What is earthmovers insurance?

Earthmoving businesses often operate heavy machinery in demanding environments, including construction sites, civil works and infrastructure projects. Earthmovers insurance refers to a range of cover options that can be tailored to contractors and operators working with excavators, loaders, graders and other specialised equipment. Depending on your activities, cover may include options for liability, plant and equipment, vehicles and personal accident and illness.

Depending on your business activities, cover options may help manage risks associated with third-party property damage, accidental injury, stolen tools, damaged equipment or periods where you’re unable to work due to an accident or illness.
