What does compactor insurance cover?

Compactor and roller cover can include public and product liability, accidental damage and theft, machinery breakdown, attachments, dry hire and business interruption. We tailor it to your machines, from big rollers to walk-behind plate compactors.

Is a roller tip-over covered?

A rollover on an embankment or batter is a common roller loss, and accidental damage cover can help repair or replace the machine afterwards. We can talk through the terms so you know how tip-overs are treated.

How much does compactor insurance cost?

It depends on the value and type of your compactors, where they work and your claims history. As a broker we compare insurers to find cover that genuinely suits your operation and your budget.

Do you cover compactors that I hire out?

Yes. If you dry hire your rollers or plate compactors without an operator, we can arrange dry hire cover so the machine is protected while it is with a hirer.

Can I pay monthly or fortnightly?

Yes. Flexible monthly or fortnightly payments can be arranged, and your documents are emailed to you once cover is in place.

Cover

What compactors need covered

Public and Product Liability

Vibrating rollers can crack nearby slabs, pavements and underground services, and plate compactors work tight against structures. Liability cover can respond to third-party property damage or injury your compactor causes.

Accidental Damage and Theft

Embankments, batters and trench edges make tip-overs a real risk for rollers. Cover can help repair or replace your compactor after a rollover, impact, fire or theft.

Machinery Breakdown

Drum drive, vibration and hydraulic faults can put a roller out of action. Machinery breakdown cover can help with sudden mechanical or electrical failure.

Attachments and Drums

Padfoot shells, scrapers and plate parts wear with use. Cover can extend to attachments and the wear items that keep your compactor productive.

Dry Hire

Compactors are hired out constantly. Dry hire cover can protect your machine while it is off with a hirer and make loss and damage easier to sort.

Downtime and Business Interruption

If your only roller is off the road, compaction stops. Business interruption cover can help with lost income and the cost of hiring a replacement.

Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.
