Crane Insurance — Specialist Cover Considerations

Crane insurance is a specialist area within the broader plant and equipment insurance market. The combination of high asset values, complex operational risks, third party liability exposure during lifting operations, and the specific regulatory requirements around crane operation in Australia means that a generic plant policy is rarely adequate for crane owners and operators.

Crane Owner vs Crane Hire Insurance

Crane owners who operate their own cranes require different cover to hire companies that hire cranes out to third parties. Hire company policies need to address the liability exposure when the crane is under the control of a hirer — including damage caused by the hirer’s riggers and dogmen and third party property damage during hire operations. Owner-operators need cover that reflects the full operational profile of the crane including the lifting operations themselves.

Third Party Liability During Lifting Operations

Crane lifting operations — particularly in urban environments or near occupied structures — carry significant third party property damage liability. A load swing, a rigging failure or a structural collapse during a lift can cause catastrophic damage to adjacent buildings, vehicles and infrastructure. Public liability limits for crane operations should reflect the worst-case third party exposure for the locations and lift types involved. WebInsure arranges crane liability through specialist underwriters who understand lifting operation risk.
