Construction Plant Hire Insurance

Our CPA insurance will help to protect you when leasing out your plant, meaning you will be covered for any risks relating to damage or theft.

What does our plant hire insurance cover?

CPA Hire Cover Plus allows you to place a loss or damage waiver so that customers who have no insurance can hire you knowing that you will cover loss or damage yourselves. It includes excavators, diggers and dumpers (and all other types of plant and machinery that can be hired out under CPA model conditions), forklift trucks (and attachments hired out), agricultural plant and machinery, lifting and lighting equipment.

Why do you need plant hire insurance?

Once you hire out a piece of machinery, the leasing company become responsible for it. If, while it’s in their possession, it becomes damaged or stolen, it would be their legal requirement to replace or fix it. If they were not in a position to do so, you could face either losing the plant or having to cover the costs yourself. Taking out construction plant insurance will mean you are protecting yourself against such risks.
