your equipment for the weekend, you will need to contact the relevant depot on a Friday to off-hire the kit. We will collect the kit on the following Monday. Any equipment left on site, even once off-hired, must be kept secure and safe. Any equipment damaged or stolen that is left on site is the responsibility of the client.

No, we cannot service the cranes on site. All cranes need to be serviced in our depots.

If you have hired a crane from us and it breaks down on site, please call the depot or email help@ggrgroup.com and we will send out an engineer to fix the crane.

All our hire equipment, with the exception of our mini cranes and pick & carry cranes, will need to be repaired at our depots.
If your equipment breaks down, please contact the depot you hired the equipment from and we will be happy to help.
