Plant hire

Useful content covering plant hire and plant equipment insurance and how to keep your valuable plant machinery safe and secure.

Plant hire insurance can cover your legal liability under the terms of a written plant hire agreement to pay the cost of repairing, restoring or replacing the equipment following damage to hired-in plant for which you are responsible:

– at your contract site

– temporarily away from your contract site if it is

– within a securely locked compound, premises or garage

– out of sight within a securely locked vehicle (other than within the hours of 18.00 and 08.00 when the vehicle must be locked and within a securely locked building or guarded security park)

Minus a deduction for wear and tear, within the UK during the insurance period.
