CPA Hire vs. BS 7121 Contract Lift
Understanding your legal obligations when hiring a rotating telehandler with winch
- •Machine supplied under CPA Model Conditions for the Hiring of Plant (current edition).
- •Hirer is the "user" and bears responsibility for safe use, including appointing a competent Appointed Person (AP) under BS 7121.
- •Operator (if supplied) works under the hirer's direction — the hire company is NOT the principal contractor.
- •Thorough examination (LOLER) certificate supplied on-hire; hirer must plan lifts and produce method statements.
- •Suitable for routine material handling, MEWP basket work, and general site lifts within the machine's rated capacity.
- •The lifting company (not the hirer) takes FULL responsibility for planning, managing, and executing the lift.
- •Requires a written lift plan, Appointed Person, Crane Supervisor, and Slinger/Signaller — all employed by the lifting contractor.
- •Mandatory for any lift classified as "complex" under BS 7121-1:2016 — tandem lifts, blind lifts, lifts over live services, or personnel in the load path.
- •The lifting contractor carries Professional Indemnity insurance and is liable for the lift outcome.
- •If using a rotating telehandler as a crane (winch + fly jib), the lift plan must reference BS 7121-5 (mobile cranes) and the machine's crane-mode load chart.
If you are unsure whether your lift requires a CPA hire or a BS 7121 contract lift, call our dispatch team — we will assess the lift scope and advise on the correct procurement route at no charge.
