Overview

Diggers are an expensive investment, but your insurance doesn’t have to be. Finding the right excavator insurance for your digger will protect your equipment and prepare you for any potential problems. Whether you use your digger for personal or business use, we will find the coverage you need to fit your needs.

What is excavator and digger insurance?

Excavator and digger insurance covers a range of risks and liabilities associated with operating heavy machinery. 

These risks can include damage to the machinery itself, damage to other property or equipment, injury to workers or third parties, and legal claims arising from accidents or other incidents. 

You can choose from the following cover in a special types insurance policy for diggers:

  • Third-Party Only: Cover against damage, injury or death to other people or their property.
  • Third-Party, Fire & Theft: The same as above, including fire, theft and attempted theft.
  • Comprehensive: All of the above, including accidental damage.

The level of cover you need will really depend on the industry you work in and the level of risks posed to your staff when operating this type of excavator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is classed as a mini digger?

Generally, an excavator is classed as a mini digger if it weighs between one and ten tonnes, with a maximum digging depth of between one and six meters. The size and weight of a mini digger – also known as a compact excavator –  can vary depending on the model.

Mini diggers are popular because of their compact size, ease of transportation, and lower fuel consumption compared to larger excavators. They are also easier to operate and require less space to manoeuvre, making them ideal for smaller job sites.

What is the difference between a digger and a mini digger?

A digger and a mini digger are both excavation machines used for digging and moving earth.

Diggers typically consist of a long boom arm with a digging bucket at the end, mounted on a rotating platform called a “house” or “cab”. 

A mini digger, on the other hand, is a smaller version of a digger.

Compared to standard diggers, they have a smaller frame and boom arm, which allows them to access smaller and tighter spaces. Since mini diggers are more versatile, they’re commonly used in landscaping and agricultural work.

What licence do I need for a digger and mini digger?

To use a mini digger or digger on the road and to transport it from one job location to another, you need a category F licence (formerly category H).

You may also need to complete additional training to get a Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) card, which is widely recognised and recommended in the construction industry. 

Most employers require you to have a CPCS licence to work with plant machinery and excavators. However, if you intend to use your digger for private off-road use on a site or premises, you do not need to have a licence or this training.
