CPA Standard Crane Hire
When a user (hirer) chooses to hire a crane from a crane owner and manage (plan and
supervise) the lifting operation’s themselves, they are responsible for ensuring that there is a safe system of work in place and that all lifting operations are carried out safely. The crane owner has a duty to provide, on request, certain technical information about the crane such as outrigger loadings and duty charts to assist the user (hirer) with their planning. The crane owner also needs to be satisfied that a safe system of work, to which their crane operator will work, has been established.
It is essential when providing advice to a customer who has opted for a crane hire that
this is limited to technical matters such as access/egress for the crane on site, outrigger loads, duty charts and choice of crane (based on the weight of the load and other information, both provided by the customer). Advice must not be given on any
management issues, such as the provision of Risk Assessments and Method Statements. If the crane supplier does provide such information, there is a possibility that the crane supplier will be deemed to have carried out a de facto contract lift and to have taken responsibility for the lifting operation.
Vs
CPA Contract Lift Hire
Should the organisation requiring a load to be lifted (the customer) choose to opt for a contract lift, the planning, supervision and execution of the lifting operation’s will be carried out by the crane owner. In this case the customer has a duty to provide
information, such as ground bearing capacity and the weight of the load to be lifted, to the crane owner to assist them with their planning. As the customer is in control of the site and has access to the expertise required to assess the ground on which the crane will stand, they are responsible for assessment and preparation of the ground.
It is important to note that an CPA Crane Hire agreement only becomes an CPA Contract Lift when the crane owner supplies the Appointed Person/Crane Supervisor and hence, accepts liability for planning and supervising the lift.
