Machinery insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides coverage for a range of machinery and equipment used in businesses, such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics. The purpose of machinery insurance is to protect the insured from financial losses that may arise from unforeseen events such as theft, damage, breakdown, and other perils. Machinery insurance policies may cover a variety of equipment, such as production machinery, generators, transformers, compressors, cranes, and forklifts. The coverage typically includes damage caused by accidental events, such as fire, explosion, lightning, water damage, and impact from external objects.
