Business insurance
Insurance for Crane Hire Operators
Crane hire carries some of the highest stakes in the trades, so cover is broad and serious. Public and products liability protects against injury or property damage from lifting heavy loads over sites, while plant and machinery cover protects the cranes and trucks against damage, theft and breakdown. Workers' compensation is essential for operators, dogmen and riggers.
Premiums sit around the ~$2,500 mark and rise sharply with fleet value and the lifts you undertake. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review limits before the new financial year given how high the exposure is.
Common questions
Crane Hire Operators — insurance questions
What happens if a load is dropped or damages property?
Public and products liability cover responds to injury or property damage from your lifting work, which is exactly the high-stakes risk crane hire carries. Given the loads involved, make sure your liability limits are high enough for the sites you work on.
Is the crane itself covered if it is damaged?
Plant and machinery cover protects the cranes and trucks against damage, theft and breakdown. With machines worth six figures or more, this cover protects your single biggest asset and your ability to keep earning.
