Plant and Equipment Insurance is specifically designed to cover registered and unregistered mobile plants, as well as equipment taken to job sites.
Accidents happen, plants and equipment are stolen from sites, and people get injured. The damage to your plant can be very expensive to repair, as well as the cost of hiring a replacement item so you can complete the job. Finding the money to pay for repairs, or to buy a replacement unit if yours is stolen, can be difficult. In addition, if you're found responsible for an injury to someone or damaging property, legal defences costs and damages awarded by a court can be very expensive.

Sections you may need to consider.
Risks may be insured for a number of reasons, for example:
Inadequate loss limits - if the sum insured is less than the amount of your exposure, any loss in excess of the sum insured will not be insured.
No insurance - if you elect not to insure a particular risk, you must bear all losses yourself.
A deductible or excess under a policy – you must bear the first part of the loss up to the amount of the deductible or excess.
Excluded perils – some policies exclude perils, e.g. as flood, storm surge and subsidence. You will not be insured for an excluded peril unless you ask for the cover (which can be expensive as there is generally a limited availability of cover in these areas)
Our concern lies not so much in the fact that you may retain certain insurable risks, but that you may do so without fully recognising the fact, and without making a conscious decision to do so. Such conscious decisions should be reviewed from time to time in the light of changing circumstances. A potential problem area could arise from a series of losses, each subject to a heavy deductible.
A further concern is the possibility of the aggregation of self-insured risks. For example , one incident could give rise to a number of losses, leading to a combined loss figure well above an affordable level (e.g., a fire or explosion at a major location could involve building, plant and stock damage, business interruption, parked trucks and their loads, not to mention legal liability for injured workers and third parties’ property or injury).
With this in mind, the list above indicates a number of risks that you may not insure at present. While no list of uninsured risks can ever by exhaustive, we have aimed to highlight the more significant omissions from any Insurance Program. As any business is susceptible to change, we recommend you review all areas regularly to ensure that you are still comfortable with the scope of cover provided by your existing policies.
Commercial Property Vaulations:
Under Insurance
If you are under insured this can have a major effect on a claim on your property insurance. The underwriter has the ability to reduce your claim by the percentage of under insurance. For example if you have a building worth $1,000,000 to replace it, and it is only insured for $500,000 then you suffered from storm damage of $100,000 the claim can be reduced to $50,000 less your excess by the underwriter. To avoid under insurance issues, we recommend that you get your building and plant professionally valued.
