Insurance
The hire of any item of plant or equipment is inevitably accompanied by risk either through accidental damage, theft or misuse. The financial implications for customers in the event of a serious incident are significant.
BS7121 - Safe Use of Cranes - notes the risks and highlights the need to protect against their consequences through comprehensive insurance cover.
City Lifting is able to offer a damage waiver on CPA hires which is specifically tailored to the crane hire market at an increased cost and rely on its own insurances.
