What forklifts need covered
Public & Product Liability
If your forklift strikes a pedestrian, backs into a truck or brings down a loaded pallet rack, this can cover the compensation and legal costs for injury or property damage you are found responsible for.
Accidental Damage & Theft
Covers the forklift itself against sudden accidental damage such as a tip-over or collision, plus theft from your yard, site or storage shed.
Machinery Breakdown
Forklifts run hard on shift work. This can cover repair or replacement after electrical, hydraulic or mast failures on both LPG and electric units.
Attachments
Rotators, jibs, slippers, extended tynes and work platforms can be added so a claim covers the tool as well as the truck.
Dry Hire
If you hire the forklift out without an operator, dry hire cover can protect the machine while it is in someone else's hands.
Downtime & Business Interruption
If a covered loss puts the forklift out of action, this can help pay to hire a replacement so orders keep moving out the door.
Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.
