Business insurance
Insurance for Bobcat and Dingo Hire Operators
Plant-hire risk is significant: high-value machines, attachments and floats, the chance of damage on a client's site, and liability when others operate your equipment under dry hire. A typical premium near $2,500 a year usually reflects plant and equipment cover, public liability, and transit cover for floating machines between sites.
With many policies renewing around 30 June, reviewing cover before the busier dry-weather months is wise. Cockatoo helps you find an insurance partner who understands mobile plant, hired-in and hired-out arrangements, and the on-site liability that comes with earthmoving equipment.
Common questions
Bobcat and Dingo Hire Operators — insurance questions
What insurance does a hire business need?
Plant and equipment cover for machines, attachments and floats, public liability for on-site work, transit cover for moving machines, and workers' compensation if you employ operators. Dry-hire arrangements may need specific liability terms.
Does dry hire change my insurance needs?
It can. When a client operates your machine, liability and damage arrangements differ from wet hire, so it is worth confirming cover near a 30 June renewal to ensure your plant is protected however it is hired out.
