What Is Dumper Truck Insurance?

Dumper truck insurance provides cover for trucks used to transport materials such as soil, rubble, or aggregate on construction and groundwork sites. These include:

  • Forward-tipping dumpers

  • Tracked dump trucks

  • Swivel skip dumpers

  • Road-going tipper trucks

  • Articulated or rigid chassis dump trucks

Standard vehicle insurance doesn’t usually cover these specialist machines, especially if they’re not used on public roads. Our policies are tailored to the way you use your truck, with flexible options for both on-road and off-road risks.

Who Needs Dumper Truck Insurance?

You should consider dumper truck insurance if you:

  • Operate a construction or groundwork business

  • Own or hire off-road dumpers for site work

  • Use road-registered tipper trucks on public highways

  • Lease or contract hire dumper trucks for short-term projects

  • Employ drivers or operators for site use

Whether you operate one small forward-tip dumper or run a fleet of road-going tippers, we’ll arrange cover that protects your vehicles and keeps your business compliant.

Optional extras like breakdown, legal expenses, and business interruption can also be added.
