Heavy Lifting & Crane Operations Insurance
Specialist protection for high-risk operations
Crane hire and heavy-lifting businesses manage valuable equipment, complex lifts and significant responsibility on every job. Equipment damage, load loss, third-party property damage or an onsite incident can expose the business to substantial costs. JL Insurance helps crane operators and heavy-lifting contractors arrange insurance programs that reflect their equipment, contracts and operating risks.
Cover that carries the weight
Standard business insurance may not adequately address the specialised exposures involved in lifting operations.
Depending on the insurer, policy and options selected, your program may include:
Business Insurance
Business Interruption Insurance
Cyber Protection Insurance
Management Liability Insurance
Marine Transit Insurance
Public & Products Liability Insurance
On-Hook (Goods on Hook) Liability
Industrial Special Risks /Plant & Equipment
Understanding each lift and contract
Crane capacity, lifting activities, equipment values, site conditions and the type of property being lifted can all affect the protection required.
Contract terms may also transfer responsibility for loads, site damage, delays or other liabilities to the crane operator. Some assumed liabilities may not be automatically covered.
JL Insurance can review the insurance implications of your contracts, assess your broader risk profile and help arrange an appropriate insurance program.
Support from the ground up
As equipment, operators and contracts change, JL Insurance provides proactive servicing to help keep your cover aligned with the business.
If an incident occurs, we assist with the claim and communicate with insurers on your behalf, providing support when your business needs it most.
