Earthmoving Equipment
Insurance

What is Earthmoving Equipment Insurance?
Depending on the insurer and policy selected, cover may include options such as public liability, accidental damage to plant and equipment or transit-related incidents. At Insuregroup, we assist businesses that utilise earthmoving equipment by helping them explore available insurance options suited to their specific needs.
Do you need Earthmoving Equipment Insurance?
General plant or commercial vehicle policies don’t always cover the specific challenges faced on earthworks sites, such as equipment damage, site hazards or breakdowns. Taking the time to review your insurance options, particularly with the help of a specialised broker, can help to ensure your cover reflects the way you operate.
