What Is Telehandler Insurance?

Telehandler insurance is a specialist policy that protects telescopic handlers used across construction, agriculture, and warehousing. Due to their lifting capacity, working height, and site exposure, they require insurance beyond what standard plant or vehicle policies provide.

Our policies are designed for:

  • Standard and high-reach telehandlers

  • Rotating telehandlers (Roto models)

  • Agricultural and rough-terrain telehandlers

  • Fork-mounted or bucket-fitted machines

Whether your machine is used for materials handling, pallet work, or lifting personnel, we’ll ensure it’s covered against loss, damage and liability.

Who Needs Telehandler Insurance?

Telehandler cover is ideal for:

  • Construction companies using lifting equipment

  • Farmers and agricultural contractors

  • Plant hire businesses renting out telehandlers

  • Warehouse and logistics operations

  • Owner-operators and subcontractors

If your work involves lifting, loading or transporting materials using a telehandler, dedicated insurance ensures your machine and liabilities are fully protected.

What Does Telehandler Insurance Cover?

We’ll help you build a telehandler policy with cover for:

  • Accidental damage, fire, and theft

  • Hired-in plant & continuing hire charges

  • Attachments and hydraulic arms

  • Optional breakdown, legal cover, or business interruption
