Crane & Plant Hire Insurance

Specialist Insurance and Risk Solutions for CPA Members.

Towergate is a member of the Construction Plant- Hire Association and we have in-depth knowledge and understanding of this sector. We regularly devise insurance broking and risk management services for this specialist area of the construction industry. However, before we proceed, we will provide a full review before putting together a bespoke insurance and risk management proposal to help protect your assets and liabilities.

Towergate has built up many years of experience helping protect the contracting industry, with customers ranging from small building enterprises to major civil engineering organisations. As one of the UK’s leading insurance intermediaries and with strong insurer relationships, we have the buying power which can help negotiate competitive tradesman and contractor’s insurance deals for our clients.

Premiums can be collected on a monthly basis by a direct debit* plan thus spreading the financial cost over the year.

Help when you need it most

If the worst should happen and you need to make a claim, we will guide you through what can be a difficult and time consuming process. At Towergate our aim is to negotiate a fair and prompt claims settlement on your behalf. With an in-house claims facility and expert technical knowledge, we will endeavour to get you back to "business as usual" as fast as possible.
