Operating heavy machinery across civil works, construction, demolition or mining, we arrange plant and equipment insurance tailored to your setup.

Whether you own, lease or operate heavy machinery across civil works, construction, demolition or mining, we arrange plant and equipment insurance tailored to your setup. From a single excavator to fleets - we’ll help you stay on track with insurance that protects your machines and your business.

We work with builders, subcontractors, demolishers, developers, owner-operators and equipment hire businesses across Australia.
