Trenchers cut fast for pipelines, cabling, drainage and utilities, which puts them right on top of underground services. From walk-behind units to large ride-on and wheel trenchers, Machine Cover compares insurers to suit your machine and the service-strike risk that comes with trenching. Machine Cover is a brand of Stonewell Insurance, a licensed Australian broker, with same-day cover often available and flexible monthly or fortnightly payments.

What trenchers need covered
Public and Product Liability
Trenchers cut blind into ground where gas, power, water and comms often run. Liability cover can respond if you strike an underground service or cause third-party property damage or injury, which is one of the biggest risks in trenching.
Accidental Damage and Theft
Trenchers range from walk-behinds to large ride-on and wheel machines, and smaller units are easy targets for theft. Cover can help after accidental damage, fire or theft.
Machinery Breakdown
Chain drives, hydraulics and engines take heavy load in hard and rocky ground. Machinery breakdown cover can help with sudden mechanical or electrical failure.
Chains, Teeth and Booms
Digging chains, teeth and augers wear fast and snap on rock and roots. Cover can extend to the boom, tooling and wear parts you replace often.
Dry Hire
Ride-on and walk-behind trenchers are common hire items. Dry hire cover can protect your machine while it is out with a hirer without an operator.
Downtime and Business Interruption
A downed trencher can hold up a pipeline or utility crew. Business interruption cover can help with lost income and replacement hire during repairs.
Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.
