A Potentially dangerous piece of building equipment

Cranes are safe piece of building equipment when operated carefully and professionally. However, crane accidents can occur for many predictable, and maybe not so predictable, reasons. It’s therefore crucial to have crane-specific insurance and risk solutions in place. As an employer, you know that your employees, and even passersby, are put at risk whenever the crane is operated. If a load is accidentally dropped, it can result in catastrophic injuries and even death. Immeasurable damage and loss of life could also occur if an unstable crane topples over. If one of these unpredictable accidents happen it can result in legal action which could heavily impact your company. As an employer, you need crane-specific insurance and risk engineering solutions from a partner that specializes in your industry. You need someone who knows your risks and has the tools best fit to proactively address them head-on.

Theft and Damage

Theft within the crane industry is a growing problem, with professionally organized and highly skilled thieves shifting their attention to large machines like cranes. It’s important to have the proper insurance coverage with a partner that truly knows the worth of your equipment in case you’re ever faced with having to replace a stolen or damaged crane. A busy building site with heavy loads exposes your equipment to the risk of damage. Having a multi-line and crane-specific insurance plan in place is the right place to start in insuring your cranes against unexpected dangers such as vandalism or fire damage. More so, implementing proactive and loss prevention risk engineering solutions can help side-step any risk of damage or theft to your equipment in the first place.

Applying for crane contractors insurance

As a business owner, you want to get those valuable jobs while protecting your net worth. It’s important to get the proper crane insurance products to match smart risk management techniques. Application for the crane contractor insurance must include values of the equipment, the combined values for payroll, the average values of the property being hoisted, crane rentals with and without operators, millwright receipts and the highest value nobs for the last 3-4 years. The insurance company should also be provided with prior claims in order to allow for assessment of the risk and exposures.
