Crane Hire or Contract Lift?
Crane Hire
In a Crane Hire arrangement the crane and operator will work to the client's instructions
The client is to plan the lift, select a suitable crane, specify the slinging and signalling arrangements, supervise the lift and be responsible for the lifting operation
When the crane arrives at the lift location the crane operator should not start the lifting operation until he has seen the lift plan and discussed it with the supervisor. The competent person has the responsibility for ensuring the lift plan is adequate but the crane driver will need to be satisfied that it covers all the necessary elements. This should not be interpreted as the crane operator taking responsibility for the planning of the job. In a similar manner if a representative from the crane company visits the site to gather information for the rigging of the crane or to assist the client in the selection of the crane then this should not be interpreted as taking responsibility for planning the overall lifting operation.
When hiring in the client should ensure it has sufficient Insurance to cover:
- Loss or damage to the crane/vehicle/equipment whilst on site under the customers control
- Loss or damage to the goods being lifted
- Continuing hire charges whilst the crane/vehicle/equipment is off the road for repairs following damage
- Injury to Owner's driver/operator and/or other employees whilst on site
- Injury to other parties, including damage to their property arising from the crane operations
- Loss or damage to the goods being lifted.
Contract Lift
The crane owner is responsible for all aspects of the planning and execution of the lift and will provide insurance cover for the following:
- Loss/damage to the plant/equipment caused solely by the Owner's negligence in the performance of the lifting contract.
- Loss/damage to third party property caused solely by the Owner's negligence in the performance of the lifting contract subject to;
- a maximum liability of £25,000 for the goods being lifted irrespective of the number of items being lifted/handled and
- a maximum of £5,000,000 in respect of loss or damage to other property and injury to persons
(These limits can be increased on request subject to an increase in the hire rate.)
We recommend that customers who are not experienced in hiring cranes take the contract lift option to give them peace of mind that their liabilities have been covered and they are getting the safest solution to their lifting requirements.
