Scissor Lift Insurance for Australian Operators

From indoor fitouts to outdoor maintenance, a scissor lift gets people and tools up safely, and cover keeps the business steady if something goes wrong. Machine Cover helps you compare insurers and arrange cover for owned or hired-out lifts. As a licensed broker we do the shopping around, and cover can often start the same day.

Cover

What scissor lifts need covered

Public & Product Liability

Even at lower speeds, height brings risk. This can cover injury or property damage from falling tools, a knock to a finished fitout or a strike on someone nearby.

Accidental Damage & Theft

Covers the machine against accidental damage such as a fall off a loading dock, edge or ramp, plus theft from indoor and outdoor sites.

Machinery Breakdown

The scissor mechanism, hydraulics, drive motors and batteries can be expensive to fix. Breakdown cover can respond after a sudden failure.

Attachments

Pipe racks, panel carriers and other platform extras can be added so they are covered with the lift.

Dry Hire

Scissor lifts are often hired out without an operator. Dry hire cover can protect the unit while it is in a customer's hands.

Downtime & Business Interruption

If your access machine is out of action, work can stall. This can help pay to hire a replacement after a covered loss.

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