Crane operator insurance refers to more than one coverage needed to operate a crane.

You may be a crane rental company that leases the crane without operators or a rigging company who is hired for use of your crane and operator.  If you are the rigger with the crane and the operator the insurance carrier will require that you have a contract that you have anyone sign who is renting your services to limit your liability and to state the scope of the work to be performed.

Our Crane program offers general lability coverage form provides the over the road coverage for your mobile equipment.  General liability coverage will protect a variety of claims, including bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury.  The motor vehicle law endorsement will then provide the auto coverages for Personal Injury Protection (PIP), uninsured motorist and medical payment coverages for mobile equipment.

Rigger’s liability insurance coverage is tailored for each client. 

Riggers liability insurance covers the damage to the property that is dropped from the crane.  Riggers are hired to lift generators, HVAC, telecom equipment that could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.    Coverage on the Rigger’s liability insurance includes items in your care, custody & control while in storage, in transit, in the rigging, lifting and 3rd party loss of use.
