Plant & Machinery Insurance needs more cover options and benefits than a standard Commercial Motor Insurance Policy.

Agreed Value/Lease value protection, or Lease Payment protection.
Continuation of Business
Increased Cost of Working cover, or Consequential Loss cover.
Owner Protection Plus
Covering your interests should your vehicle be operated by an employee, outside the manufacturer’s specifications (E.g. Damage caused by accidentally lifting a load which is too heavy for the machine).
New for Old Replacement
For machines and motor vehicles purchased new and less than two years old.
Unspecified Attachments
A number of insurers say if not specified not covered. We can get unspecified attachments $10,000 or 10% of Sum Insured.
