Understanding CPA Hire - Your Role vs. Ours
Choosing CPA Hire means entering into an agreement where the primary responsibility for the safe execution of the lift rests with you, the customer. Under the CPA Model Conditions for the Hiring of Plant, you are responsible for planning, supervising, and ensuring the overall safety of the lifting operation, including the welfare of the operator while on your site. Our role is to provide you with reliable, certified equipment and a skilled operator to work under your direction.
Your Responsibilities as the Hirer
While Cork Crane Hire takes on significant responsibility under a CPA Contract Lift, the customer plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful operation. You remain responsible for:
Adhere to all BS 7121 and LOLER 1998 standards during lifting operations.
Designate a qualified Appointed Person* with expertise in lift planning, risk management, and operational oversight.
Employ a certified Slinger/Signaller* to manage load safety and communication during lifts.
Develop and implement a Safe System of Work (SSOW) for every lift, including detailed planning and hazard mitigation.
Supply comprehensive Method Statements and Risk Assessments tailored to the specific lift and site conditions.
Verify crane suitability for the intended task, ensuring the hired equipment meets load capacity, reach, and site constraints.
Validate the crane hire company’s credentials, including LOLER test certificates, CPA compliance, and operator qualifications.
Cork Crane Hire'S RESPONSIBILITIES
While the operational control lies with you under CPA terms, we have essential duties to fulfill:
- We guarantee to provide a crane that is rigorously maintained, thoroughly tested, and holds all current certifications as required by industry standards.
- We supply a fully trained, certified, and competent crane operator* who will work professionally under the direction of your Appointed Person and Slinger/Signaller.
*as defined by CPA Model Conditions for the Hiring of Plant.
Essential Insurance Cover under CPA Terms
A crucial aspect of the CPA Hire agreement is that the customer (hirer) must arrange and maintain adequate insurance cover. This typically includes:
- Loss of, or damage to, our plant whilst on site.
- Loss of, or damage to, the goods being lifted.
- Continuing hire charges whilst the plant is ‘off the road’ for repairs following damage.
- Public liability, injury to operator, injury to other parties, including their property, arising from the crane operations.

In CPA Crane Hire, you (the customer) are responsible for the planning and safe execution of the lift, including providing the Appointed Person and slinger/signaller.
