Business insurance
Insurance for Scaffolding Sales and Hire Providers
Scaffolding is a high-risk, safety-critical trade, so cover is serious. Public liability is essential — scaffold failure, a fall or a dropped component can cause severe injury or property damage and a major claim. Working-at-height and erection risk make safety central, and you need cover for your scaffold stock against theft and damage, whether in the yard or out on hire across multiple sites. Workers' compensation covers your install crews. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year so your liability and stock limits match the projects you take on.
Common questions
Scaffolding Sales and Hire Providers — insurance questions
Why is public liability so critical for scaffolders?
Because the consequences of a scaffold failure or fall are severe — serious injury and major property damage are real risks. Public liability responds to those claims, and no builder or principal contractor will let you on site without it.
Is my scaffold stock covered while out on hire?
It should be — your stock is spread across multiple sites and yards, so you need cover for theft and damage both on hire and in the yard. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands a hire fleet rather than treating you generically.
