What is tipper and grab lorry insurance?
Tipper and grab insurance is commercial motor cover for lorries with tipping bodies, loader cranes or skip gear. Alongside the vehicle, it can cover the equipment fitted to it, and public and employers’ liability for site work can be arranged alongside it.
Tipping and lifting are where the claims are. Dropped loads and struck overhead cables cost far more than a bumper.
Your tipper or grab insurance depends on:
Body type and crane fittedWhat you carryConstruction or waste workDrivers and experienceWhere lorries are parkedNumber of vehiclesWho needs tipper and grab cover?
Who needs tipper and grab cover?
Tippers, grabs and skip lorries work on live sites and in waste yards, where loading damage and site access claims are far more common than on general haulage.
