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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh question to settle before booking

Edinburgh lists mobile crane operation in public streets among activities requiring a road occupation permit. Distinguish street occupation from parking-bay suspension and confirm the agreed window.

For an Edinburgh street job, keep the requested attendance separate from the confirmed occupation window. Ask whether the work also needs a parking arrangement, who is responsible for obtaining it and who will tell the desk about a changed condition. The person ordering the crane may not be the person managing the street. Use their confirmed details when reviewing the contract and assignment. If a window moves, consider arrival, setup and removal before reallocating the same operator to another job. Vehicle access is a separate check from occupation permission. Retain the agreed job context for timesheet review without treating a permit period as proof of the hours worked.

Your next job.
A little simpler.
