Contractor Tools and Equipment Coverage: Insuring Your Gear On and Off the Jobsite 

Replacing stolen power tools, or damaged equipment out of pocket can drain a contractor’s cash flow fast. Contractor tools and equipment coverage, sometimes called inland marine or floater coverage, can financially protect the physical gear your business depends on, whether it is sitting in your truck, staged at a jobsite or locked in your shop overnight.

What Is Contractor Tools and Equipment Coverage?

This policy can cover the tools and equipment your business owns or leases against loss from theft, damage, fire and other covered perils. Key features typically include:

• Coverage that follows your equipment, on or off the jobsite
• Coverage for tools in transit or stored at a temporary location
• Options for leased or rented equipment
• Scheduled coverage for high-value items and blanket coverage for smaller tools

Coverage limits, deductibles and exclusions may vary by carrier.

Why Contractors Need This Policy

Contractors working across Modesto, CA may face theft exposure at active sites, loss in transit and equipment damage from weather or accidents. A gap in coverage means repair or replacement costs come directly from your operating budget, which can delay projects and strain client relationships.
