Plant Hire 

HIRESHIELD INSURANCE SOLUTIONS

We are an established provider of insurance to the Plant Hire sector.

Conditions of hire between a plant hire firm and the hirer, will make the hirer responsible for loss or damage equipment during the hire period.

We understand that sometimes there are commercial reasons when a plant hire firm would not want the hirer to be liable for loss or damage. There are also instances where it would be very difficult for the hirer to obtain insurance to cover plant hired by them, especially when the hire periods are short term.

Our recommended Plant ‘All Risks’ Insurance policy has the option to include the Hireshield Subrogration waiver, which essentially means that a plant hire firm can waive their usual rights of recourse against the hirer and instead have the plant covered by their own policy. Some plant firms will increase their hire charges in instances where subrogation rights are waived.

Some of the solutions we arrange for plant hire firms include:

  • Annual Plant All Risks policy, including the Hireshield Subrogration waiver
  • Property Damage and Business Interruption Insurance
  • Public/Products Liability Insurance
  • Employers Liability Insurance
  • Good In Transit Insurance
  • Management Liability Insurance including Employment Practice Liability
  • Cyber & Crime Insurance
  • Inspection policies, relating to statutory required inspection of plant

Our solutions are underwritten by a carefully selected panel of insurers, based on their financial strength, policy cover, and ability to provide a first-class service to clients.
