Business insurance
Insurance for Timber Suppliers
A timber yard carries clear risks. Heavy packs of timber are lifted and stacked, forklifts move through the yard, trade customers load up alongside your staff, and timber and dust are a real fire load. Public liability covers injury and property damage to customers and visitors on site, while contents and stock cover protects the considerable value of timber in the yard and sheds from fire, storm and theft. Add commercial vehicle cover for deliveries and workers' compensation for yard staff. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.
Common questions
Timber Suppliers — insurance questions
Is fire cover important for a timber yard?
Very. Stacked timber and sawdust are a significant fire load, so make sure your stock and contents sum insured reflects the real value in the yard and sheds, and that your cover suits a high fire-risk site.
When should I review my premium?
Many policies renew around 30 June, so review in May or June. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands yard, forklift and stock risk rather than treating you like a generic retailer.
