IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY

All Conquip products, solutions and services are created and produced to improve efficiency.

Explore how smarter planning, correct usage, and innovative solutions can help all types of construction sites and complex projects run smoothly.

We’ve pulled together practical tips, just a few examples and expert knowledge on how our customers, contractors and industry professionals can save time and boost productivity on-site.

PLANNING PRECISION

Early engagement involves suppliers and contractors working together during the earliest stages of project planning, often at the bid phase. This partnership means suppliers can assess project requirements holistically and implement tailored, coordinated solutions to overcome challenges. The benefits of this proactive approach include:

Improved buildability: Clear sequencing enables smoother installation, reducing complexity and on-site challenges.

Site management: From set-up to ongoing running, our extensive range of equipment helps contractors to organise operations, improve fuel management and security, protect operatives with facilities and equipment and stay compliant to meet safety and environmental standards.

Cost and time savings: Eliminating inefficiencies while meeting project budgets and timelines.

Streamlined logistics: Reducing delays and improving workflows, when logistics are seamless it is noticeable in every part of a project.

Enhanced safety: Identifying and mitigating risks before they occur.

Sustainability improvements: Improved sequencing reduces CO₂ emissions and unnecessary equipment usage and manufacturing.

TIME-SAVING INNOVATIONS

When it comes to moving 100,000m³ of spoil across 8,333 truckloads, the Smart-Release BulkX leaves the clamshell excavator in the dust.

Speed: Cuts project time in half, saving 17.5 weeks.
Cost: Reduces overall costs by 12%, equating to £40,898.
Safety: Fail-safe design eliminates risks of falling materials.
Efficiency: Faster completion means less CO₂ emissions.

Need a logistics productivity boost on your RC frame, shaft project or steel frame structure? Meet the CantiDeck...

CantiDeck is a temporary cantilevered crane loading platforms that simplify material lifting, improves safety, and ultimately boost productivity on your construction site. These platforms reduce manual handling risks, cut project timelines, and streamline the entire loading process.

CUSTOMER-DRIVEN APPROACH

What’s Really Holding Back Productivity on Site?

We asked, and you answered. Across Conquip surveys in 2025, three major roadblocks to site productivity were identified:

Poor site management (83%) - The biggest disruptor to worker efficiency.
Unforeseen site conditions (50%) - A huge challenge for keeping projects on schedule.
Storage space limitations (57%) - The biggest logistical issue affecting productivity.

These challenges aren’t just frustrating—they slow down progress, increase costs, and create unnecessary risks. But they’re not impossible to solve.

We work alongside construction teams to help optimise site logistics, improve material handling, and create safer, more efficient work environments. By focusing on smarter site planning, storage, and equipment solutions, we can help keep projects running smoothly.

IMPROVING UPTIME

Dealing with too much wasted material like shingle, sand and aggregate? Take a look at the Excavator Drag Skip.

We designed, tested with a leading groundworks contractor, manufactured and now offer the Drag Skip in multiple sizes to travel with the excavator, so materials go where the machine goes. Doing this reduces the need to track back and forth from stockpiles and prevents material wastage too.

Looking for faster, higher tipping of waste and materials without manual handling from operatives? The Autolock Tipping Skip was developed for these reasons. There’s no need for hands-on contact during load, unload and tipping action, increasing the speed of tipping. Plus, the skips can be pushed, crane-lifted or forklifted, depending on the model.

Need to reduce the number of lift plans? The XXL Lifting Cage was developed in response to lifting regulations from a few years ago. With every lifting operation needing a lift plan, this single, large cage holds up to six standard-sized pallets at a time. One lift plan, easy loading and unloading, reduced manual handling and reduced crane time.
