Drag Line Insurance Protection Coverage

Whether you use the drag line equipment for your construction or mining activities, it’s a basic requirement that you have this heavy equipment insured with a drag line insurance policy to protect against future claims. If you are in the process of choosing the appropriate protection coverage, below are some guidelines that can help you make a wise choice.

  • Clearly identify the classification of the drag line

It’s crucial at this point that you can clearly identify the classification of the drag line so that you know exactly what to look for when buying drag line insurance protection.

  • List the general usage of this equipment

Your next task is to list the general usage of this heavy equipment. Is it for your own various construction projects, or is it rented to other independent contractors? Be more specific when listing the activities that involve the use of a drag line so that when determining the level of protection you need, you can accurately gauge which needs higher protection coverage.
