How to Claim Machinery Transport Insurance
When seeking our machinery insurance or transport services, we must fill out a bill of lading. We inspect your machinery and record all its information to show its condition before transport. We later use that form to confirm if it was delivered. If your machinery doesn’t match the information on the bill of lading form or photos taken earlier, contact our insurer immediately with a copy of our insurance to claim compensation. To protect machinery from damage, we load and unload them using cranes operated by professionals. We ensure a rigger crew is present to help with the process and secure it for transport. Oversize machinery is accompanied by pilot cars to guide drivers on the best roads to use and keep motorists at a safe distance. You can reach us through call, email, or fill out the form on our website for machinery transport and insurance services.
