MACHINERY PROTECTION

PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS WITH ENHANCED MACHINERY COVER

Extended machinery warranties don’t normally provide cover for breakdown or accidental damage caused whilst in operation. That’s where we have you covered.

Developed in conjunction with a leading insurer, the MACH 3-5-7 insurance policy is designed for operators of industrial and commercial machinery. It helps you plan for unforeseen mechanical breakdowns and production interruptions.

MACH 3-5-7 can protect:

Almost any new or used fixed and installed machine under 10 years old that is not used in:

×              food processing,

×              pre-press & digital print machinery, or

×              recycling, reclamation or disposal of waste.

Flexible cover and fixed premiums

You can choose up to seven years’ flexible cover. And, once you’ve chosen the length of your policy, regardless of the number of losses reported, the premium is guaranteed never to rise throughout the lifetime of the policy.* MACH 3-5-7 allows you to secure protection for your machinery longer than conventional insurance policies or repair contracts.

Your choice of repairer

You can choose the quickest and most convenient repairer for you and your machinery, subject to policy limits. This could mean the cost of downtime is kept to a minimum and that you’re in complete control of the repairs. You can even make a repair using your own qualified in-house engineers.

Don’t wait for your warranty to expire.

While it’s true that you’re more vulnerable to breakdown losses after your warranty expires, your insurance premium will be significantly reduced if you take out a MACH 3-5-7 policy when you purchase a machine. As the likelihood of a claim is much less in year one (see chart opposite) your premium will reflect this. Remember with MACH 3-5-7 you choose the length of the policy, effectively allowing you to benefit from year one prices for up to seven years!*

It’s also worth noting that there are certain claims supplier’s warranties don’t cover, in particular damage or operator error claims. Make sure your machinery is covered with Mach 3-5-7.
