Crane Insurance
Crane insurance typically refers to physical damage to the crane itself. If you rent cranes, you need crane rental insurance with a limit high enough to cover the rental.
General Liability
General liability for a crane or rigging company covers bodily injury and property damage. The cost of general liability for a crane company is based on revenues, scope of work, and location. The premium can vary greatly depending on State laws where you operate. Typical GL limits are $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate. However, limits of $2 mlllion / $4 million are sometimes available.
Umbrella & Excess Liability
Many construction contracts require an umbrella or excess liability policy. Umbrella policies generally provide additional limits over both auto and general liability, while excess liability provides higher limits over only GL. The cost of an umbrella or excess policy for a construction company depends on many factors. Most contracts in larger cities require contractors to carry a minimum umbrella limit of $5 million.
Workers Compensation
Workers compensation is mandated in nearly every state. A work comp policy provides benefits for employees injured on the job. The rates for operators can be quite significant due to riskier nature of construction and cranes in particular. It’s very important to have a knowledgeable broker to help you properly classify your payroll.
