What is Concrete Pumping Insurance?

The concrete pumping sector faces unique challenges including equipment breakdowns and third-party liabilities, making comprehensive insurance a necessity for staying competitive and financially secure.

Concrete pumping insurance provides a safety net for your operations, covering everything from minor machinery issues to major liability claims on construction sites. It is designed to keep your business running smoothly, even when the unexpected happens.

RISK ARCHITECTURE

What does Concrete Pumping Insurance cover?

Covers costs if your business is held responsible for third-party injuries or property damage, such as an over-spray incident or a damaged structure. This is often a requirement for access to most job sites.

Protects your concrete pumps, hoses and other tools against damage, theft, or breakdowns. This includes coverage for costly repairs for imported parts that can take weeks to source.

If your pump is self-propelled or mounted on a truck, this covers accidents, damage or theft while on the road or at a site.

Compensates for lost income if your operations are paused due to a covered event, like a pump breakdown, helping you maintain cash flow.

Covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job, helping you meet standard workplace obligations in Australia.

Protects smaller tools and equipment, such as remote controls or hoses, against loss or damage, even if stolen from a locked vehicle.

Concrete pumping insurance is a combination of coverages tailored to your specific business needs.

SECTOR ANALYSIS

Who needs Concrete Pumping Insurance?

Our insurance solutions are designed for everyone in the concrete pumping industry, from sole operators to large fleet managers.

Abstract engineering detail

If you are a sole operator running a single trailer pump or a small boom pump, you can protect your investment and livelihood from high repair costs or liability claims.

Businesses with staff need comprehensive cover for equipment, liabilities and employee safety, including standard workers’ compensation protection.

If you rent your pump to other contractors, you face additional risks such as damage caused by the renter or liability claims from their operations.

For truck-mounted or self-propelled pumps, commercial vehicle insurance covers accidents, theft or damage on the road or at job sites.

Factors that can affect your insurance costs

The cost of your premium is influenced by several factors unique to your concrete pumping operations:

  • Business Size and Turnover: Larger businesses with higher revenue or more employees typically have different risk profiles.
  • Equipment Value and Type: High-value pumps, like a 65m boom pump, involve higher replacement costs than smaller trailer pumps.
  • Location and Usage: Operating in high-risk areas or frequent equipment use can influence costs. Regular maintenance helps manage these risks.
  • Claims History: A clean record can often help in securing more favourable rates.
  • Operator Experience: Experienced operators often reduce the likelihood of accidents, which can be reflected in your premium.

Every concrete pumping business is unique. We work with you to understand your specific risks and provide a tailored solution that fits your budget.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

Frequently asked questions

You can insure older concrete pumps. Insurers typically cover pumps of any age, although the premium may vary based on the pump’s condition, maintenance history and value. Providing proof of regular servicing and compliance with Australian Standard AS 2550.15 (Cranes, Hoists, and Winches: Safe Use) can help secure better rates.
If your pump breaks down and halts your work, Business Interruption Insurance can cover lost income during the downtime. For example, if a mechanical failure stops you from completing a project, this coverage can compensate for the lost revenue while your pump is repaired.
Even for small residential jobs, Concrete Pumping Insurance is vital. A single mishap, such as a hose leak damaging a driveway or an injury to a bystander, can lead to costly claims. Having insurance also builds confidence with your clients.
