Protect your business with owned or hired-in plant insurance through Jensten Insurance Brokers.
What is Plant Insurance?
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, Employers’ Liability, and several other protections, making it useful for businesses using these machines.
