Machinery is capital. Protect it.

Machinery breakdowns are expensive, and they tend to happen at the worst possible moment.

A halt in production costs more than the damage.

In manufacturing, machinery is often the most valuable asset a business has. A breakdown from operator error, mechanical failure or a material defect hits not only the machine itself but the whole production process, with knock-on costs from late orders and contractual penalties.

Fully insured. Correctly valued.

We help you value your machinery correctly and insure all of it, with a policy that covers the real risks of breakdown and lost production, and avoids under-insurance through regular review.

What machinery insurance covers.

90%

of machinery losses are partial: a repair rather than a write-off.

Operator error

is among the most common causes of loss.

Depreciated value

On a write-off many policies pay only the depreciated value, not the replacement cost.

All risks

Operator error, short circuits, material and design faults are all covered.

What counts in machinery insurance.

All-risks cover

Machinery insurance covers unforeseen damage broadly, including operator error, short circuits and material and design faults.

Replacement value, not depreciated value

On a write-off many policies pay only the depreciated value. Look for replacement-cost cover, so that replacing the machine is actually possible.

The shutdown costs extra

The repair bill is often smaller than the profit lost while production stands still, and machinery interruption cover takes care of that.

Keep the value current

Machinery changes over time. Without regular adjustment of the sum insured, under-insurance threatens when you claim.

Why to arrange cover now.

Check your bottleneck machines

If a key machine goes down, production stops, and the repair quickly runs to five figures.

Replacement value, not depreciated value

On a write-off many policies pay only the depreciated value. Look for replacement-cost cover.

Insure the downtime too

Machinery interruption cover pays for the profit lost during a long shutdown.
