Understanding Plant and Machinery Insurance
Understanding Plant and Machinery Insurance: Protecting Your Investments
For builders, tradesmen, and contractors, plant and machinery insurance is an essential safeguard for your business. Whether you’re operating diggers, dumpers, or cranes, your equipment is vital for keeping projects on schedule. But what happens when the unexpected strikes, – such as theft, accidental damage, or breakdown? That’s where plant insurance steps in.
Why Is Plant and Machinery Insurance Important?
Your machinery represents a significant investment, and repairing or replacing it can be expensive. Without proper protection, an incident could lead to financial strain, project delays, or even the loss of contracts.
Here’s why having plant insurance in the UK is a smart move:
- Theft and Vandalism: The UK construction industry loses millions each year due to stolen equipment. The right policy protects you against these losses.
- Accidental Damage: On-site or in transit, machinery is at constant risk.
- Breakdowns and Malfunctions: A sudden failure could disrupt your schedule and finances.
- Third-Party Liability: If your equipment causes injury or property damage, you could face significant legal costs
Do You Need Equipment Hire Insurance?
If you hire machinery rather than own it, you could still be liable for any damage or theft during the hire period. Equipment hire insurance covers these risks, helping you avoid unexpected costs and potential disputes with plant hire companies.
