We recommend that customers who are not experienced in hiring cranes and therefore are not aware of the responsibilities, duties and risks take advantage of our CPA Contract Lift service. Specifying the correct contract will improve safety and ensure the the correct system of work is adopted.
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.
Under CPA Contract Lift Conditions of Hire, Bernard Hunter Mobile Cranes would provide the necessary Appointed Person, competent Slingers, Method Statement / Lifting Plan, Risk Assessment and adequate insurance for the lifting operation.
Bernard Hunter Mobile Cranes is responsible for all aspects of the planning and execution of the lift and will provide insurance cover for the following:
