Tree surgeon tools insurance can cover chainsaws, harnesses, climbing ropes, rigging kits, woodworking tools, hedge cutters, blowers, power tools and hand tools.

Cover Examples

  • Rigging kits, lowering devices and winches

  • Hand tools, fuel cans, batteries and accessories
  • Theft from locked vehicles overnight, subject to insurer terms

Vehicle Storage Conditions

Insurers may apply conditions around locked vehicles, alarms, tool vaults, locked compounds, evidence of forced entry and overnight storage. These details matter because arborist tools are portable and attractive to thieves.

  • Review single item limits for expensive chainsaws or climbing equipment
  • Check whether accidental damage is included as well as theft
