Plant insurance is a special type of cover designed to protect construction, agricultural vehicles, and other specialist equipment such as forklifts, cherry pickers, diggers, and steam rollers.
It can cover your own equipment (owned plant) and ones you hire (hired-in plant) for use on-site and on public roads. A policy can be extended to include business-critical covers such as public liability, employer’s liability, and several other protections, making it useful for businesses using these machines.

If any hired-in plant is damaged or stolen, you’ll usually be liable to continue paying the hire charges for the item in question, even if it is no longer used by you. In most instances, these charges will be covered for 90 days, but it’s always worth checking the policy.
Yes, some items you think would be considered as such are not. This includes things like a truck with a hi-ab on the back, which would be classed as a heavy goods vehicle. Horseboxes are another item some people would class as a special types vehicle; however, it is not unless noted on the log book.
Yes. When you hire machinery, it means that you are responsible for that item, and you need to make sure you send it back in the condition you hired it. If a piece of kit you have hired was to break or be damaged and you didn’t have hired-in plant insurance, you would have to pay for any repairs.
