Machinery Breakdown Insurance
Cover for sudden and unforeseen mechanical or electrical damage during use, rest, or maintenance.
Product Overview
Many businesses have invested large sums of money into acquiring machineries that fit their specific business requirements.
However, these machineries can potentially breakdown or stop working.

The policy covers all accidental damages or losses due to any causes except those specifically excluded in the policy.
Examples of machineries that can be insured are lifts, generators, elevators, escalators, industrial machines, and all other machinery that are mechanical in nature.
