Tree Surgeon Plant Insurance Explained
Tree Surgeon Plant Insurance Quick Answer
Tree surgeon plant insurance may help protect machinery used in tree surgery, forestry and grounds maintenance operations, including owned plant and hired-in machinery.
What Does Tree Surgeon Plant Insurance Cover?
Plant insurance may help protect machinery used in tree surgery, forestry and grounds maintenance operations against theft, accidental damage, fire, flood, vandalism and transit damage.
- Wood chippers
- Stump grinders
- Mini excavators
- Tracked loaders
- Forestry machinery
- Trailers
- Log splitters
- Hydraulic equipment
- Hired-in machinery
- Theft, accidental damage, fire, flood, vandalism and transit damage
Hired-In Plant Insurance
Many tree surgery businesses hire machinery for larger or specialist contracts. Hired-in plant insurance may be particularly important for commercial contracts, utility works, local authority projects and emergency storm response work.
- Contractual liabilities
- Damage to hired equipment
- Theft of hired machinery
- Continuing hire charges
- Commercial contracts, utility works and local authority projects
- Emergency storm response work
Insurance for Wood Chippers & Stump Grinders
Wood chippers and stump grinders are among the most valuable pieces of equipment used by many tree surgeons. Insurers may review the way this machinery is stored, secured, operated and transported.
- Storage arrangements
- Overnight security
- Immobilisers and tracking devices
- Operator experience
- Claims history
- Transport methods
Example Plant Insurance Claims
Plant losses can interrupt work quickly because tree surgery businesses often rely on a small number of expensive machines.
- Stolen wood chipper: a wood chipper is stolen overnight from a secured compound and plant insurance helps cover replacement costs.
- Transit damage: a stump grinder is damaged while being transported between jobs and the policy may contribute towards repair costs.
- Fire damage: machinery is damaged following an electrical fire and plant insurance may help cover repairs or replacement.
