CPA Contract Lifting Crane Hire
Under the terms of a standard CPA Contract Lift, the crane/equipment, operator and all personnel supplied with the crane (including the Appointed Person) are the responsibility of the Crane Owner.
The Crane Owner is responsible for all aspects of the planning and execution of the lift and will provide the following insurance cover:
- Loss of or damage to plant/equipment caused solely by the owners’ negligence in the performance of the lifting contract.
- Loss of or damage to third party property caused solely by the owners’ negligence in the performance of the lifting contract subject to:
- A maximum liability of £10,000 in respect of goods being lifted.
- A maximum liability of £2,000,000 in respect of loss of or damage to third party property or death/injury to third party persons.
- (These limits can be increased on request and additional premiums will be charged accordingly.)
It is important to note that a CPA Crane Hire agreement only becomes a CPA Contract Lift when the crane owner supplies the Appointed Person and hence, accepts liability for planning and supervising the lift.
Under Contract Lift conditions, the Customer still retains certain liabilities and therefore must have the adequate Public Liability / Hired in Plant insurance in place at all times.
Specifying the correct type of contract will ultimately improve safety and ensure that the correct system of work is adopted.
