What is Crane Insurance?

Crane insurance is a dedicated form of cover designed to meet the needs of businesses that hire, lease, or own cranes and other lifting equipment.  A flexible, comprehensive policy, crane insurance can insure your equipment and your operators and cover your public liability insurance needs.

What does crane insurance cover?

Crane and mobile crane insurance can offer a range of protections. The exact makeup will depend on the policy you take out, but generally speaking, the options are:

  • Comprehensive – which covers damage to your equipment or someone else’s regardless of who is at fault
  • General liability – this protects you against damage to property or injury claims made by a third party
  • Theft and accidental damage
  • Goods on the hook insurance – of upto £50,000
  • Crane liability – which covers things like loads accidentally dropping, overhead power cables being brought down, or the crane toppling over owing to rain softening the ground it stands on
  • Equipment floater – this covers equipment from while being transported between jobs and includes theft, so it’s particularly useful for mobile crane operators
  • Rented equipment – should your crane breakdown and you need to rent one, this will cover rental costs
  • Auto liability – covers mobile cranes while driven on public roads
  • Crane operator’s insurance – a toppled crane or a dropped load can cause serious injuries to those working on or near a site. Crane operator’s insurance is a form of employers’ liability insurance, which can lessen the financial impact if you face a personal injury claim from a crane operator or another employee

Does a crane need insurance?

Given the complex environments in which cranes operate – such as construction sites, marinas, and highway maintenance – and the dangerous nature of the work, having adequate insurance protection is vital.

Construction firms and other companies that have a range of plant equipment will often take out plant insurance, but if you only have a crane or mobile crane that needs insuring, then crane insurance might be a better option for you as it can protect you from:

  • Crane liability and damage to property
  • Injury to employees through employers’ liability insurance
  • Theft
  • Ongoing hire charges
  • Accidental damage
  • Malicious damage
  • Road risks
  • Goods on the hook

How much does crane insurance cost?

The cost of your crane insurance will depend on factors such as:

  • The number of cranes or mobile cranes you have – if you have two or more, you may want to consider a plant insurance policy 
  • The value of your cranes 
  • The nature of your business and the work you do – whether you’re operating in confined spaces such as inner-city construction sites or on motorway maintenance, you will be faced with a number of potentially challenging risks
  • Where is your equipment stored at night 
  • Your claims history
