In addition, under CPA Model conditions, the Customer must provide the following insurance cover:

-
Continuing hiring charges whilst the equipment is unable to work as a result of loss or damage.
-
Legal Liability – injury to the driver/operator whilst under the supervision and control of the Customer along with injury to third parties, including damage to their property, arising from the crane operations.
For hires under CPA crane hire agreements, it is important to note the following:
The Customers’ Appointed Person must have the knowledge, understanding of and training in all aspects of the lifting operation.
The Crane Owner must supply a competent operator and a crane fit for the intended purpose.

It may be necessary to arrange additional insurance when hiring mobile cranes especially due to the high values of some equipment. This can be arranged by us on behalf of the Customer.
