Recovering heavy mobile plant is complex.

It often requires dismantling and specialised transport.

Standard limits might not be enough.

-For Mobile Plant, the limit for protection and recovery is often higher (e.g., $250,000),
-This covers dismantling the plant for transport.
-It covers returning the plant to where it is usually kept after repairs.
-It also covers protecting the plant from further damage pending repair.

If your truck is damaged in an accident, your policy should cover the cost to move it to a repairer.

This is distinct from the repair cost itself.

Things to Know:
-The insurance pays the reasonable cost of protection and recovery of your Motor Vehicle.
-This usually covers transport to the nearest qualified repairer.
-If agreed, it can be towed to your base of operations or a repairer of your choice.
-This benefit applies when there is a valid claim for loss or damage.

Tip: Always get authorisation before arranging a long-distance tow

Unsafe & Unroadworthy Vehicles

Insurers require you to maintain your vehicle in a roadworthy condition. Neglecting maintenance isn't just a safety risk; it's a financial one.

Don't skip the pre-start check. It protects your insurance too.
