Why Do You Need Plant Machinery Insurance?
Operating heavy machinery isn’t without its risks. From theft and accidental damage to and liability claims, the right insurance is an effective way to minimise costly disruptions, unexpected expenses, and project delays.
Here’s an example: A contractor’s brand-new excavator was stolen from a remote site overnight. Because they had excavator insurance, and their machine was new they received the replacement value of the machine and were able to hire a replacement—meaning their project stayed on track and remained a success.
