Bulldozer Insurance
A bulldozer is a heavy, high-value machine working on the toughest ground on the job.
We arrange bulldozer insurance that covers the dozer on site, in transit and against theft.
Mobile plant cover built for the realities of earthmoving and land clearing.
Cover for Dozers in the Hardest Conditions
Bulldozers push, rip and clear in conditions that punish machinery every hour they run.
Fire risk during land clearing, transport between sites and theft of an idle machine are all real exposures.
We structure cover that protects the dozer wherever it works, so a damaged machine does not stall the project.
“A dozer earns by working the worst ground on site. The cover has to expect that.”
What Bulldozer Insurance Typically Covers
Cover is tailored to the machine and your work, and generally includes the following.
- Accidental damage, collision and overturning
- Fire, including land-clearing fire risk, plus theft and attempted theft
- Damage while in transit on a float or low loader
- Attachments such as blades and rippers
- Vandalism and malicious damage
- Hire costs to keep a job moving during repairs, where arranged
- Damage from operating on slopes and unstable ground
- Cover across multiple sites Australia wide
Cover varies by insurer and how you operate. We confirm exactly what is and isn’t included before you rely on it.
The Risks a Bulldozer Faces
Dozers carry the heavy-plant exposures, amplified by the conditions they work in.
Fire During Land Clearing
Clearing dry vegetation is a genuine fire risk to the machine and the surrounding area.
Transit and Float Damage
Moving a heavy crawler machine between sites is high-risk for both the dozer and the float.
Overturning on Slopes
Working on grades and uneven ground can roll a dozer, causing major structural damage.
Cover Types That Work With Bulldozer Insurance
Earthmoving contractors usually arrange one or two of these alongside the machine cover.

Fire cover is a core part of mobile plant insurance, which matters for dozers given the land-clearing fire risk. We confirm how the policy responds before you rely on it.
Yes. Cover while the machine is on a float or low loader is included, since moving a heavy crawler is one of its highest-risk moments.
Yes. Attachments are scheduled as part of the machine and covered for accidental damage and theft.
