The Lessee is responsible for ensuring that there is sufficient space at the assembly site for the erection and dismantling of the rented equipment. The Lessee is responsible for ensuring that the rented equipment can be dismantled after use, and the Lessee must therefore take this into account when designating the assembly site.

This requires, among other things, that there is sufficient space for the transport and loading equipment chosen by the Lessor, normally crane truck, truck, low-loader, forklift and, where applicable, mobile crane. The mobile crane must be capable of being positioned within a radius of 15 meters from the
assembly site. Reference shall always be made to the order confirmation, as each assembly/dismantling operation is different.

In connection with the erection and dismantling of cranes, the Lessee shall make personnel available. The Lessee is responsible for any assistance required during the assembly/dismantling. Where erection is carried out on a foundation, the foundation must be cast and cured. Where erection is carried out on an embedded mast/anchor, the mast/anchors must be embedded in the foundation and cured.

Where assembly is carried out on bogies, a minimum of 12
meters of crane track must be laid on a load-bearing surface. The above-mentioned works shall be carried out by the Lessee, who shall also bear the costs thereof.

6.7. Costs Arising from Preparation

If the Lessor assesses that one or more of the above conditions have not been met, the Lessor may, at the Lessee’s expense, either remedy the matter or suspend the assembly/dismantling.

In this connection, the Lessor may, among other things, order: levelling of the ground surface, additional auxiliary equipment such as a mobile crane, driving plates for the access road or machine foundation, temporary site power, etc.

Regardless of whether the Lessor remedies the matter or suspends the assembly/dismantling, the Lessee shall be obliged to pay all resulting costs in addition to those stated in the agreement, including waiting time, additional transport, cable rental, etc.

• or similar circumstances attributable to the above.

The insurance does not cover wear parts, fuses, chains, wires and other running gear.

The provisions regarding repair and maintenance are set out in clause 9 of these rental terms and conditions.

11.3. Deductible / Excess

The Advisor shall only be liable for the specific advice provided, and the Lessee shall therefore be responsible for the application of the advice provided.

The Advisor’s professional liability shall be limited to a maximum amount equal to the fee payable under the separate agreement. The aforementioned limitation of liability shall apply regardless of whether the Lessee’s ordering of the advisory service forms part of any other service ordered by the Lessee or by a third party, or not.

war, strikes, lockouts, accidents, fire, natural disasters, orders or prohibitions issued by public authorities, new or amended legislation, riots or civil unrest, exchange restrictions, reductions in the supply of goods or fuel, as well as defective or delayed deliveries from subcontractors due to the above-mentioned or similar circumstances, the parties shall be entitled to invoke such circumstances as grounds for release from the agreement.
