Benefits & Coverage

What does this insurance policy cover?

๐Ÿšœ

Equipment All Risk

Comprehensive protection for heavy equipment against unforeseen physical risks โ€” from worksite accidents and structural damage to incidents outside operating hours. Suited to equipment used on construction, mining, or shipyard sites in Batam.

๐Ÿ’ฅ

Operational Accidents

Covers damage from skidding on mud, overturning on excavation slopes, unit-to-unit collisions, or impact with structures during maneuvering โ€” common risks in dense project environments like Batamindo and Nongsa industrial zones.

๐ŸŒŠ

Natural Disasters

Financial protection against fire, flood, whirlwind, earthquake, and lightning damage. As an island region, Batam is prone to extreme weather and coastal tidal flooding, making this coverage highly relevant for equipment on open sites.

โš™๏ธ

Machinery Breakdown

Covers repair costs from sudden mechanical or electrical failure โ€” such as hydraulic pump, transmission, or engine component damage due to material defects. Normal wear and tear is excluded.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Transit Protection

Equipment mobilized between project sites via flatbed or trailer stays protected against traffic accidents and loading/unloading damage โ€” covering land routes across Batam Island and barge transport to nearby islands.

๐Ÿ‘ท

Third-Party Liability (TPL)

Covers legal claims and compensation to third parties if your heavy equipment causes property damage or injury during operation โ€” crucial for projects near residential areas or public facilities.

Why Heavy Equipment Insurance Matters in Batam

In Batam, heavy equipment isn't just working machinery โ€” it's a strategic asset that determines the progress of construction projects, industrial zone development, and shipyard operations. Without proper protection, a single incident can halt an entire project and drain significant cash flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to commonly asked questions

What types of heavy equipment can be insured?+
Almost any type of heavy equipment can be insured, including excavators (crawler & wheeled), bulldozers, wheel loaders, motor graders, vibro rollers, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, cranes (crawler, mobile, tower), forklifts, off-road dump trucks, and specialized shipyard equipment such as gantry and floating cranes. If your equipment isn't listed here, contact us โ€” it can likely still be accommodated.
Can rented heavy equipment be insured?+
Yes. Both the owner (lessor) and the renter (lessee) can insure heavy equipment according to their respective interests. Many lease contracts contractually require the renter to insure the leased equipment. We can help structure a policy that matches your lease clauses to avoid double insurance.
How is the sum insured determined for heavy equipment?+
The sum insured is based on fair market value or book value, depending on agreement with the insurer. Equipment over 5 years old or valued above IDR 2 billion usually requires an appraisal or physical survey. We recommend against under-insuring, as it affects claim payout proportionality.
How long does policy issuance take?+
For standard equipment with complete documents, a cover note (temporary proof of protection) can be issued within 1โ€“2 business days. The definitive policy is typically issued in 7โ€“10 business days. For special programs or large sums insured requiring a survey, the process may take 7โ€“14 business days after the survey is completed.
Does coverage extend to equipment operating in shipyards or near water?+
Yes, with the appropriate extension clauses. For equipment at shipyards, docks, or reclaimed land in Batam, we can include barge transit risk extensions, falling-into-water risk, and special corrosive-environment endorsements. We have experience serving clients in the Tanjung Uncang and Sekupang shipyard areas.
What is excluded from heavy equipment insurance?+
Common exclusions include normal wear and tear, damage from negligent maintenance, damage caused by unlicensed operators, losses from war or terrorism (unless specially endorsed), and pre-existing damage prior to policy issuance. Full exclusion details are stated in the policy document.
