Third-party liability for cranes: what gets covered and what doesn’t

Cranes often operate near public zones, highways and active sites. Third-party incidents can escalate quickly, so we focus on coverage clarity and incident reporting discipline.

Where liability risk becomes real

Public movement near NH belts and toll stretches
Worksite zones with multiple subcontractors
Loading/unloading areas where people and vehicles mix

Where wording gaps happen

Mismatch between declared operation and actual usage
Site conditions and third-party exposure not reflected correctly
Delayed reporting and weak incident timelines

Dispute-proof habits

Maintain a clean incident timeline if something happens
Capture photos/videos immediately (as applicable)
Keep relevant notices/letters and share early

FAQs

Is liability automatically included in every crane policy?

Not always. What is included depends on the product/wording. We check the exposure vs wording so you don’t assume coverage that isn’t there.
