What is pallet truck insurance (work equipment insurance)?

Purpose of the insurance

With pallet truck insurance you cover the financial risk of (1) Liability voor injury aan derden en (2) – afhankelijk van de dekking – damage to your own pallet truck.

Why relevant in warehouse and logistics?

Damage often occurs in logistics environments Bumping and pinching incidents (stellingen, docks, deuren), and bij elektrische pallettrucks ook door battery/charging damage of injury aan vorken en wielen. WA voorkomt dat u injury aan derden volledig zelf moet dragen; casco kan injury aan uw eigen materieel opvangen (polisafhankelijk).

The exact insurance required depends on your situation, use and value.

Important: describe type of pallet truck (hand/EPT), locations of use (warehouse/retail), storage/security and possible rental. This determines coverage and conditions.

Applications: where do you use the pallet truck?

Warehouse & DC

loading/unloading at docks
moving pallets in aisles
risk of damage to shelves and doors

Retail & wholesale

supplying the shop floor
working in tight spaces with an audience
damage to inventory or glass fronts

Transport & cross dock

handling in loading areas
clamp/impact damage on ramps
risk of theft during temporary storage

Multiple users or rental

Bij wisselende gebruikers neemt de kans op bedieningsfouten en schade toe. Verhuurt u palletwagens of worden ze door derden gebruikt, vermeld dit bij de aanvraag zodat dekking en Conditions correct aansluiten.

Coverage: third party liability, fire/theft and hull/all risk

WA (liability)

damage to third parties (racks, doors, vehicles)
injury to third parties (policy dependent)
relevant when working in busy logistics environments

Fire & theft

fire, theft (and attempted), vandalism (policy dependent)
relevant for external storage, cross-dock or high-traffic locations
prevention requirements may apply (storage/lock/tracking)

Casco / All risk

damage to your pallet truck due to bumps, falls or collision (depending on the policy)
also relevant for EPT in case of damage to forks, drive or housing
pay attention to deductible and exclusions (wear and tear/gradual)

Comparison checklist

Point of comparison	Why important	What to pay attention to
WA (damage to racks/docks)	Claims can arise due to consequential damage and downtime.	Maximums, deductible and definition of “third parties” (policy dependent).
Casco/all risk (own damage)	Impact damage or fall/tilt damage is common.	Which causes are covered (operating error/collision) (policy dependent)?
Theft/vandalism	Risk is higher at external storage or temporary locations.	Prevention requirements (lock, storage, tracking) and theft deductible.
Accessories (battery/charger at EPT)	Batteries and chargers represent value.	Co-insured? Maximums and conditions for battery/charger (policy dependent).
Rental / third party use	More users = more risk.	Is rental explicitly permitted and how is liability regulated?

Policy conditions are leading; Have your commitment (warehouse/retail/rental) recorded in writing.

Frequently asked questions about pallet truck insurance

What is pallet truck insurance?

Pallet truck insurance usually falls under work equipment insurance. This usually insures liability (WA) for damage to third parties and can be expanded to include fire/theft and comprehensive/all risk for damage to the pallet truck itself.

Do I insure a hand pallet truck differently than an electric pallet truck (EPT)?

De basisgedachte is gelijk (work equipment, WA en eventueel casco), maar bij een EPT spelen waarde, accu/lader en inzet (docks, DC) vaak een grotere rol. Acceptatie en dekking zijn polisafhankelijk.

Is a shell/all-risk necessary for a pallet truck?

Niet altijd, maar vaak wel bij hogere waarde (met name EPT) of intensief gebruik. hull/all-risk kan eigen schade door stoten, vallen of aanrijding dekken (polisafhankelijk). WA dekt alleen schade aan derden.

Is damage to racks or loading platforms insured?

Schade aan derden (zoals stellingen, docks, deuren of voertuigen) valt doorgaans onder WA, mits de gebeurtenis onder de polisvoorwaarden valt. Controleer de maxima en Own risk’s.

Is theft or vandalism included in the insurance?

This depends on the policy and usually falls under fire/theft. Prevention requirements often apply (storage, lock, key management, possibly tracking).

Can I insure a pallet truck if I rent it out?

Rental is often possible, but must be explicitly reported. Insurers may impose additional conditions or use a different risk class.

What information do I need for a quote?

Usually: type (hand/EPT), brand/type, serial number(s), value, deployment locations (warehouse/retail), number of users, storage/security, rental/third party use and desired coverage (third party liability, fire/theft, hull/all risk).

What is mowing machine insurance (work equipment insurance)?

Purpose of the insurance

With mower insurance you cover the financial risk of (1) Liability voor injury aan derden en (2) – afhankelijk van de dekking – damage to your own mower.

Why specifically for work equipment?

Maaimachines draaien vaak op locaties met risico op objectschade (hekwerk, stoepranden, voertuigen) én injury aan de machine zelf (maaidek, messen, hydrauliek). Daarom is een werkmaterieeldekking vaak passend, bovenop algemene bedrijfsaansprakelijkheid.

The exact insurance required depends on your situation and use.

Important: describe type of mower, value, use (agriculture/terrain), storage/security and transport. This determines coverage and conditions.

Applications: what do you use the mower for?

Agriculture

mowing grass/forage harvesting
work on land, slopes and yards
risk of stone chips, obstacles and transport

Contract work

many operating hours and varying plots
high logistics (supply/disposal, transport)
liability towards clients

Grounds management

municipalities, recreation, sports fields
working near the public and objects
damage to fencing, cars, windows

Third party use or rental

Wordt de maaimachine uitgeleend of verhuurd, of werken er meerdere (wisselende) bestuurders? Vermeld dit bij de aanvraag. Verzekeraars kunnen aanvullende Conditions stellen.

Coverage: third party liability, fire/theft and hull/all risk

WA (liability)

damage to third parties (vehicles, buildings, objects)
injury to third parties (policy dependent)
relevant when working near the public and objects

Fire & theft

fire, theft (and attempted), vandalism (policy dependent)
relevant for outdoor storage and project locations
prevention requirements may apply (storage/tracking)

Casco / All risk

damage to your mower due to collision/fall (policy dependent)
often desired for higher values or intensive use
pay attention to deductible and exclusions (wear and tear/gradual)

Comparison checklist

Point of comparison	Why important	What to pay attention to
Casco (collision/fall/obstacles)	Damage to the mower deck, chassis or drive can be expensive.	Which causes of damage are covered by comprehensive insurance (depending on the policy)?
Accessories (cutting deck, blades, conditioner)	Options and accessories determine value and commitment.	Maxima and definition of “accessories”; specify separately if necessary.
Transportation	Damage during loading/unloading often occurs.	Co-insured? Own transport vs carrier; lashing/loading conditions.
Own risk	Affects premium and your risk.	Deviating deductibles in the event of theft may occur.
Exclusions	Prevents surprises in the event of a claim.	Wear and tear, lack of maintenance, intent, gradual damage.

Policy conditions are leading; have specific commitment confirmed in writing.

Damage risks with mowing machines

Stone chips & object damage

Maaien langs paden, erven of terreinranden kan steenslag veroorzaken. WA kan schade aan derden dekken (polisafhankelijk); Prevention (afscherming/werkafstand) blijft belangrijk.

Collision & clamp/bone damage

Schade aan hekwerk, stoepranden, voertuigen of gebouwen komt regelmatig voor. hull/all-risk is vaak de belangrijkste dekking voor schade aan de machine zelf.

Theft on property or location

Maaimachines (en toebehoren) zijn gewild. Buitenstalling of tijdelijke locaties vergroten het risico. fire/theft-dekking en preventie (stalling, sleutelbeheer, tracking) zijn dan cruciaal.

Tip: record work procedures (deposition, chipping risk, inspections) and document maintenance. This reduces the burden of claims and helps with acceptance.

Accessories and options: mowing deck, blades, conditioner, safety

Common equipment

cutting deck(s), knives/flails, conditioner
front/side/rear mower combinations
hydraulic parts, drivetrain (PTO/PTO), axles
additional lighting/marking for transport
tracking/GPS, extra locks, alarm

Not every accessory is insured as standard. Ask about maximums and conditions.

Prevent underinsurance

specify options and (new) value in the quotation
save invoices, take photos and record serial numbers
update the policy when purchasing new accessories

Practical: put your machine park on one current equipment list (type, serial number, accessories, value, location).

Transport: loading, unloading and transport between plots/locations

Where does transport damage occur?

loading/unloading on trailer, low loader or wagon
incorrect lashing, wrong lashing points
collision with obstacles when moving
temporary storage en route or on location

This way you speed up processing

photos before/after transport and upon transfer
document damage immediately (time/place/witnesses)
record agreements with the transporter (liability)
report damage quickly and keep transport documents

Transport coverage is policy dependent; please agree on this with the application.

Premium: what does the price depend on?

Most important factors

type of mowing machine and insured value (current value/new value)
coverage (third party liability, fire/theft, comprehensive/all risk) and deductible
use: agriculture/contract work/site management, locations and operating hours
storage/security and prevention
claims history and number of drivers

Compare wisely

compare conditions, maximums and exclusions
check accessories and transport
choose your deductible according to your damage risk
have deployment and storage recorded in writing

Approach: question 2 variants: (1) third party liability + fire/theft and (2) hull/all risk. Choose based on value and commitment.

Public roads: when is extra attention needed?

Situation dependent

Sommige maaimachines worden uitsluitend op eigen terrein/percelen gebruikt. In andere situaties is er verplaatsing over (of langs) de Public road, bijvoorbeeld tussen percelen of locaties. De verzekeringsbehoefte kan dan anders uitpakken.

Always state this when applying so that coverage is arranged correctly.

Practical points of interest

route choice and times (busyness)
signaling/lighting and visibility
who controls the machine (instruction demonstrable)
safe loading/unloading and delivery on location

Tip: explicitly indicate “terrain/plot only” or “occasional public road” to avoid misunderstandings in the event of damage.

Prevention: this is how you limit damage and improve acceptance

Safe deployment

inspect the area for stones/obstacles
working distance/protection against stone chips
clear zones around the public and vehicles

Maintenance

periodic inspection (cutting deck, blades, bearings)
check hydraulics and drivetrain
document maintenance and repairs

Storage & theft

lockable storage where possible
key management and registration
tracking/GPS (if required)

NB: prevention requirements can influence acceptance and payment (particularly in the event of theft).

Checklist: apply for mower insurance in 10 minutes

1) Machine data

make/type, year of construction
serial number(s)
version and options
value (new value/current value)

2) Uses & locations

The exact insurance required depends on your situation and use.

Important: describe type of aerial work platform, working height, surface (outriggers/tracks), storage/security and transport. This determines coverage and conditions.

Applications: what do you use the aerial work platform for?

Construction & facade

facade maintenance, painting, glass, eaves
work along objects with a risk of collision
surface/slope affects stability

Installation & maintenance

HVAC, electrical, lighting, sprinkler
entering and leaving buildings/warehouses
risk of damage to doors, racks, pipes

Industry & logistics

warehouse racks, halls, production environments
tight maneuvering space, heavy traffic
strict safety rules on location

Third party use or rental

Wordt de hoogwerker uitgeleend of verhuurd, of werken er meerdere (wisselende) bestuurders? Vermeld dit bij de aanvraag. Verzekeraars kunnen aanvullende Conditions stellen.

Coverage: third party liability, fire/theft and hull/all risk

WA (liability)

damage to third parties (vehicles, buildings, objects)
injury to third parties (policy dependent)
essential at construction and public locations

Fire & theft

fire, theft (and attempted), vandalism (policy dependent)
relevant for outdoor storage and project locations
prevention requirements may apply (storage/tracking)

Casco / All risk

damage to your aerial platform due to collision/fall (policy dependent)
often desired for higher values or intensive use
pay attention to deductible and exclusions (wear and tear/gradual)

Comparison checklist

Point of comparison	Why important	What to pay attention to
Casco (collision/fall)	Damage caused by impact or tipping is often expensive.	Is a fall/operating error covered (depending on the policy)?
Work tray & attachments	Jib, bucket and accessories influence value.	Maxima and definition of “accessories”; specify separately if necessary.
Transportation	Damage during loading/unloading occurs regularly.	Co-insured? Own transport vs carrier; lashing/loading conditions.
Own risk	Affects premium and your risk.	Deviating deductibles in the event of theft may occur.
Exclusions	Prevents surprises in the event of a claim.	Wear and tear, lack of maintenance, intent, gradual damage.

Policy conditions are leading; have specific commitment confirmed in writing.

Damage risks with aerial work platforms

Collision & impact damage

Schade aan gevels, ramen, rolluiken, stellingen of installaties komt regelmatig voor. WA dekt schade aan derden (polisafhankelijk); casco kan schade aan uw cherry-picker dekken.

Falling over / instability

Onstabiele ondergrond, onvoldoende stempelplaten, helling of windbelasting kunnen leiden tot kantelen. hull/all-risk is vaak de belangrijkste dekking voor dit scenario.

Theft at project location

Hoogwerkers zijn gewild. Buitenstalling en tijdelijke projectlocaties vergroten het risico. fire/theft-dekking en preventie (stalling, sleutelbeheer, tracking) zijn dan cruciaal.

Tip: establish operating procedures (roofing, spotter, wind limits) and document daily inspections. This reduces the burden of claims and helps with acceptance.

Accessories and options: work basket, jib, tracks and security

Common options

workbench (width/version), extra handrails
jib/extension arm, rotator
tracks, non-marking tyres
outrigger plates and stabilization aids
tracking/GPS, extra locks, alarm

Not every accessory is insured as standard. Ask about maximums and conditions.

Prevent underinsurance

specify options and (new) value in the quotation
save invoices, take photos and record serial numbers
update the policy when purchasing new accessories

Practical: put your machine park on one current equipment list (type, serial number, accessories, value, location).

Transport: loading, unloading and transport between projects

Where does transport damage occur?

loading/unloading on trailer or low loader
incorrect lashing, wrong lashing points
collision with obstacles during transport movements
temporary storage en route or at project location

This way you speed up processing

photos before/after transport and upon transfer
document damage immediately (time/place/witnesses)
record agreements with the transporter (liability)
report damage quickly and keep transport documents

Transport coverage is policy dependent; please agree on this with the application.

Premium: what does the price depend on?

Most important factors

type of aerial platform (scissor/telescope/spider), working height and insured value
coverage (third party liability, fire/theft, comprehensive/all risk) and deductible
use: indoor/outdoor, locations, intensity and environment (public/industry)
storage/security and prevention
claims history and number of drivers

Compare wisely

compare conditions, maximums and exclusions
check accessories and transport
choose your deductible according to your damage risk
Have the deployment, working height and storage recorded in writing

Approach: question 2 variants: (1) third party liability + fire/theft and (2) hull/all risk. Choose based on value and commitment.

Public roads: when is extra attention needed?

Situation dependent

Veel hoogwerkers worden op locatie ingezet en getransporteerd. Soms rijdt de hoogwerker (incidenteel) over of langs de Public road, bijvoorbeeld tussen werkvakken. De verzekeringsbehoefte kan dan anders uitpakken.

Always state this when applying so that the correct coverage is provided.

Practical points of interest

route choice and times (busyness)
signaling/lighting and visibility
who controls the machine (instruction demonstrable)
safe drop-off at entrances and exits

Tip: explicitly indicate “terrain/location only” or “occasional public road” to avoid misunderstandings in the event of damage.

Prevention: this is how you limit damage and improve acceptance

Safe deployment

cordoning, spotter and work permits where required
wind limits and subsurface control (outrigger plates)
driving and turning movements in tight spaces

Maintenance & inspection

periodic inspection and daily visual check
check hydraulics, tires/tracks, emergency stop
document maintenance and repairs

Storage & theft

lockable storage where possible
key management and registration
tracking/GPS (if required)

NB: prevention requirements can influence acceptance and payment (particularly in the event of theft).

Checklist: apply for aerial work platform insurance in 10 minutes

3) Coverage & accessories

WA + possibly fire/theft
hull/all-risk desirable?
specify work basket/jib/tracking and options
choose an appropriate deductible

Frequently asked questions about insuring aerial work platforms

What is aerial work platform insurance?

Aerial work platform insurance usually falls under work equipment insurance. This usually insures liability (third party liability) for damage to third parties and can be expanded to include fire/theft and comprehensive/all risk for damage to the aerial work platform itself.

Is airframe/all-risk necessary for an aerial work platform?

Not always, but often with higher values, intensive use or if you also want to insure damage due to collision/fall. WA only covers damage to third parties.

Which types of aerial work platforms can I insure?

In practice, scissor lifts, telescopic lifts and spider lifts are insured as work equipment. The exact acceptance policy and terms depend on commitment, value and security.

Are the work basket, jib and accessories insured?

That depends on the policy. Accessories can have a maximum or specific definition. Preferably specify expensive options explicitly in the quotation.

Is transport (loading/unloading) included in the insurance?

Transport coverage is policy dependent. If you regularly transport (trailer/low loader) or via transporter, adjust the coverage accordingly when applying.

What if the aerial platform occasionally drives on public roads?

This is situation dependent. Always report this when applying so that coverage is arranged correctly.

What prevention requirements apply in the event of theft?

This varies per insurer. Consider storage, locks, key management and possibly tracking/GPS. Failure to comply may affect acceptance or payment.

What information do I need for a quote?

Usually: brand/type, year of manufacture, serial number(s), working height, value, use (indoor/outdoor), locations, transport, storage/security and desired coverage (third party liability, fire/theft, hull/all risk) plus accessories.

How does the deductible work?

The deductible is the part of the damage that you pay yourself. An appropriate deductible can lower your premium, but increase your own financial risk.

Insuring a forklift – liability and damage to work equipment

A forklift (forklift, reach truck, stapelaar) is onmisbaar in magazijn en logistiek, maar schade ontstaat snel: collision met stellingen, pallets, deuren, voertuigen of letsel bij derden. Met een forklift insurance through the work equipment insurance insures you (1) Liability voor injury aan anderen en (2) – afhankelijk van gekozen dekking – damage to your own forklift due to, for example, fire, theft, vandalism or collision.

Op deze pagina leest u hoe de dekkingen werken (WA, brand/diefstal, (beperkt) casco en casco/allrisk), waar u op let bij inzet op terrein en (Situation dependent) de openbare weg, en hoe u preventie en acceptatie slim regelt.

What is forklift insurance (work equipment insurance)?

Goal

Een forklift insurance dekt financiële gevolgen van schadeclaims en/of schade aan uw heftruck. Afhankelijk van uw keuzes kan dit gaan om liability (WA), fire/theft and hull/all-risk.

Third party liability versus business liability

Schade met rijdend/zelfrijdend materieel kan anders beoordeeld worden dan algemene bedrijfsLiability. Daarom is een specifieke werkmaterieeldekking vaak passend.

The exact coverage required depends on your situation and use.

Important: Record use: indoors/outdoors, on your own property, customer locations and whether you use public roads (depending on the situation).

For whom is forklift insurance relevant?

Warehouse & logistics

racks and goods flows
high risk of collision damage
multiple drivers/teams

Production & industry

internal transport movements
damage to machines/doors/pipes
safety and training are important

Construction & outdoor area

rougher conditions
more weather influences
higher susceptibility to theft/vandalism

When should you pay extra close attention?

bee lending/rental or use by third parties (always report);
when betting on customer locations with strict safety rules;
at (situation-dependent) Public road or traffic around the site;
for electric forklifts: battery, charger and fire risk in loading space.

Coverage: third party liability, fire/theft and hull/all risk

WA (liability)

damage to third parties (goods, buildings, vehicles)
injury to third parties (policy dependent)
relevant in case of damage in warehouse/industrial hall

Fire & theft

fire, theft (and attempted), vandalism (policy dependent)
relevant for outdoor storage or multiple locations
prevention requirements can be decisive

Casco / All risk

damage to the forklift due to collision/fall (policy dependent)
broader than just fire/theft
pay attention to deductible and exclusions (wear and tear/gradual)

Comparison checklist

Point of comparison	Why important	What to pay attention to
Own risk	Frequent kleine schades komen vaak voor.	Kies passend Own risk; soms afwijkend bij diefstal.
Gebruik & locatie	Inzet bepaalt risico en Conditions.	Eigen terrein, customer locations, binnen/buiten, openbare weg.
battery/lader (elektrisch)	Hoge waarde and specifieke risico’s.	Meeverzekerd? Dekking voor injury tijdens laden.
Accessories	Vorken, sideshift, klemmen zijn kostbaar.	Maxima/definitie Accessories; apart opgeven indien nodig.
Exclusions	Prevents surprises in the event of a claim.	Wear and tear, lack of maintenance, intent, gradual damage.

Polisvoorwaarden zijn leidend; laat specifieke situaties schriftelijk bevestigen.

Typische heftruckschades (and hoe u ze beperkt)

collision stellingen

Schade aan stellingen, staanders en opgeslagen goederen is een klassieker. Met WA dekt u schade aan derden; met casco kan ook schade aan de forklift zelf gedekt zijn.

Falling over / instability

Bij verkeerde belading, hellingen of scherpe bochten kan een heftruck kantelen. hull/all-risk kan relevant zijn; training en beladingsregels zijn preventief cruciaal.

injury aan deuren/voertuigen

Dockdeuren, overheaddeuren and vrachtwagens zijn gevoelig. Heldere rijroutes, spiegels and snelheid beperken dit risico.

Tip: combineer verzekering met veiligheidsmaatregelen: rijroutes, snelheidslimieten, Maintenance, en periodieke instructie voor bestuurders.

Accessories en opbouw: wat wilt u meeverzekeren?

Veelvoorkomende Accessories

vorkversteller, sideshift
rollen-/balenklem, papierklem
extra lange vorken, vorkverlengstukken
camera’s, waarschuwingssystemen
battery’s/laders (bij elektrisch)

Niet alles is standaard meeverzekerd. Vraag naar maxima/definitie van Accessories.

Zo voorkomt u discussie bij injury

specificeer Accessories en waarde in offerte
bewaar facturen and maak foto’s
controleer or (kostbare) accu separaat wordt gezien
update polis bij upgrades or vervanging

Practical: zet serienummers van heftruck en (kostbare) Accessories in uw materieellijst.

Premium: what does the price depend on?

Most important factors

type forklift (elektrisch/diesel/LPG) en waarde
coverage (third party liability, fire/theft, comprehensive/all risk) and deductible
gebruik: binnen/buiten, intensiteit, locaties
stalling and beveiliging
claims history and number of drivers

Compare wisely

vergelijk premie én Conditions
check maxima voor Accessories/accu
kies Own risk passend bij frequentie van kleine schades
let op Prevention-eisen bij diefstal

Approach: vraag 2 varianten: (1) WA + fire/theft en (2) casco/allrisk. Kies op basis van risico en waarde.

Quotation/premie

Public roads: when is extra attention needed?

Situation dependent

Sommige heftrucks rijden alleen op eigen terrein. Andere steken (incidenteel) een openbare weg over of rijden rondom docks. Afhankelijk van registratie en gebruik kan Liability anders worden beoordeeld.

Laat dit altijd toetsen in uw aanvraag zodat uw dekking past bee de werkelijkheid.

Practical points of interest

wie bestuurt de forklift en is instructie aantoonbaar?
is er A verkeersplan rondom het terrein?
zijn waarschuwingen/ verlichting and zicht voorzieningen op orde?
welke risico’s zijn er bij kruisingen and docks?

Tip: vermeld expliciet “alleen bedrijfsterrein” of “incidenteel Public road” om misverstanden bij schade te voorkomen.

Prevention: this is how you limit damage and improve acceptance

Training & instructie

periodieke instructie bestuurders
regels voor belading and snelheid
toezicht op nieuwe medewerkers

Werkplek & routes

markeer rijroutes and voetgangerszones
spiegels op kruisingen
goede verlichting in magazijn/docks

Maintenance & controle

periodiek Maintenance en keuring
banden/kettingen/remmen controleren
battery/laders veilig laden (elektrisch)

NB: bij diefstal kan niet voldoen aan Prevention-eisen gevolgen hebben voor de uitkering.

Veelgestelde vragen over forklift verzekeren

Wat is een forklift insurance?

Een heftruckverzekering valt vaak onder de work equipment insurance. U verzekert hiermee doorgaans aansprakelijkheid (WA) voor schade aan derden en kunt dit uitbreiden met brand/diefstal en casco/allrisk voor schade aan de heftruck zelf.

Is WA voldoende voor mijn forklift?

WA dekt schade aan derden, maar niet de damage to your own forklift. Als u ook reparatiekosten of verlies van de heftruck wilt afdekken, is aanvullende dekking zoals brand/diefstal of casco/allrisk relevant.

Dekt de verzekering injury aan stellingen en opgeslagen goederen?

Schade aan goederen/gebouwen van anderen kan onder WA vallen (polisafhankelijk). Voor damage to your own forklift is casco/allrisk relevant. Controleer altijd polisvoorwaarden en eigen risico.

Zijn accu en lader van een elektrische forklift meeverzekerd?

Dat is polisafhankelijk. Accu’s hebben vaak een hoge waarde en kunnen anders worden behandeld dan standaard Accessories. Laat accu en lader expliciet meenemen in de offerte.

Is een forklift verzekerd als ik deze uitleen of verhuur?

Verhuur of uitlenen moet u vooraf melden. De Conditions en dekking kunnen afwijken als derden de heftruck besturen of op andere locaties wordt ingezet.

Wat als mijn heftruck (incidenteel) over de Public road rijdt?

Dit is Situation dependent. Vermeld het altijd bij de aanvraag zodat de juiste aansprakelijkheids- en eventuele wettelijke vereisten (indien van toepassing) worden meegenomen.

What information do I need for a quote?

Meestal: make/type, year of construction, serienummer(s), waarde, gebruik (binnen/buiten), locaties (eigen terrein/klant), aantal bestuurders en gewenste dekking (WA, brand/diefstal, casco/allrisk) plus accessoires/accu.

How does the deductible work?

Het Own risk is het deel van de schade dat u zelf betaalt. Bij heftrucks komen relatief vaak kleine schades voor; kies daarom een Own risk dat past bij uw risicobereidheid.
