What is Covered by a Contractor's Equipment Insurance Policy?

Contractors' Equipment insurance policies provide protection for mobile or contractors' equipment located at the insured's premises, at job sites or in transit. Property covered ranges from employees' tools to scaffolding to cranes, etc. If an item of property is used by the contractor to do a job and is not licensed for road use, it probably qualifies as contractors' equipment and should be covered. This is a flexible policy that can be tailored to respond to specific situations.
