Excavators and mini diggers are among the most stolen types of plant equipment in the UK. With units valued anywhere from £15,000 to over £200,000, one theft can devastate your business and drive up your insurance costs.

Not all diggers are treated equally when it comes to insurance. Whether you’re operating a compact mini digger for landscaping or a large excavator for major groundwork, the type of machine affects the level of risk and the insurance you need.

If you operate a digger or excavator whether it’s a mini digger, tracked machine or wheeled unit, having the right insurance isn’t just a box-tick exercise. With high theft rates, expensive repairs, and strict hire conditions, digger insurance plays a vital role in protecting your business.
