1

Importing a crane — needed CPM + transit insurance before unloading

The situation

A contractor importing a crane from another state needed Contractors Plant & Machinery (CPM) insurance plus transit coverage. The crane was arriving by trailer and he needed proof of insurance before the transport company would release it.

How we helped

We arranged CPM insurance with the correct sum insured based on invoice value, added transit cover for the movement, and got the certificate issued before the delivery date. Documents were shared on WhatsApp for quick verification at the unloading point.

Fleet of 12 lorries — one had an accident on NH, needed claim filed fast

The situation

A fleet owner with 12 lorries had one vehicle involved in a road accident on the NH belt near Red Hills. The driver was injured, third-party damage was significant, and the police complaint had to be registered. He didn't know what to do first.

How we helped

We guided the immediate steps: FIR copy, hospital records, spot photos, and insurer intimation within 24 hours. We prepared the claim documents in the right order so the surveyor could process without back-and-forth. The claim was settled without unnecessary delays.

Documents you'll need

  • Purchase value / valuation basis
  • Equipment details + usage context
  • Photos + maintenance/inspection records (as applicable)
  • Incident timeline + supporting docs

What affects premium and acceptance

  • Equipment value, type and age
  • Usage exposure (public zones, worksites, NH movement)
  • Maintenance record discipline and loss history (as applicable)

Mistakes that delay or reduce claims

  • Declared value chosen too low to save premium
  • Not clarifying how/where equipment is used
  • Missing proof trail when incident occurs
  • Declared value not supported by proof/valuation
  • Usage/site exposure mismatch vs proposal
  • Delay in intimation leading to timeline disputes

Before you buy or renew

  • Keep purchase invoice/valuation proof ready
  • Write usage summary (where operated, typical site exposure)
  • Maintain basic maintenance/inspection file (as applicable)
  • Define incident reporting SOP (photos + timeline)

Still wondering?

Common questions people have before reaching out about this type of insurance.

?I'm hiring a crane for 3 months — do I need annual insurance?

Short-term CPM policies can cover specific project durations. If you hire equipment frequently, annual coverage may be more economical. We compare both options for you.

?Does CPM insurance cover the operator/driver too?

CPM covers the machine — not the operator's injuries. For operator/worker injuries, you need Workmen Compensation insurance. We help you set up both together.
