What if, the production plant or any major equipment will get damage. How the business owner will respond, will they buy the new one?
Yes, they can but how they will get the finance for new plant or equipment. For once, we can say that they have bought a new plant if that also get damaged then now what? It is not possible to keep buying the new equipment and plant with your own money when they get damaged. You need to have coverage for such damages or you can get some money to repair the plant or equipment. For all such situation, the truck insurance is made for plant and equipment.
Coverage
The plant and equipment insurance help plant or equipment owner to get compensation in case their machinery get heavily damaged. In the case of light damage, the insurance can pay the amount of money that has been spent on repair of the equipment and plant. The repair or replacement of parts of such types of machinery are not cheap, so getting the insurance coverage will help you to save money on them.
Liability
This insurance can be extended further to provide coverage to many other areas. For example, due to malfunction of your equipment, your other property also gets damaged. So, if your liability insurance of the machinery, then you can claim damages for the same. It is recommended that extended insurance must be taken because these equipment and plant are quite big, they may also damage their surrounding in case of malfunction or breakdown.
What not in Coverage
The insurance may pay you for the damage that happened to your equipment due to any unforeseen incident. But there are few exceptions that insurance will never cover, for example, if the machinery gets damage due to negligence of its operators, then it will not be covered by insurance. If somebody sabotages the machinery to inflict damage to it, again this doesn’t cover under the insurance. Damage occurs due to non-maintenance or wrong use of the machinery, will not under insurance coverage.
