CPA CRANE HIRE
THE HIRER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
When hiring a crane, it is important to be aware that Horizon Reinforcing & Crane Hire Co Ltd operate under the Construction Plant-hire Association's standard crane hire contract. This clearly lays out the responsibilities of the hirer and the company.

The crane and operator become the responsibility of the company or individual hiring the equipment as soon as it leaves the public highway to access the site. Please note that this includes access roads if the site cannot be accessed immediately from the public highway.
THE HIRER MUST:
