Your Responsibilities Under a CPA Contract Lift
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:
- Providing precise and accurate information regarding the items to be lifted, including their weight, dimensions, and any specific handling requirements.
- Supplying accurate details about the ground conditions at the lifting location, including any potential instability or underground services.
- Ensuring your company has adequate public liability insurance in place.
It is crucial to understand that a standard CPA Crane Hire agreement transitions into a CPA Contract Lift Hire agreement specifically when Cork Crane Hire provides the Appointed Person, thereby accepting comprehensive responsibility for all elements of the lifting operation.

What is the difference between CPA Crane Hire and CPA Contract Lift?
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. In a CPA Contract Lift, Cork Crane Hire takes full responsibility for all aspects of the lift, including providing the Appointed Person, slinger/signaller, planning, and risk assessments.
When should I choose a Contract Lift over standard crane hire?
You should consider a Contract Lift when you lack the in-house expertise or resources to plan and manage a complex or high-risk lifting operation. It provides peace of mind and transfers the responsibility for the lift’s safety and execution to the experienced professionals at Cork Crane Hire.
What safety measures are in place for Contract Lifts with Cork Crane Hire?
Safety is our top priority. For every Contract Lift, we conduct thorough site assessments, develop detailed Method Statements and Risk Assessments, provide competent personnel, ensure well-maintained and certified equipment, and adhere strictly to all relevant regulations and best practices.
Is Contract Lifting more expensive than standard crane hire?
While the overall cost of a Contract Lift may be higher than basic crane hire due to the inclusion of planning, personnel, and liability, it can be more cost-effective in the long run by mitigating risks, ensuring efficiency, and preventing potential delays or accidents.
