Earthmoving Insurance – National Coverage for Machinery & Fleet Operators

Running an earthmoving business comes with high-value assets, strict deadlines, and the constant pressure of keeping machinery operational. At Wideland Insurance Brokers, we provide tailored Earthmoving Insurance solutions designed to protect your plant, people, and projects — whether you’re working on residential subdivisions, mining sites, or large-scale civil works.

What Is Earthmoving Insurance?

Earthmoving Insurance is a broad category of cover that protects businesses operating heavy plant and equipment. It typically includes cover for owned and hired machinery, breakdowns, accidental damage, third-party liability, and transport risks.

We understand that no two businesses are the same. That’s why we create custom insurance packages that reflect your specific operations, location, and fleet makeup.

Our Earthmoving Insurance policies can include:

  • Material Damage (Owned Machinery) – Covers accidental damage or loss to owned equipment such as excavators, graders, bulldozers, and loaders.

  • Hired-In Plant Insurance – Protection for machinery you hire temporarily. Many hire agreements require you to have cover in place.

  • Third-Party Liability – Protection against claims for damage or injury caused while operating your machinery on-site or off-site.

  • Machinery Breakdown – Optional cover for internal mechanical or electrical failure that leads to downtime or loss of income.

  • Transit Cover – Ensures your machines are covered when being transported between job sites.

Specialist Cover for Earthmoving Fleets

Whether you have a single machine or a fleet of 50, we work with leading Earthmoving insurance underwriters to ensure that your entire operation is covered — from skid steers and backhoes to haul trucks and trenchers.

Our strong network of insurance partners means you get access to tailored policies from trusted names in earthmoving and construction insurance, ensuring your business complies with state legislation, client contract requirements, and industry safety standards.
