Cover

What cranes need covered

Public & Product Liability

Lifting over live sites carries real exposure. This can cover injury or third-party property damage from a dropped load, a swinging load or contact with buildings, powerlines or vehicles.

Accidental Damage & Theft

Cranes are high-value machines. Cover can respond to accidental damage, overturning and losses in transit between jobs, along with theft of the crane or its rigging.

Machinery Breakdown

Winches, hydraulics, slew rings and electronic load-monitoring systems are costly to fix. Breakdown cover can pay for repair or replacement after a sudden failure.

Attachments & Rigging

Fly jibs, hook blocks, spreader bars, slings and other rigging can be listed so they are covered alongside the crane.

Dry Hire

Hiring the crane out without a crew is common. Dry hire cover can protect the machine while a third party operates it.

Downtime & Business Interruption

A crane off work can stall a whole job. This can help with the cost of a replacement machine and lost contract time after a covered loss.

Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.
