Bulldozer Insurance

What type of earthmover equipment do you own? Is it a bulldozer, bobcat, excavator, or front end loader? Any of these earthmovers are exposed to all sorts of risks, like an operator being injured due to reversing incorrectly or tripping over on the unstable ground. In fact, even muddy or wet surfaces could lead to major breakdowns, especially if the operator isn’t highly trained to operate heavy equipment. If you are deeply concerned that one of these days you or your hired operator could be involved in a major catastrophe involving a third party injury, property damage or personal harm, you should think about getting a bulldozer insurance policy.

What are the types of protection coverage you can get in your bulldozer equipment insurance?

Earthmoving insurance is designed for heavy earthmoving machinery and may include the backhoe, bulldozer, excavator, front end loader, drott, grader, scraper, and other heavy vehicles (dump trucks). If your earthmover is among those mentioned, you can get bulldozer insurance. Below are the common types of protection coverage you can include in your insurance policy:

  • Public liability coverage

This type of protection coverage covers all risky elements that your earthmover will face while in use, such as physical injury to the operator or a third party. It can also extend its protection to unauthorized access and liability to sub-contractors. A comprehensive public liability policy may provide protection against property damage to a third party like customers.

  • Personal accident coverage

Another type of protection you can ask an insurer about in a bulldozer insurance policy is personal accident cover, especially if you are a sole trader.

  • Professional risks coverage

This is a special type of protection coverage designed for operators of earthmovers. The protection coverage is mostly focused on management liability and professional indemnity.
