Crane Specialists | Ascinsure
Ascinsure Specialty Risk offers a focused Crane & Riggers Insurance (Multi-Lines) program designed for crane rental companies, with or without operators, and for rigging contractors. Backed by over 30 years of crane-industry experience, Ascinsure provides targeted, practical solutions that address the operational liabilities and complex exposures unique to crane and rigging operations.
Delivered through a single carrier nationwide, this multi-line program removes the complexity of juggling separate markets for liability, auto, inland marine and workers’ compensation. As underwriting managers, Ascinsure’s team combines deep technical knowledge with responsive service to help you place accounts more quickly and simplify claims handling for your insureds.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program fits a broad range of crane-related operations, from small local rental shops to regional fleets. Target classes include:
- Crane rental companies (with or without operators)
- Rigging service providers
- Heavy equipment haulers
- Steel erection and structural lifting contractors
Ascinsure prefers accounts with demonstrated safety programs, qualified operators, and reasonable loss histories. Accounts working regularly on construction, infrastructure, or industrial sites are a natural fit. Examples you might submit: a regional mobile-crane fleet performing bridge work with routine third-party lifts, or a rigging contractor providing structural erection services with documented operator training.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Ascinsure’s packaged, all-lines approach reduces coverage gaps and streamlines administration by keeping related lines under one carrier. Standard components include:
- General Liability
- Rigger’s Liability
- Excess/Umbrella Liability
- Workers’ Compensation
- Commercial Auto
- Inland Marine
- Crime Coverage
Optional endorsements and adjustments are available to tailor limits and terms to specific operations. Placing multiple lines with a single carrier helps avoid coordination issues at claim time and simplifies policy servicing for agents and clients.
Underwriting Notes
Submissions are reviewed by underwriters who specialize in crane and rigging exposures. There is no published minimum premium; each account is evaluated on its operations, safety controls, loss history, and equipment schedule. Provide complete submissions—fleet details, operator qualifications, recent loss runs, and job types—to accelerate review and improve pricing accuracy.
