protection against loaning equipment

What is the name of your state? Ohio

My family runs a small glazing contract business. We own a couple of lifts, such as a scissor lift for large jobs and often other contractors on sites want to borrow our equipment. We have no problem with this, however, we need to be able to protect ourselves if they should be injured on our equipment or damage our equipment in some way. Do we need them to sign a disclaimer, send a copy of their insurance or what? If I create a general disclaimer, would it hold up in court if something should happen?

Go to Taylor Rental, Caterpillar or any other big chain that rents equipment. See what they have you sign. I'm sure that they put a lot of thought in to their disclaimers and contracts.
