Business insurance
Insurance for Logging Contractors
Logging carries some of the highest risk in any trade — heavy machinery in steep, remote forest, falling timber, fire exposure and crews working in hazardous conditions far from help. Mobile plant and machinery cover protects your harvesters, forwarders and trucks, public liability covers third-party injury and property damage, and commercial motor covers haulage on public roads. With staff in dangerous work, workers' compensation is essential.
Fire, machinery breakdown and the cost of recovering a bogged or damaged machine from a coupe all need thinking about. Premiums for a logging contractor often sit around the ~$4,500 mark given the plant values and hazard level, and with many policies renewing around 30 June it pays to review your cover and sums insured before the new financial year so a destroyed machine or a serious incident does not threaten the business.
Common questions
Logging Contractors — insurance questions
What insurance does a logging contractor really need?
The essentials are mobile plant and machinery cover for your harvesters and forwarders, public liability, and commercial motor for haulage. Workers' compensation is required for crews, and given the hazard level it is one of the most important covers you hold. Confirm machine sums insured reflect replacement cost.
Why is plant and machinery cover so important in logging?
Your machines are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and operate in fire-prone, rough terrain where damage, breakdown and recovery costs are real. Without adequate plant cover, the loss of a single harvester could be catastrophic, so getting the sums insured right is critical.
