I've got a decent crane and load leveller sat in my garage that barely ever gets used, but I'm loathed to sell it. Whats the legal situation with renting it out? I know loads of people do it, but what if something goes wrong and the hirer sues me?

You'd need indemnity insurance, public liability insurance and LOLER certificates for it - not to mention the logistics of shifting it round, I'd imagine most people would want delivery.

Unless it's something special you can charge the earth for, I wouldn't bother.
You'll be in competition with household rental companies who can absorb the costs of idiots customers abusing it, breaking stuff and leaving it out in the rain.
Ever lent a tool to a mate and not been happy with how they've used it or the state it's in when they've handed it back? I know I have!
