Plant and Machinery

We help you secure the tools of your trade.

In the trades industry, the right machinery and equipment aren’t just assets; they’re essential tools that keep your business operational. Because of this, getting insurance for your plant and machinery isn’t just a precaution — it’s a fundamental must-have for your business’ stability.

As every piece of equipment from bulldozers to excavators plays a pivotal role, ensuring they are protected can mean the difference between a minor setback and a major business interruption..

We also help simplify the process of insuring larger, heavier machinery.

At Tradesure, we provide comprehensive machinery and equipment insurance cover that’s tailored to the specific needs of the trades sector.

Given the variety of risks associated with heavy and critical machinery — from machinery breakdowns to accidental damage while in transit — the role of our insurance experts is to simplify the coverage registration process for you. Our expertise allows you to stop worrying and instead confidently focus on your projects, knowing that your major assets are protected against unforeseen incidents

Whether it’s a crucial piece of heavy machinery or other equipment critical to your operations, we’ve got you covered.

Equipment in transit

As your equipment moves from site to site, the risk of it being damaged increases. Our equipment in transit coverage protects your valuable assets against potential damages while on the move.

Portable tools and parts

Our portable tools and parts insurance is designed to protect these vital components of your business, so you can focus on the job at hand without worry. Our coverage extends to both the loss of and accidental damage to these indispensable assets.
