Questions before you start.

Does this page imply a local UpRate office?

No. Locations describe the intended reader and a source-scoped operational example, not an office, local endorsement or authority integration.

Does a booking approve permissions or lift planning?

No. The responsible people confirm site access, permissions, equipment suitability and safe lifting arrangements externally. UpRate organises the commercial and operational records.

Which workflow should a team in Cambridge start with?

Start with the task you need: enquiries and customer records, Quotes where enabled, owned follow-ups, crane and crew allocation, timesheet review or invoice preparation. Use the UK task links below for the product detail; the local operating decision remains external.

The Cambridge question to settle before booking

Cambridgeshire lists road-space booking and crane oversail licensing as separate highway services. Confirm the service that fits this operation; tower-crane guidance does not settle mobile-crane requirements.

For Cambridge highway work, Cambridgeshire’s separate road-space and crane-oversail services are a reason to clarify the proposed operation before choosing an application. Do not treat a tower-crane form as proof that the mobile-crane arrangement has been settled. Ask where equipment will stand, what road space is affected and who is confirming the applicable process. Keep the proposed start as an enquiry detail while that question is open. After external confirmation, review the whole attendance period with the crane and operator allocation. The office handover should identify the site contact and remaining decisions rather than merely repeating the postal address. A schedule amendment cannot replace the relevant highway arrangement.
