Plant and Machinery Insurance Brokers

The correct equipment cover is often overlooked with business owners focusing their efforts in obtaining the Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurances required to meet contractual obligations. However, just as it is vitally important to have professionals check that the new equipment is in good working order, it’s important to ensure you receive the same level of professional advice when protecting your equipment over the long term. Sure, it can be easy to buy any contractor’s plant policy and assume that it will do what it’s supposed to, but it always pays to engage specialists to make sure that your insurance includes market leading cover with exceptional value. Ausure Horizon are ready with our dedicated and experienced team of advisors and insurance brokers to cover your plant and machinery providing the security that your business is well looked after following an unfortunate event and to reduce the risk of losing important machinery through an unexpected accident.

The Right Insurance Cover for Plant & Machinery Operators

Whilst a basic Plant and Machinery policy can protect the most obvious risks to your operations it is important to consider the wider risks faced by your industry. 

Public Liability can be less straight forward for those businesses in the Plant and machinery industry with businesses being presented with onerous contracts and tight timeframes it is important to ensure you have a policy designed with the work you do front of mind.

Our contractor plant and machinery policy can also extend to protect your company equipment from damage caused by mechanical breakdown. This can include the costs associated with the repair of your machinery and the Business Interruption costs incurred as a result of any downtime.

You also need to consider the equipment and machinery your employees use while on the job. This coverage is important since equipment can get damaged, lost, stolen or break down. In the worst-case scenario, when specialised equipment is damaged, lost or stolen, it could take many weeks to repair, or source a replacement. This can leave your business facing significant lengths of downtime, which is very costly. With a contractor’s plant and machinery insurance policy through Ausure Horizon you will know exactly where you stand so you can be rest assured that your machinery is in safe hands.
