The difference between CPA hire and a Contract Lift:

CPA Hire

When you hire a crane and operator only, it is called a CPA Hire (Construction Plant Hire Association hire).  The crane and operator will work to your instructions, unless they deem it unsafe.  You have to plan the lift, select a suitable crane, specify the slinging and signalling arrangements, supervise the lift and be responsible for the lifting operation, (including the production of a Method Statement, Risk Assessment and Lift Plan which is to be shown and briefed to the driver).  You also have to arrange suitable hired in plant insurance for up to £600,000 (which would cover you for up to an 80 tonne crane).

Contract Lift

If a CPA Hire lift seems a huge responsibility or you do not have the personnel to do this, you can hire the services of a banksman to sling the load, or an appointed person to do a site visit and produce a method statement for you, or do the whole thing for you called a Contract Lift. A Contract Lift is where we will plan the lift, select a suitable crane, specify the slinging and signalling arrangements, supervise the lift and be responsible for the lifting operation, including the production of a Method Statement, Risk Assessment and Lift Plan. We also supply full contract lift insurance which covers on hook goods up to a value of £50,000. (Extra on hook insurance can be arranged to suit the value of the goods being lifted.)

 

Latest Crane

The LTM 1130-5.1 has a long and variable boom system with outstanding load capacities. With its ground-breaking technology, it is flexible and economical to operate. Because of its compact dimensions, the LTM 1130-5.1 can manoeuvre on confined building sites. Air-operated disc brakes, pioneered by Liebherr in mobile cranes, ensure that the crane operates safely and economically.
