TOOL OF TRADE INSURANCE

Working vehicles - often referred to as Tool of Trade vehicles - are essential assets for businesses across various industries. These vehicles, such as cherry pickers, cement mixers, cranes, and tipper trucks, don’t just transport people or goods; they play a hands-on role in the work itself. Whether lifting, mixing, tipping, or shredding, these vehicles perform tasks critical to a job site, creating unique insurance requirements.

Why Tool of Trade Insurance Matters

Vehicles used both on the road and as specialised work tools come with a specific set of risks that standard motor insurance may not fully address. Tool of Trade insurance is designed to offer dual coverage, safeguarding the vehicle in transit and during active work. For instance, a cement mixer may require coverage for road-related accidents as well as risks associated with mixing operations on-site.
