Portable tools and smaller equipment may sometimes be included, although General Property Insurance can also be relevant depending on the type and use of the items.
Does all equipment use the same policy? #
No.
The appropriate insurance can depend on:
- Whether the equipment is mobile or fixed
- Whether it is road registered
- How it is used
- Whether it is owned, financed or leased
- Whether it is hired in
- Whether it is hired to other businesses
- Equipment value
- Operating location
Specialised uses such as underground work, lifting, drilling or work over water may require additional underwriting or policy conditions.
